How Wainui Seaside Glamping began…

Our journey began with taking a drive down a road off the beaten track and now we’re living the dream. We were drawn to this area by its rich history, warm-hearted people, and that unmistakable feeling of being “home”. Aleisha’s cultural and family history connects her to the East Coast Bays, particularly Tokomaru Bay (known for its 1200ft wharf) and Gisborne where Wyllie Cottage remains

A little about us…

Besides the joy of glamping, Aleisha is embracing her love for book writing and creative development, while Tony is a certified Radical Remission Coach, Optometrist, and research scientist with a passion for helping people with cancer through coaching and workshops with Wailnui Wellness.

OHOPE BEACH, WHAKATANE

A guide when traveling to Wainui Seaside Glamping

Ohope Beach is a picturesque destination located on the eastern coast of New Zealand’s North Island, just over the hill from Whakatane in the heart of the Bay of Plenty.

As one of the country’s most beloved beaches, Ohope Beach offers a wide array of attractions and activities that make it a popular destination.

With its golden sands and pristine waters, it’s a haven for beach enthusiasts.

Here’s a breakdown of its proximity to several major cities and towns in the north island, along with a glimpse into the journeys you can expect:

 

1. Rotorua: Ohope Beach is approximately 94 kilometers from Rotorua. The journey from Rotorua to Ohope and takes approximately 1.25 hours, depending on traffic. As you travel, you’ll pass through scenic lake settlements, including lush forests and rolling hills. It’s a scenic trip worth making if you haven’t already!

2. Tauranga: Ohope Beach is approximately 96 kilometers from Tauranga and takes approximately 1.25  hours, depending on traffic. Papamoa is closer taking a little less time to travel. The journey takes you alongside farmland and agriculture and brings you to the east coast following the train line as you get closer to Whakatane. A lovely drive and a popular route choice for those coming from Auckland.

3. Hawke’s Bay: Ohope Beach is situated approximately 315 kilometers and takes approximately 4 hours depending on traffic. Along the way, we recommend stopping for a rest break in either Taupo or Rotorua to enjoy a meal and a chance to stretch your legs. If you’re bringing your dog, both places allow the opportunity to walk your dog. Lake Taupo has extensive walks around the lake and Rotorua Redwoods is highly recommended for a walk amongst the trees in the heat of the day during the summer period.

4. Auckland: Ohope Beach is approximately 318 kilometers and takes approximately 4 hours depending on traffic. The route offers diverse landscapes, including rolling farmlands and coastal views.

We look forward to seeing you soon and wish you all safe travels.

Welcome to Paradise

7 REASONS

Why Glamping in NZ should be on your bucket list:

correction - Wainui Seaside Glamping

POWER IS AVAILABLE...

Most glamping locations in NZ offer either an on-grid power source, solar, or a generator. So you can charge up your phone, store food in a fridge or freezer, and turn the lights on at night so you can find your toothbrush or book to read.

A GOOD NIGHTS REST...

A good nights rest in a comfortable bed made with fresh, crisp and clean cotton linen. No more having to pump up an airbed or sleeping on stretchers. Bedding comforts to keep you comfortable in summer and warm in winter. Plump cushions, plentiful bedding, with crisp, clean quality linens. Ensuring guests a good nights rest.

Peacefulness and tranquility are what guests love and something they crave to have in their busy and often chaotic lives. They’re looking to escape off grid, get away from the noise, the pressures of work and family life. It’s a chance for guests to reconnect with nature, refresh and unwind. Here at Wainui Seaside Glamping guests often comment how much they love the peacefulness, the sound of birds and the sea, the views, and just having had the chance to be at peace.

No more plastic plates, sharing utensils, or washing up in the bucket. When you’re Glamping you can expect many of the comforts of home. Barnie has a kitchen with a full-sized fridge and gas oven with a hob. All the pots, crockery and utensils you’ll need for cooking are provided along with some pantry basics including salt, pepper, cooking oil, coffee, tea and milk. Our Glamping Tent has a separate enclosed kitchen with bay window offering stunning views of Ohiwa Harbour and Ohope spit.

BATHROOM CONVENIENCES...

This is a key difference between camping and Glamping. Glamping offers you the chance to have an outdoor bath or shower with hot running water, an inside toilet, be it compost, or other, that is both clean and functional. So you’re not having to bring your own paper, dig a hole, or use shared facilities. Both our Glamping Tent and Barnie have a beautiful and private outdoor bath with hot running water available to soak in under the stars. They also have an enclosed shower and toilet room with fresh white toweling meaning you don’t need to bring towels and have to worry about taking them home to clean. Another good reason to go Glamping.

HEATING...

This is essential if you’re Glamping in winter. Choose somewhere with good heating and supplies to ensure you’re warm throughout your stay. Both our Glamping Tent and Barnie have an indoor fireplace available during the winter periods to keep you warm.

NO SETTING UP OR PACKING DOWN...
