As a new kind of camping, glamping offers glamour and comfort with the advantages of seeing Australia’s greatest sites only witnessed when camping.
With glamping, you won’t have to worry about sleeping in uncomfortable sleeping bags or campfire food. Instead, be spoilt with a bed plumped with soft, feather pillows and fine linen followed by decadent three course meals fit for a king.
The only constant is a tent over your head and the amazing views and experience that surrounds you.
Glamping truly is a five star approach to enjoying the great outdoors without sacrificing your comfort. It’s a new kind of camping, suitable for anyone and everyone.
