Things to Do

THINGS TO DO

Glamping at Mangaone Cliffs Lodge is all about nature! Kick back and relax on the generous deck and enjoy the sun rising and setting. The outdoor twin baths, beanbags, Kubb, cards, board games, and petanque are all available to enjoy during your stay.

Book a guided hunting experience for all skill levels, with expert guides ensuring a safe and successful adventure. It’s a great way to connect with the land and wildlife. See Rates & Extras for details.

Wander at your own pace on a self-guided farm walk, taking in the beauty of Hawke’s Bay’s rolling hills, hidden gorges, and untouched landscapes. The walk is around 4-6 km and typically takes half a day. A good level of fitness is recommended. Why not take a tasty pre-prepared picnic to enjoy along the way?

When you're ready to explore, you're just 20 minutes from Napier’s iconic Art Deco Tours, Waimarama Beach, Te Mata Peak, and world-renowned wineries like Church Road and Mission Estate.

The Puketapu Pub has great food and great prices. If you feel like working off your meal afterwards, walk or bike the Puketapu Track - a 17 km loop from the pub to Taradale and back along the river.

Your Hosts

YOUR HOSTS

Your hosts at Mangaone Cliffs Lodge are Binks and Dave McCurdy, and their three children, Oscar, Finn and Maddie.

Dave and Binks moved to the Hawke's Bay over ten years ago from the South Island to farm the 2500 sheep and beef property. They knew it was the perfect place to create a luxury glamping escape. This is when Mangaone Cliffs “Tent” was born, but it unfortunately had to close following the 2023 flooding caused by Cyclone Gabrielle. Years later, the new and improved escape came about - Mangaone Cliffs "Lodge"!

The McCurdy family loves the outdoors and is extremely proud of the beautiful, luxurious glamping site they have created. They look forward to sharing it with you and meeting new people in the process!
