It all started from being a child free to roam and sleep in the forest. After 17 years working as a photographer in Auckland I found this place. Glamping. Luxury in the wilderness.
Is there anything better?
Into a dream where magic becomes real, 35 acres of forest full of moss and lichen, teeming with birds. Three rivers meet, an amphitheatre of wild forest in a secluded corner of Northland. A 1910 kauri bushman’s cottage, added to by a clever architect in the 1980s. A tent pitched in the trees and a converted shipping container above the canopy of the forest. A place to listen for the quiet of the stars and the moon. To drink the wild air.
