Glamping Tipees

Deluxe Tipees in a
private habitat reserve

Strong timber and canvas construction has allowed us to build on the edge of natural bushland without major clearings. This gives privacy and a close connection with the peaceful surroundings.

Inside, the tipees are very homely, with a couch that converts to a double bed, carpet, coffee table, CD player, linen rack and a cosy wood fire. There's also a small covered deck outside the front door for you to enjoy a drink or snack regardless of the weather.

Showers and toilets are at the modern campground amenities block less than one minute walk from your tipee. The campground also features our famous outdoor bath for two. This bath is shared among tipee and campground guests and runs on a booking system.

The shared camp kitchen is well equipped for self catering. Most items are supplied including cutlery, crockery, utensils and pots. The gas range has a full sized oven. Here is the place to enjoy the company of an open fire.
