These are not your standard getaways. Get off the beaten track and see all sides of New Zealand, not just the hot spots. Often tucked away in breathtaking corners of the country, many Canopy Camping Escapes are found down winding gravel roads or perched on private land you’d otherwise never access – the kind of places you want to stay the night and spend time exploring. From Elevate Escape in Northland, just 15 minutes from Russell, where you can soak in an outdoor bath overlooking the forest, valley and islands – to the Rakiura Cabins on Stewart Island, nestled deep in native bush, every stay is steeped in setting and story.
With locations spread from the far north to the deep south, you can add something truly special to any road trip, weekend away or romantic escape, wherever in the country you’re headed.
For travellers seeking an authentic, outdoor-based New Zealand experience, Canopy Camping Escapes offers the classic Kiwi getaway, reimagined. These hidden gems are tranquil, private, and thoughtfully placed to show off the country’s best scenery. Whether it’s native bush, wild coastline or alpine ridgelines, the landscapes are the hero, and you get to stay the night.
Many of the escapes are nestled deep in nature, where the soundtrack is bird song and the pace is slow. Picture waking up at Tui Hilltop in Northland, wrapped in native trees and subtropical plants, or watching the sun filter through towering pōhutukawa branches as you sip coffee beside Kanuka on the lakeside in the Bay of Plenty. In Raglan, you can sleep under the stars in Venus, a glamping dome where the curved windows bring the forest and sky right to your bedside. Or venture to Banks Peninsula for a night at Lavericks Bay Retreat, where a beautifully crafted cabin perches above rugged cliffs with views of the Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly ahead.
These escapes let you slow down, breathe deeply, and truly connect with the natural world. If you’re looking for a base to explore the great outdoors, or just a reason to stop and take it all in, this is where you’ll find it.
Every Canopy Camping Escape is exclusive. You won’t find these places on any other booking platform. Each stay is privately listed and can only be booked directly through Canopy Camping Escapes, ensuring a one-of-a-kind experience from start to finish. What sets them apart is the unmatched hospitality offered by passionate local hosts, who know their slice of New Zealand inside and out. Many of these escapes are tucked away in small towns or remote corners of the country, giving you the chance to discover places you may never have thought to visit, and to connect with communities that make you feel right at home.
Some escapes aren’t just beautiful, they’re unforgettable. Canopy Camping Escapes offers stays that are perfect for special occasions, romantic getaways, or simply creating new memories with the people who matter most. From cosy cabins to off-grid glamping retreats, these places set the stage for meaningful experiences.
