What is glamping exactly? And, why is it perfect for luxury travellers looking for a spot of adventure? We believe that this innovative blend of glamour and camping is redefining the way we experience the great outdoors, offering an unparalleled level of comfort and connection with nature that luxury travellers seeking unique, immersive, and luxurious experiences are looking for.
What Is Glamping?
Glamping, short for "glamorous camping," represents a fusion of two seemingly contrasting worlds – the rustic charm of camping and the opulence of luxury accommodation. It's no surprise that glamping has gained tremendous popularity among travellers seeking adventure, and a sense of something beyond the traditional hotel experience.
At NewZeal we offer exceptional glamping options that tie in beautifully with our rafting and hiking experiences. Our River’s Edge Retreat hosts glampers on an exclusive use basis and includes a river rafting experience on the magnificent Hawea River, as well as a private chef and assistants to make our guests feel extra special.
What is so exciting about NewZeal’s glamping proposition, is that we can locate our luxury Nordic Tipi tents in wilderness spots too. This means that a remote raft down a pristine New Zealand river can become an overnight adventure with a difference!
