The Glamping Tent is located on the same property as Kiwiana Caravan (accommodation also available). We can accommodate larger groups with the caravan and the tent. This can be perfect for a bit of space from the kids (or the in-laws). Discounts can be offered for bookings of both the tent and the caravan together.
All extra guests within the tent (including children) requiring a bed to be made up will be an additional $30 per night. Please add additional guests when making your booking.
We (your hosts) also live on the property about 35 meters from the tent area. There are lots of trees and greenery between the dwellings so plenty of privacy. There is only 1 tent on the property and a caravan in it’s own self-contained separate zone.

We often have abundant fruit and produce and certain times of year that we love to share with our guests.
This beautiful and incredible land has been created and managed as a full Permaculture organic garden and self-sufficiency lifestyle block. Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive systems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of the landscape with the people which provides their food, energy, shelter and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. Permaculture integrates people into Nature’s design. Spending time here allows you to be embraced and nurtured by this natural design. You can be at one with the elements as you enjoy your breakfast with the sun shining upon you in the outdoor picnic area.
We live on half an acre of luscious soil with our very own stream which runs year round. We aim to grow as much of our own food as possible. We have fruit and nut trees: peach, apple, plum, grapes, nashi, hazelnut, walnut, avocado, lemon, macadamia, feijoa, fig, kiwifruit, mandarin, orange, and pear. We have our own chickens for fresh eggs. As fruit is in season, you can pick your own straight from the tree for the BEST-tasting, freshest fruit you have ever had. You can meander your way through the gardens and enjoy a meditative sit on the sea view deck taking in the multitude of natural smells and sounds.
You will lay your head to rest next to a babbling stream as the sound of the water gently lulls you to sleep. Abundant Native bird song will awake you in the morning within the natural rhythms of daybreak. We have tui, kereru, thrush, blackbird, bellbird, piwakawaka, weka, kea, and more. The morning and evening sun glow through the tent and warm it throughout the day.
Discounts will be given for longer stays.
