Book your Glamping Retreat

Forest Hillside is offered on an exclusive-use basis, with pricing from $495 per night for up to 2 guests. Additional guests are $75 per person, with rates reflecting your group size and the number of private sleeping tents used.

Your booking includes exclusive use of Forest Hillside Glamping Retreat. The number of sleeping tents opened depends on the size of your group:

• 1–3 guests: 1 sleeping tent

• 4–6 guests: 2 sleeping tents

If you would like to alter the standard tent configuration (for example, have fewer people sharing a tent or have your own private tent), please contact us before making your booking. Additional tent charges may apply, and all alternative sleeping arrangements are subject to availability.

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.

Great news! Due to the September school holidays falling later this year, we’re opening early on 25 September to give families and holidaymakers the chance to enjoy a spring getaway at Forest Hillside Glamping Retreat. We can’t wait to welcome our first guests of the season!
