The interior of the safari tent is serene and stylish, with every detail considered. The space contains a comfortable super-king-size bed and sofa for lounging. A fully equipped kitchenette is positioned to the side of the spacious deck - right outside. The outdoor bathroom is conveniently located just a short 5-metre walk from the tent via a decked walkway.

Cambridge was voted the New Zealand's largest most beautiful town. Cambridge is a majestic tree-lined town that sits at the heart of New Zealand’s rural heartland.
