Both the Kōwhai tent and the Pōhutukawa tent are located in Waitomo, which is in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand.

Kōwhai Tent: There is a 120 meter uphill walk from the carpark to the glampsite. We recommend you factor this in when packing your bags. The driving track requires a 4WD or All Wheel Drive vehicle. You are welcome to borrow our 4WD.

Pōhutukawa Tent: Yes you can drive all the way to the glamping site.

The Kōwhai Tent and the Pōhutukawa Tent are about 1km apart. The sites are just visible to each other in the distance but far enough apart that you won't hear each other and will still have complete privacy at each site.

If you have a minor medical incident, there is a first aid kit located in the drawer of the sofa bed.

For medical emergencies, please dial 111 and request an ambulance (there is cellphone reception and 4G at the glamp site).

The nearest medical centre is Te Kuiti Hospital located in Te Kuiti township.
