"Valley Views Glamping melds high-end private retreat and communal camping touches with its five roomy geodesic dome tents and cabin. All have private decks, king beds, and vast Waitaki Valley and mountain views, and each sleeps up to four, making Valley Views a good family-friendly option. Shared kitchen and barbecue facilities encourage guest mingling, and common bathrooms feature flush toilets and private shower stalls (domes do have camping toilets for middle-of-the-night situations). Two pairs of outdoor bathtubs up the glam factor, each tucked in the forest with rustic privacy walls and bucolic farm views. In 2021, owners Patrick and Amber Tyrrell plan to add an events dome for 50-person glamping weddings and retreats." - Tracy Ziemer
