We had a wonderfully relaxing time at Drift off Grid eco glamping. It was mid winter with icy nights and we were warm and snug in the tent. There was plenty wood for us to make a fire in the Roaring Meg. The bathroom had underfloor heating which added to the cozy experience. Great place for a winter breakaway!

Our second time staying at Drift Off Grid. What a magical place!! Both tents are amazing in their own unique ways and every detail is thought of and presented beautifully. A luxurious place to unwind in peace and quiet with incredible views from the moment you step in the door. The kind of place you don't want to leave...and we will definitely be back again! Thank you Jana & Drew 😊

Our 5 night stay at Drift Off Grid exceeded our expectations! The fact that there are only two tents makes for great privacy. Drew and Jana have thought of every detail and were very accommodating to all of our needs. The expansive views of Golden Bay, the luxury of the tent, the granola, yogurt and eggs from their happy chickens, the nearby hikes, the Bell birds, the Weka foraging around the tent all made for a glorious few days in the Golden Bay Area! You won’t be disappointed if you love the outdoors and have an adventurous spirit!

I booked this place for three nights with high expectations based on reviews, but I was deeply disappointed. The only cooking device on site was an outdoor grill, but it malfunctioned, so we wasted three hours trying to check its functionality. Ultimately, the wind was so strong that cooking outside became impossible, so we had to forgo grilling steak and go get takeout. Furthermore, the blankets and pillows reeked of sweat and grease, and the sink drained poorly. The lack of pre-checked functionality, despite the price, was a major drawback. The most difficult part was the intense winds that hit us all night, causing the entire tent to shake as the outside walls banged against other plastic sheets attached to the tent. The noise was so loud that it was nearly impossible to sleep. We ultimately forfeited our three-night stay and evacuated the next morning. We hadn't experienced such a horrific experience sleeping in an outdoor tent, but the owner blamed the wind and made us responsible for all damages. If such strong winds make sleeping difficult, we shouldn't be using this place as a place to stay, even during such times.
