"Rated in the world's top 14 glamping sites" - TripAdvisor. Gorgeous glamping with large pond-side sleeping cabin and Ruby, our lovingly restored retro caravan - sleeping 4-5 all up. Also, quirky cottage nestled in a glade beside a pond on a 7 acre farmlet and themed around indulgence and romance. The entire 1/4 acre private site is exclusively yours. Luxuriate in the outdoor bath, explore the organic orchards and fields; admire the whimsical artwork; recline beside the pond; feed the tame sheep; cruise on our cycles on the Great Taste Trail to local wineries, artisans, beaches. Wander our open spaces, enjoying the birdlife and native trees. Grab a lemon from the organic orchard for your G&T or enjoy a delicious grapefruit for breakfast. Kissing Gate has a luxury glass shower, full kitchen ....and of course beautifully appointed Pearl and Ruby. Pearl is themed in 1960s café/milk-bar style; Ruby exudes Parisian boudoir luxuriance. Kissing Gate is set in cycling heaven amongst quiet country roads winding through olive groves and vineyards. Catch the cycle ferry to Rabbit Island. Ride to Mapua seaside village with its cafes, artisans, craft brewery, live music, and stunning inlet, and take our maps for exploring. Nelson and Abel Tasman National Park are 30 minutes away.

Environment and facilities
Kissing Gate is like no other holiday accommodation. It celebrates outdoor living yet with a large dollop of luxury and whimsy. Drawing on the great camping outdoors, this feels like your own private Eden. Sip bubbly in the bath, contemplate the stars, toast marshmallows over the open fire, indulge with the 2-person shower, relax in the Settlers Cottage lounge - or chose to hang out in the new rustic pondside cabin. We have an organic hobby orchard – grab a lemon for your G&T on the deck before dinner, or cut open a delicious grapefruit for your breakfast. Enjoy our wide open spaces with ample room to explore.
To keep you toasty warm in winter, there are electric blankets, fire, gas and electric heaters - and cuddle!
Kissing Gate is totally private yet is just 10 mins cycle to the famous Mapua seaside village. Bikes for the Great Taste Trail are a great way to explore the wineries, beaches, country ambience.
