Escape To A Secluded Luxury Glamping Retreat Perched Above The Golden Bay Coastline


Drift Off Grid offers an exclusive luxury glamping experience situated high above the dramatic coastline of Golden Bay. This eco-sanctuary is designed for those seeking a complete escape from the everyday, surrounded by native bush and the soothing sounds of birdsong. The retreat features thoughtfully crafted interiors, solar-powered amenities, and outdoor baths, providing a perfect blend of refined comfort and natural beauty. It is a sanctuary where guests can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and enjoy the stillness of the wilderness.


The arrival experience is truly unforgettable, as guests are flown in via private helicopter over golden beaches, rugged hills, and turquoise waters. This aerial journey provides a spectacular introduction to the remote beauty of the region before touching down at your private hideaway. The heli-pad on site ensures a seamless transition from the modern world to this peaceful retreat, setting the tone for a stay defined by privacy, luxury, and an intimate connection with the surrounding New Zealand landscape.


Once settled, guests are invited to explore the coastal walking tracks that wind through the native bush or simply relax and enjoy the sweeping ocean views from their accommodation. The retreat is ideal for couples, creatives, and anyone looking for a quiet space for reflection. Whether you are watching the sunset from your deck or soaking in an outdoor bath under the stars, the experience is focused on providing a serene environment where you can enjoy the luxury of time and space.


In the event that weather conditions prevent helicopter travel, a private road transfer is provided to ensure your journey remains stress-free and seamless. This commitment to service ensures that your retreat begins and ends with ease, regardless of the elements. By combining sustainable practices with high-end comfort, Drift Off Grid offers a unique opportunity to experience the raw beauty of Golden Bay without sacrificing the amenities that make a getaway truly special and restorative for the soul.

Our stay at Drift Off Grid was absolutely incredible. The room was beautiful, thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and perfectly set up to relax and unwind. Both owners were onsite and couldn’t have been more welcoming or responsive. They genuinely went out of their way to make sure everything about our stay was easy, relaxing, and special. The electric buggies were such a fun and convenient way to get around the local area and really added to the experience. Everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish. A truly memorable stay, and we’d recommend it without hesitation.

This glamping experience was fantastic! The tent was spacious and beautifully furnished. We enjoyed the breakfast and the fully automatic coffee machine, the heated bathroom and of course the breathtaking view. It was our first accommodation of a 6 week trip and I have never slept as well as I did there. The buggy is a great feature, it's fun to take it to the beach. Jana is a great hostess, friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommendable!

This place was absolutely stunning! Such a hidden gem that everyone should experience if you get the chance to. So much to rave about, from the ease of booking and dealing with Jana, to driving the buggy up the hill (and to the beach), and then walking in the front door to the best off grid tent I have ever been in to some pretty magical views. Location is beautiful, with these tents set up to capture and enjoy every part of the property. All of the big and small touches, high quality furnishings, simplicity and deliciousness of breakfast, and indoor/outdoor flow is so well thought out. The bed is super comfy too, we had the most amazing sleep! We will be back again, thanks so much for having us Jana Xx
