I‘ve never gone glamping before in my life, but I hear from some of my friends that it is an absolutely spectacular experience.
Glamping, or “glamorous camping,” is where the intimacy of camping intersects with luxury travel.
Some people prefer to go camping with minimal gear and only the most crucial supplies, and like to spend their downtime in easy hammocks.
But not everything about glamping has to be glamorous and high-end. Canopy Camping, an agency in New Zealand,emphasizes the proximity that we have with our natural flora and fauna to bring guests closer to the great outdoors.
Below, we share a glimpse inside one of their incredible tiny homes, which is listed on home rental and hosting site Airbnb.
Surrounded by mountains, woods, and gentle streams, the home is absolutely perfect for anyone who is looking for a peaceful getaway.

Canopy Camping Escapes is a business that networks with landowners across New Zealand to create glamorous camping experiences or, as it’s called, “glamping” for interested guests.
This is one of their homes, named the “Fossickers Hut,” located in Marlborough, New Zealand.
This little off-the-grid hut is a perfect, peaceful escape from everyday life, and boasts simple, rustic rooms.
Guests can access the full kitchen, which features cute, little handcrafted utensils and plateware.
The hut is situated in a historic gold mining town. At the height of its popularity, the valley attracted over 2,000 gold prospectors.
But there is much to see and experience in the region.
Bird lovers flock here to see the native weka, fantail, tui, wood-pigeon, and more pork species that living among the bush.
The hut accommodates up to four guests, and has a total of three beds, one that is located on the ground floor, and the other in the loft space above.
There are plenty of activities to do near the home. Guests can go snorkeling in the crystal clear rivers, or enjoy a peaceful dip in the nearby freshwaters.
More daring travelers love to challenge themselves and go mountain biking in the paths nearby, and kayaking and river rafting in the water.
Those who want to spend their trip relaxing will love enjoying the scene from above the Wakamarina River.
There’s an old coal range in the lean-to kitchen, and an outdoor, fire-heated bathtub, which adds to the overall historic, rustic feel of the home.
Countless guests have raved about this intimate dwelling.
“That’s a special holiday tree house,” wrote Songlin, who stayed over in January.
“The birds sing for you when you open the window. The flowers are blooming for you when you observe every corner.”
‘It is a special place full of good energy,” commented Marie-Claire, another guest who stayed in the beautiful hut.
Overall, this must be one of the most tranquil little spots for a down-to-earth vacation we’ve ever seen!
