Welcome to our peaceful backyard camp spot, perfect for travellers looking for a calm, safe place to rest for the night. Set in a friendly residential area, this grassy space beside an old plum tree suits tents or small camper setups and offers a relaxed, low-key stay away from busy holiday parks. You’ll enjoy a quiet evening, a good night’s sleep, and the feeling of being hosted rather than parked. Dogs live on the property, so fellow dog-lovers are especially welcome. The space is best suited to respectful, self-contained travellers who value a simple, comfortable stopover. A great base for exploring the local area or just taking a breather on your journey.

Small fee: NZ$10 per person/night
