One of New Zealand's quirkiest 'glamping' operations – featuring a Mongolian yurt-style tent and a fully renovated shipping container with outdoor 'baths under the stars' – is for sale.
Birdsnest holiday home in Northland is a commercial accommodation venue set on 13.88ha of bush-clad rolling countryside at Donnellys Crossing just north of Dargaville.
The business features a standard B & B style accommodation offering of two bedrooms serviced by their own bathroom, kitchenette and lounge area as part of what was once a colonial farm homestead.

However, Birdsnest's points of difference are its eco-themed accommodation and guest amenities nestled amid stands of native bush. The first of Birdsnest's left-field glamping facilities is a lotus bell shaped tent with an adjacent bathroom housed in a rustic wooden-framed garden shed, and across the decking from a separate outdoor kitchen.
