Glamping: “a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping“. After travelling 35hrs from London to New Zealand the day before we were wisked away for a quick break at Kawakawa Station on the Palliser Cape in the South Wairarapa. We had wanted a couple of days away from the hustle and bustle of city life and luckily enough for us, my sister had organised a bit of a surprise. Arriving into Wellington to a howling southerly was nothing new, but it was supposed to be summer! The weather in the Wairarapa wasn’t any better and we thought we were in for a couple of wet days, the first thing we did was light the wood burner in the tent to warms things up. It pretty much rained all night but by the morning it had cleared and the sun came out. Below are a few photos of the ‘glamping’ and our visit to Cape Palliser and here is a link to the glamping website.

Inside the main tent, note the wood burner.
Even the local sheep weren’t enjoying the cooler weather.
Bacon butties for lunch! Showering with a view!

Couldn’t resist photographing some of the local Architecture.
Fun with puddles!
