Tucked quietly among rolling farmland, the tub site feels like stepping into a slower, softer world. The glamping tent sits peacefully in nature, offering a creative and restorative escape. Perfect for a solo retreat or a romantic getaway for two.

Mornings begin with birdsong and the gentle sound of the nearby river flowing endlessly, like a natural meditation track. With no fridge on site, we found it easiest to grab takeout before arriving and keep it cool in the chiller bin with ice packs. Simple meals can be prepared in the charming outdoor kitchen or enjoyed around the cute little BBQ area as the sun sets over the fields.

One of the highlights is the short bush walk up the signed track to the lookout. Bring a torch if you are heading up early or late, as sunrise and sunset here are truly magical, with sweeping views across the valley.

Back at the site, relaxation comes easily. There is a warm outdoor shower and, just ten metres away, a beautiful bath tucked among the bush that is the perfect place to soak under the open sky. Spend the afternoon exploring the property, swinging from the giant tyre swing, visiting the horses, or finding the tiny private river swimming hole.

Whether you are reading on the deck, swaying in a hammock, or taking a short trip to Waihi Beach, this place invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.
