"Staying here is an incredible experience - there's something about it that’s regenerating, great for the soul" - Guest Review
Happy Mother's Day 💓 We feel lucky to host families making precious memories 🤗
Solo vacations are an act of self-appreciation 🙏🏼 A time to rest and a time reflect ✍️
The glow of Gisborne is something we never take for granted 🌞 This stretch of coastline has certainly got to be one of our favourites.
Picture yourself 🙌 Totally relaxed, without a care in the world, right here 😌
"Howdy" from the neighbours 👋 There's something about horses grazing by the beach that is extra magic ✨
Reminiscing on our last café weekend 🌞
The Autumn swells are upon us 🏄‍♀️ This is the perfect time to plan a Surfaction in Gisborne 😉
End of Season Vibes 🌞 These three legends have conquered another summer at Tatapouri and we couldn't feel luckier to have them ❤️ You go girls.
Once upon a time, our Glamping Tents made up our entire beachfront accomodation. Guests came from far and wide to experience their unique offering 🙌 Today we have two that remain, still just as charming to stay in over the summer season. 📸 Kayla Drinkwater ⛺️ @bluebohemiantents
