Season Information

Our glamping season runs from 1 October through to 30 April each year. While this is Southland’s warmer season, the weather can still be unpredictable.



As you’ll be sleeping in off grid luxury canvas tents, we recommend bringing some extra cosy layers or warm sleepwear in case the temperature drops overnight.



The tents are comfortable and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing stay, but being prepared will help ensure you stay warm and fully enjoy your glamping experience.
