At the luxury tent, units are equipped with a outdoor furniture. Each unit has a shared bathroom with a shower. At the luxury tent, all units include bed linen and towels. The location is incredibly special as there is no light pollution and we were able to see more shooting stars than we have ever seen on our travels. It was worth the drive to get there and peaceful to get away from the busy tourist areas. We would definitely return and highly recommend!

Hanmer Glamping in Hanmer Springs provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and barbecue facilities. There is a private entrance at the luxury tent for the convenience of those who stay. The luxury tent also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Loved the location, how the window faced the view perfectly even with the rise of the sun beaming into the room in the morning. Wood fire hot tub under the stars was for sure a great part of the experience. I really liked how nothing was cheaped out on, great interior designing. Big plus for us having a proper coffee from the coffee machine

Guests at Petal Creek Farm will be able to enjoy activities in and around Tarakohe, like hiking. Barbecue facilities are provided at the luxury tent, and guests can also relax in the garden or go on a picnic in the picnic area. My new favorite place! The yurt was spacious, comfortable, clean, and so cozy! The garden is lovely with a few down to the sea. The stars at night were stunning. Loved the open air tub! The kitchen is very well stocked and very functional. Overall just a lovely place. My only complaint was that we only booked for one night, I wish I could have stayed longer!

For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and is protected by full-day security. Great location looking out over the vineyards.

Thanks for having us!
