Pet-friendly

Wanting a different glamping experience. You are going to love this private retreat set in beautiful tropical gardens. The Airstream caravan is decorated retro style with outdoor cooking and a stand-alone stylish bathroom. This is glamping at its best. Only 1 kilometre from Russell village, restaurants, and attractions. Seasonal fruit and herbs for you to pick in season. BBQ for your use and perhaps a glass of bubbles in the spa pool. Pushbikes supplied if you would rather leave the car at home.

You will be forgiven if you think you have gone back to the 1950’s or 60’s. The American Airstream caravan has been tastefully decorated so it screams “retro”. A private beautifully landscaped property all for you. Tranquil and romantic. Spa pool for your private use.

Everything on the property is for your use only.

We are available to answer your questions or to come to you if needed. We are only 10 minutes away

Drive 1 kilometre, walk or take the bikes to Russell Village. A ferry ride to Paihia, nearby golf ranges, many beautiful walks, or sunsets from The Duke of Marlborough. Maybe a boat trip to The Hole in the Rock or a sailing trip, are a few of the many local attractions.
