Luxury Glamping • Mahurangi West, New Zealand
Just 40 minutes drive north of Auckland’s harbour bridge (60 mins from the airport), Waha Ridge is a steep, seaward sloping landscape. Poplars line the western slopes softening the slope to Huawai Bay. The sun rises on the eastern side of the farm, and then casts many a glorious sunset as it dips behind the hills to the west. From The Forest tent, uninterrupted water views of Pukapuka Inlet, frame our own “little bay of islands!”
Cocooned by forest, sea and mountains, the Forest Tent sits seamlessly in its stunning rural setting, surrounded by natural New Zealand bush, sea and rolling hills.
