Our read

You sleep close to the weather, and getting there is part of the reset.

Come here for

Staying somewhere that takes its land seriously
Sleeping outdoors without giving up a real bed
Swimming, paddling or simply staring at water

Skip it if

You want to arrive on a whim — reaching it takes planning
You need polished finishes and constant connectivity
You want restaurants and an evening scene within walking distance

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

01 - Arrive

The place itself

Canopy Camping Escapes is a New Zealand-owned glamping collection founded in 2012 by Liz Henderson and Sonia Minnaar, curating 200+ handpicked escapes from Otago to the Far North. Based on the Kapiti Coast, the team of eight seeks out off-the-beaten-track tents, quirky cabins, and secret hideaways — from super luxurious to simple and rustic — each with a strong connection to nature. Guests book direct through canopycamping.co.nz to discover whimsical canvas tents, personality-filled cabins, and secluded nature stays designed for unplugging, slowing down, and reconnecting. Many escapes intentionally limit Wi-Fi and mobile reception so guests can step away from screens and back into the outdoors.
