Nestled in a private corner of our organic farm, overlooking a bend in the beautiful Takou River, welcome to your very own private and secluded Luxury Campsite. Designed exclusively for a couple, this is the ultimate private space to relax, reconnect & rejuvenate.
This is luxury camping or 'glamping' in style; no tent to pitch, no car loads of gear to unpack, no sleeping bags to unroll and no long drops to negotiate! Gaze across the river or up at the stars from the deck of our beautiful white canvas safari-style tent set on a permanent timber floor; luxuriate in the super king bed with cosy linen, feather duvets and blankets; enjoy the perfectly appointed vintage styled kitchen and bathroom cabin with its hot running water and shower; and wake up to the sun rising over the river, the sound of birds and the gentle splash of fish in the river.
Wander down to the river and soak in your own private and romantic outdoor bath perched overlooking the water; watch the birds wading and fish jumping as the sun rises over the river; discover the hidden glow worms and swimming hole a few minutes wander upstream; explore 150 acres of organic pasture, river and native bush, and discover the pristine Takou River and stunning sandy beaches at Takou Bay with your own private canoe.
A free standing riverside Hot Tub and massages can also be booked as optional extras (fees apply to both and pre-booking is required).

Love travelling for work and pleasure; solo, with family and friends. Explored many countries and finally settled in this stunning part of New Zealand to raise our family and share our beautiful 150 acre organic farm bordered by the beautiful and unspoilt Takou River leading to Takou Bay. We love to help people switch off from the outside world and reconnect with each other and the stunning natural environment around us.
