We offer the only bare self-contained camper van parking spot on Takaka Hill, perfect for travelers wanting to slow down and truly experience the area. Choose an available spot and enjoy spending a couple of peaceful days at the top of the hill, rather than just making a flying visit through to Golden Bay.
Guests are welcome to explore 400 acres of private wilderness, wander the valley, and meet our friendly sanctuary farm animals who love a gentle cuddle and a feed. Miniature pony rides for toddlers are also available.

Vehicles must be fully self-contained

Tucked deep within the Hidden Valley, this is a true bare-bones wilderness camping experience set across 400 acres of rugged hills, virgin forest, and mountain streams. The valley is rich in ancient weathered marble, shaped over time, with a fascinating labyrinth of cave systems below, marked by natural cave-ins known as tomo.
What we provide is simple and intentional: wilderness and a fire pit.
What we ask is respect — for the land, the animals, and those who come after you.
Campers are expected to:
Leave the site exactly as they find it
Follow all farm safety guidelines and the New Zealand Outdoor & Country Code - There are no toilets, so bring a spade.
ONLY TENTS - No Motor Veichles Permitted. Mountain Bikes Permitted
No bathroom facilities are available
No rubbish or dumping facilities — take everything away with you
Suitable food scraps may be fed to the farm animals
This experience is for those who seek quiet, raw nature, and simplicity — a place to disconnect, slow down, and truly be in the land.
