Seasonal Information
Our glamping season runs from the 1st October through to 30th April each year. While this is Southland’s warmer season, the weather can still be unpredictable. As you’ll be sleeping in luxury canvas tents, we recommend bringing some extra cosy layers or warm sleepwear, just in case the temperature drops overnight. The tents are comfortable and well set up, but being prepared will help ensure you have a relaxed and enjoyable stay.
Payment Options
We offer two convenient payment methods:
• Bank Transfer (No Fee) — Contact us directly for bookings paid via bank transfer and we will issue your invoice manually.
• Credit Card — Available via online booking link. A 3% processing fee applies.
Booking Terms
• 50% deposit due at booking
• Final balance due 14 days before arrival
• Bookings are confirmed once the required deposit has been received.
Thank you for supporting our small independently run retreat.
Gift the Experience of Forest Hillside
A Forest Hillside Glamping Retreat gift voucher offers more than a night away — it offers a chance to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories in the peaceful Southland countryside.
Our gift vouchers are valid for one year from the date of purchase, giving recipients plenty of time to plan their stay. Our current season has sold out so the price you see reflects on our price increase for next season due to additional tents being added.
If you would like to include a personalised message on your voucher, simply add your wording in the “Additional Notes” section at checkout.
Gift vouchers will be emailed to you as a PDF file, ready to print or forward directly to the recipient.
