Glamping is still one of 2024's travel trends. Glamping is a portmanteau of "glamour" and "camping." A glamping getaway will bring you closer to nature while still allowing you to indulge in modern luxuries .Glamping.com describes glamping as the point "where stunning nature meets modern luxury," a way to experience the remote and wild without sacrificing comfort. People seek a balance between comfort, good amenities, and nature. Part Kiwi ingenuity, part luxury, this kind of hybrid camping combines the adventure of being in the great outdoors with all the comforts of a hotel. Many different glamping options are available across New Zealand's diverse regions, from luxury tents and yurts to hobbit holes, tree houses, eco-lodges, and even converted campervans. With glamping, you get access to certain parts of the environment you wouldn't have access to. With our safe, stunning countryside and love of the outdoors, there's no better place than New Zealand for the glamping industry to thrive.
Generally, Boutique Bed and Breakfast stays are misjudged. Many people often associate B&Bs with over-attentive hosts and a lack of privacy. But these assumptions couldn't be further from the truth! Bed and breakfast accommodation offers a personal and purpose-built experience, unlike anything you would receive at larger-scale hotels. Bed & Breakfast accommodation is great for the little personal touches. A chat with your hosts has the added benefit of arming you with local knowledge. Bed & Breakfasts are a wonderfully eclectic mix of all types of hosts and houses, and this is part of the attraction. By opening their homes and their hearts to travellers who need a comfortable bed for a night or two, B&B hosts are like instant friends you meet along the way. You have your room in the host's house, and you're served breakfast in the morning. You can share travel tips with other guests over your eggs, bacon and coffee - who knows, you may even make new friends!
