Canopy Camping Escapes | Luna

Drift to sleep in a plush queen bed with lovely linens, then wake as sunlight streams through your picture-frame windows, bringing the outside world to your bedside. Warm wooden floors complement brass accents, while a botanical mural adorns the wall concealing your bathroom and kitchen. A winding stream borders the property, creating a peaceful soundtrack to your stay, as well as a picturesque spot for a romantic picnic or a private soiree for two. With pathways meandering through lush greenery, the entire property feels like its own pretty park filled with touches of the wild. Stroll down to the sheltered pavilion for magical BBQ evenings, or indulge in the alfresco shower, freestanding bathtub & barrel sauna.

Moa Stone Estate - Welcome to your idyllic, private retreat away from home

We want you to feel right at home. Cook nourishing meals in your fully-equipped separate kitchen, make an easy fry-up on the BBQ, or simply pour a glass of bubbly and soak in the quartz stone bath, perfectly positioned in a private, covered corner of the deck. Details of repurposed century-old rimu throughout the space give the cabin a charming, rustic feel. When it’s time for sleep, curl up into your orthopaedic, super king bed and wrap yourself in Egyptian cotton bedding. The views won’t disappoint; dusk can give Mount Karioi pink, orange and red sunsets and clear nights a stargazing spectacle. Add in the birdsong and cascading views of the flower farm, and you’ll have a pinch-yourself moment as you look out at your snapshot of colour.
