Guest reviews

Absolutely amazing spot for anyone looking for a unique experience in one of New Zealands hidden gems.

The Glamping tent has all the amenities one could think of and views to die for. I’ve stayed in places all over the world and this would have to be one of my favorite places, the owners have done a brilliant job with how the place is designed and while you are in a tent it is a completely luxurious experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a private getaway.

Totally recommend Drift Off Grid Glamping as a truly world class experience!

Everything was perfect and it was obvious that no expense had been spared with the comfortable and glamorous touches throughout . We absolutely loved it – it was such a classy, relaxing experience and we would return in a heartbeat!

Exceeded all expectations!!

This glamping tent provides the most tranquil environment for reprieve. The inside of the tent is beautifully furnished and decorated and the panoramic view of Tata Bay that you see from your tent is breathtaking. Jana does not miss a beat with her attention to detail. She is extremely responsive and aims to please her guests. Would highly recommend this stay to all family and friends that visit the Golden Bay region. Your tent was by far our best and most unique stay in our travels across New Zealand! Thank you for letting us enjoy a little piece of heaven on earth. We hope to be back sometime in the future!
