This was one of the best experiences my partner and I have had in New Zealand. Rachel, Angus and their family we’re so welcoming. The glamping tent was nicer than alot of hotels I’ve stayed in and the small touches made such a difference. The glowworms we got to see on the property made it so special. the bbq facilities, the fire pit and the stunning view is something we will be back for.
