Totara Tree Tent

Booking and Availability

Cliffside Totara Tree Tent

The Cliffside Totara Tree tent is set amongst beautiful native bush in rural Waiuku, just 50 minutes drive from the CBD and 15 minutes inland from black sand Kariotahi Beach.

The Totara Tree Tent is suspended between two mighty totara trees offering a unique elevated glamping experience in the midst of native bush. It's surrounded by pristine, mature bush and a NZ working farm, and offers a completely different experience to the three Cliffside Coastal Tents. The ambiance centers on bush tranquility, bird song, and natural surroundings—perfect for disconnection and relaxation.

These specially designed tents have everything you need. Although completely off-grid, solar power produces electricity for lighting, cental heating, stereo and even an espresso machine and refrigerator. So bring your own food to self-cater, or add the full catering package for the ultimate in 5-star glamping. All you need to think about is getting yourself there - the rest is taken care of.

Eating and Drinking

A gourmet dinner and breakfast package complete with cooking instructions can be added to your package during the online booking process. You will be given a choice of steak, salmon, chicken or vegetarian, and either red or white wine, to select from. You'll enjoy a 3 course, easy self-cook dinner, and continental and cooked breakfast. You'll also be provided with plenty of snacks and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

If you choose to self-cater, you'll find a gas BBQ available for cooking. Please ensure you bring food that is suitable to cook on a BBQ.

Tea, coffee, milo, and even a coffee machine to make a decent espresso, are all provided.

Things to do

This is the ideal place to completely unplug and reconnect. Read, relax, and soak in the outdoor tub. Cosy up in bed with a good book and listen to the sound of the birds as they flit through the trees.

Back at Cliffside, which is a 15-minute drive out to the coast you'll find a range of activities, such as archery and clay target shooting, all which need to be booked in advance. You can take a walk at Karioitahi black sand beach(highly recommend), visit Awhitu peninsula beaches or lighthouse, or have a beer at the historic Kentish Hotel.
