Although 'a bit of a grunt' to the site, time was allowed for a breather! We were excited to see the camp with central yurt, bbq, ice box, toilet, shower, table and leisure furniture all within close proximity. As it was autumn the evening was a little brisk, but plenty of extra blankets, hotties were available. We used the bbq to boil water - however, would have loved a flask to keep extra water hot! Fairy lights and battery powered candles created atmosphere and even on a trip to the toilet during the night, was delighted to see fairy lights adorning the loo! The night sky was clear with a wonderful view of the galaxy above. Utensils were supplied plus tea, coffee, milk. read less

There will likely be a temperature range from toasty days in the sun and under solar dome, to chilly nights curled together under the stars, so bring layers (advice for all of New Zealand, really). We enjoyed our time at the camp immensely and hope to return to this region someday. The facilities were really nice, as long as you don't mind a little jaunt to the camp from your car; trade that small effort in for beaches all your own. read less

If you are looking for an environment where you can have complete peace and privacy in a setting like a picture postcard with facilities second to none, you have just found it!!

Whether it be a single person escape or a couples retreat, this is what you need and you will find that the re-connection to yourself is priceless.

I visited not long after my wife died, it saved me.

The hosts are brilliant, you want for nothing, and the memory will make you smile for life.

Thankyou, Glenn read less

Very special stayed in the camp ,don’t worry about anything just go! Especially there is a amazing starry sky at night.

Awesome, unique, beautiful experience on the wonderful Wanaka Lake. Would really recommend this!

A really nice area, with tons of privacy. Beautiful views, with great little trails to walk along.

The "tent" is basically a tiny house, it even has a door with hinges. This geodesic dome will keep you completely sheltered from the elements, while allowing beautiful views of the stars and mountains.

There is a pretty well stocked (outdoor) kitchen, and you can cook on the bbq/grill. There is a composting toilet. There is a great shower. I will give a warning that the shower was too hot for my wife.

Overall a pretty great experience. A bit expensive for what you get/need, but I dont regret it (it's worth stating that we do normal tent camping a lot so this was an interesting experience). It's nice if you want to feel like you're camping, but still have access to a bed/kitchen/shower/toilet. read less

Amy and Debbie were very helpful. All the arrangements were taken care, minute details particularly in the kitchen area is so well equipped, shower area is perfect. Kids were so excited and even more thrilled to see the board games and outdoor games, power banks to charge the phone were very good could last us for 2 days easily

We could see the stars like never before and woke with chirping of birds.

As far as our first camping experience, we had pretty much everything we needed for the stay.

The star-gazing experience was splendid!! Highly recommend for those who want to spend a getaway weekend on the hill 😉

看到這邊就不要猶豫了,直接預定吧!距離Wanaka只有15分鐘的車程,帳篷在一個隱蔽的小山坡上｡白天可以清楚得看到Dublin Bay山水的風景,時不時還有小型飛機從眼前穿過;傍晚可以一邊看著日落一邊享受晚餐,晚上無疑可以看到銀河和星空,Amy還貼心的為我們準備了觀星時需要用到的毯子和外套｡帳篷有戶外廚房,建議上山之前去附近超商買點食物自己來煮｡因為在山上,到晚上還是會有點冷,建議大家多穿一點哦~ read less

The campsite was very well presented and the host made it easy to find. The views of the lake from the campsite were gorgeous and the outdoor kitchen, shower and toilet were very clean and accessible. We had a great nights sleep under the stars from the comfort of the full bed. We highly recommend this stay if you are looking for a bit of the outdoors experience with the amenities of being indoors. read less

Amazing stay, the star was so beautiful and Amy was very nice and caring.

Amy and Mikey have thought of everything. Highly recommend the additional meals and the antipasto platter was out of this world....

Beautiful, secluded place to camp for a couple. We've never seen so many stars at night!

The yurt was really comfortable and we loved making use of the outdoor kitchen. Close enough to town to go in for dinner, but far enough to feel like a retreat. read less
