Such a relaxing place to get away from real life. Hot tub is great at night. Beautiful surroundings. Everything you need is provided, including a nice breakfast. Very clean and tidy, really enjoyed the stay

This was my first glamping experience and it was fantastic! Linda provided everything you may need. The space was clean and comfortable. The outdoor bath, with the mountain right there, was fabulous. We even had a bovine buddy allow us to give her a few scratches behind the ear.

This was a sporadic trip to which we booked a day earlier. Zoe was prompt in her responses, provided precise directions on how to find the place and the scenery from both the beach and eastury was incredible. We absolutely loved the clamping tent, it has now ruined traditional camping for us 😉 we are already looking at dates for when we can return. Thank you Zoe!!

So much love has gone into setting up this glamping location. We loved it. Lovely wedding anniversary celebration location

Words cannot describe how truly beautiful this part of the world is. The place is absolutely magnificent, well appointed with hosts that have thought of everything. Everywhere you looked was like a post card day and the stars at night were breathtaking. Our only regret was that we had to leave. Could have easily spent a few more days enjoying this place and hope to be back in the future. You will not regret booking in to spend time here.

The location offers superb mountain and sea views across Mohua- Golden Bay and a short drive to restaurants if you want to leave. It is very comfortable. Our hosts left many thoughtful touches. Our weather wasn’t great so we appreciated the heated bathroom floor and fire. You may need the earplugs ( it can get very windy). Great bed, birdsong and privacy.

Thanks Beth for creating this magnificent slice of paradise. So much love and detail went into it. We felt so comfortable and well looked after and appreciated the privacy and all the extra things you've had prepared. In reality, this place looks even better! We can highly recommend this accommodation and will definitely tell friends about it.

This was the most special place we stayed in our 3 week journey around NZ. The location next to the babbling brook next to the rolling hills of sheep and grass are what fairytales are made of. Breakfast was lovely. A great place to stay if you plan to hike tongariro. This place is worth the price, highly recommend.

Absolutely gorgeous and was a very relaxing stay, thanks so much!

This was an incredibly relaxing experience, and Satchya was very responsive and helpful. If you plan to visit Cape Reinga, you really should stay here!

I would so book The Kowhai Retreat again. Its perfect! It was even more perfect to stay after our wedding 😍 Its private with beautiful views!

First time glamping with my fiancé and photos does not do it justice - the place is amazing. Stephanine is an awesome host! Comms was very easy and prompt. would not hesitate to stay again - Wish we could of stay longer. Great introduction to glamping. Thanks again Stephanie for the stay. :)

An amazing glamping setup in a beautiful peaceful spot with absolutely everything we needed. We stayed 3 nights and spent the time chilling out and used it as a base to do some local activities. The birds were fun to watch and listen to. Would love to stay again.

So quiet and peaceful, only the birds and faraway farm animals to hear in the distance. Millions of stars fill the sky at night. Great retreat to return to after a busy day hiking and exploring (and gin tasting!) The outdoor shower is AMAZING! And the bed is so comfortable. The cool nights made for a fabulous enjoyable sleep. Camilla and Ryan are so friendly and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend to everyone! It’s a very special place.

Dan was a very friendly and helpful host - quick to sort out problems and give recommendations! The accommodation was lovely and very scenic and easily accessible by public transport. Thank you for a lovely trip Dan!

Thank you for sharing your magical part of NZ with us. Stunning views, beautiful lagoon and bush surrounds, super fun flying fox and trampoline for the kids and plenty of boards. My 8 year old had an incredible surf lesson thank you Mikey and special thanks for our take home gift. NB: no jokes about the road being 4WD I braved it in my SUV but it was a rough ride. Worth it!
