Cliffside Coastal Tents

Cliffside Coastal Tents

Cliffside Glam Camping, Karioitahi Beach

Cliffside Glam Camping is set on a spectacular North Island coastal property (next to Castaways Resort) in the South Western corner of Auckland, just a 50-minute drive from the CBD.

Cliffside has three coastal tents located on the secluded cliffs above Karioitahi Beach, a tree tent suspended in between two mighty totara trees 10 minutes inland - as well as the unique Cliffside Glamping & Events Venue further along the beachfront clifftops.

The Cliffside coastal tents are located 10 minutes by golf cart from the neighbouring Castaways Resort. Set in a restful and romantic spot, couples can instantly unwind and relax. A gourmet self-cook dinner and breakfast can be added to the package, so if you choose this option all you need to think about is getting yourself there - the rest is taken care of.

These specially designed tents have everything you need. Although completely off-grid, solar power produces electricity for lighting, stereo, 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.

Neighbouring Castaways Resort offers a tranquil day spa, a beautiful restaurant - Agave (best for lunches only as golf carts can't be driven after dark), and loads of adventure activities. For further information, please see Cliffside Glamping & Events Venue

***NOTE: The photographs pictured represent one of the three coastal tents available. All the tents have a similar decor and the same structure and facilities but each has a slightly different aspect and view***

    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 drinks.

    If you choose to self-cater, you'll find a gas BBQ available for cooking.

  • Things To Do

    You can completely unplug and reconnect at Cliffside Coastal Tents. Read, relax, soak in the outdoor tub, or lounge in the hammock. Cosy up in bed with a good book and listen to the sound of the surf.

    Enjoy the amazing views and changing light on the ocean from wherever you are - the bed, the bath or the hammock! If you can tear yourself away, go for a stroll on the property, either on the farm, or down to the beach.

    The neighbouring resort, Castaways, offers a range of activities, such as archery and clay target shooting, that you can book directly with Castaways. You can also book into Bersantai (Castaways Day Spa) for a hot stone massage or one of the many other tempting treatments available. Once you've made your booking contact Castaways directly to book your treatment.

    So romantic, cosy and peaceful. Love that it's completely off the grid, your own private sanctuary.

    The weather was very stormy when we stayed, but we weren't put off at all. Sitting in a hot tub in the middle of a stormy night was still relaxing. I'd come back anytime of the year, value for every cent.

    Glam camping at Castaways was amazing! We spent one night here as a break after our wedding, and it was everything we could have hoped for - a completely remote and private setting to unwind and slow down. The food provided was beautiful, and there was plenty of it too. Highly recommend!

    If you're looking for a true couples' getaway that is different and a bit more adventurous, this is it! Lovely views, private, secluded. I booked a couples' getaway package, and everything we needed was provided. A great drive just out of Auckland, beautiful black sand beach, and you can drive on the beach (there is a small waterfall walking distance just up the beach). My wife loved it, worth it. Spa is a must too!
