Camp next to our clear water river with water holes where you may have a dip or swim and walk your dog. Dream Weavers Farm is a quiet retreat away from it all where you can get back to nature and relax and unwind.
Sites are for self contained campers priced at $25 per camper for up to 2 people and a pet or child. Extra campers and guests will incur a extra fee thankyou.

We had a wonderful Easter at Tenting Bliss. Amazing location, great hosts who were so helpful and friendly with suggestions of local sites and things to do. Ocean Beach is one of NZ's best, will be back!

Beautiful spot. One of the most stunning creeks I've ever seen. Precarious drive down in a campervan, but ours handled it fine.
Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your special spot Tim!
Highly recommend.

We had this gorgeous gem of a hidden valley all to ourselves! It was glorious. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon of exploring and resting and being outdoors after our long haul flight. Zero bugs, perfect weather, glorious stars. Just the right amenities (running water, composting toilet) without losing any of its rustic nature.

Such a lovely little spot! We booked last minute, it was an easy roll in, roll out situation, Tim came by in the evening to say hi and check in with us. SUPER clean compostable toilets, not too buggy, amazing stargazing. Thanks Tim!

Ich fand den Camping an einem wunderschönen Ort, inmitten der Natur. Ein kleiner Bach fließt am Rande des Campings vorbei. Die Toiletten mit Lavabo sind sehr sauber und nachts brennt sogar Licht auf der Treppe zu Toilette. Es war einer der schönsten Camping, den ich bis jetzt besucht hatte. Er ist abgelegen, darum macht es Spaß, in einer Gruppe dort Zeit zu verbringen.

Exactly what I had in mind camping with a motorhome in New Zealand would be like. As close to the shire as you can get in real life. Surrounded by sheep and amazing little hills. You must go down to the stream and walk through the water. It’s surreal surrounded by the rocks and trees. Beautiful place. Definitely staying here again if we’re in the region.

Beautiful Campsite situated next to the cliffs and an ice cold river. Only around 5 minutes drive up the road to the waitomo experience cave tours and only around 15 minutes into te kuiti for any food or supplies. My partner and I had a phenomenal stay here and the waitomo cave experience was next level 🤙

We loved everything about the camp site, access is great along with clear directions + instructions once on site. We will be returning with friends again for sure… the Location is what everyone needs, this isolation makes this the right place to relax.

When we first turned up to Sommerfeldt Farm, the view took our breath away. It was simply beautiful. It was the calm we needed. We really enjoyed our over night stay and am excited to return.
Judith was excellent and so accommodating, it made the stay easy.

Our second visit here and we love it - Tim has only improved the offering since last time. Now, there is a pair of amazing shiny toilets in the upper camp and through a gate, bridge & steps down to the river gorge, where you can see glowworms at night, or take a swim/dip in the day. Such an amazing camp, probably the best one ever for us. Thanks Tim!
