This stunning glamping destination is tucked away on a 306-hectare farm, with a rugged landscape that ranges from steep tussock covered pastures to flat hilltops and rolling home paddocks. With the beach less than 50 meters from the front door, guests will easily be able to enjoy this stretch of New Zealand's coastline. With its coves and beaches that run all the way from Christchurch, to the Birdlings Flat on the southern side of the Banks Peninsula, it is considered one of the most beautiful parts of the area and a prime destination for nature enthusiasts. Situated between Diamond Harbour and the towns of Port Levy and Purau, this location is the perfect combination of secluded rurality without having to sacrifice the comfort of nearby amenities.
