Christmas spent Glamping
We had a great stay in the Sunset Tent during Christmas. Although there was no air-conditioning, fortunately we had a cool breeze blowing through & by opening the windows it flows through - also has a fan if needed. Toilet & shower was just a small walk away.
Lots of wildlife to enjoy - we seen & heard Koalas, possums, magpies & lorikeets were all very friendly.
Sunset views were very spectacular.
Great dining options nearby as well.

The word that comes to mind is magical. Amazing experience staying in the glamping tent. The birds, the stars, the view.. it was just magical! There are 2 resident koalas but we were not sble to find them. Really great food at Cheeky Dog right down the street as well.

When I was looking at the property the website said that the toilet had been removed from the Glamping tents but the other bathroom components were still there. When we checked in the shower and basin had been removed. Even though we were close to the amenities this isn’t what was advertised. The website needs to be updated to remove any false information .

Excellent stay
We stayed in a Glam tent and it was great. The view of the water was amazing and it has everything we needed. There are no toilets in the tent but the facilities were very close and some of the cleanest I've ever used. Just remember it is a tent and there are bugs as to be expected. The grounds were beautifully kept and the staff was extremely friendly.
