Units Available: 1This site is located atop a steep hill where a moderate level of fitness is required, but it is well worth the 10–15 minute walk up for the amazing 180 degree views across the lake from Treble Cone to Mt. Gold. The beach is about a 20-minute walk away from here. This site is nestled in amongst wilding pines, so it is sheltered but has incredible views, and we have decorated the tent in a bright and cheerful Summer Art Deco theme.
The Mt. Gold site is awesome. It is located on the top of a hill (10-13 minute walk from your car), but you are rewarded with fantastic 180 degree views over Lake Wanaka. The site is nestled in amongst some pine trees, so it’s nice and sheltered and well hidden from public view.
At Mt. Gold, they have fitted out the tent in a Summer Art Deco theme. Bright cheerful colours, fun patterns, pineapples and parrots, it’s all here. It’s a fun environment to kick back and relax in. The tent is decorated in fairy lights that magically light up when it gets dark and our eccentric mix of LED candles, lanterns and solar lights will turn your evening into a magical wonderland each night. Inside, you will find a comfy Queen bed dressed in quality linen, quilts and soft furnishings. The interiors reflect your host's desire to add, not detract, from the beautiful natural surroundings. Lanterns, cushions and throws help create a nest that will keep you cosy and comfortable.
Your hosts have paid very close attention to detail and ensured our guests are provided with everything they need to make this holiday truly hassle free.
The bathroom facilities are very cute. The toilet is a flushable portable loo and the shower is powered by gas hot water and flows at a rate of 10L per minute. No solar showers here!
In keeping with the landscape they decided that in amongst all the glamor, some things were to be kept rustic. Therefore, the site chosen has had little influence from man. The land is typically dry and golden underfoot, and native scrub abounds. The rabbits have really taken to the area and will be frequently seen nibbling the grass nearby. The land is by no means flat, which is why good footwear is recommended, but it’s the ideal place to come glamping.
Access to the site is also for the adventurous. You can choose to mountain bike, kayak, or drive to your site.
Type: Tours & Excursions Units Available: 1 Units Available: 3This site epitomises the Central Otago landscape—a touch of the natural and a dose of the influence of man. Nestled amongst a sheltering grove of wilding pines, it's typically dry and golden underfoot. From the parking, walk an easy three to five minutes up to your wonderfully private glamping site; you can see for miles, but the world can’t spot you. The view here, across the lake to the peninsula and Mt. Gold, is glorious.
$460/night for 4 guests + $26/night per extra person up to 8 guests.
This site has 3 lotus belle tents and a tree hammock tent.
The Wilding Pines site is fantastic. Located part-way up a hill (three-minute walk from your car) and nestled in amongst a sheltering grove of wilding pines, it’s an idyllic setting. The views from the campsite and even from your bed are stunning, across the lake to the peninsula with the glorious, dramatic Mt. Gold in the background.
At Wilding Pines, hosts have fitted out the tent in their Otago Safari theme, with soft colours, sheepskin rugs, mink throws and antique furniture mixed in with stylish modern decor. It’s adorable and very cosy. As dusk approaches, fairy lights will magically light up and the eccentric mix of LED candles, lanterns and solar lights work together seamlessly to create an ambient and romantic atmosphere. Inside you will find a comfy Queen bed dressed in quality linen, quilts and soft furnishings. The interiors reflect their desire to add, not detract from our beautiful natural surroundings. Lanterns, cushions, and throws help create a nest that will keep you cosy and comfortable.
