Glamping

Four safari tents on raised decks above the west dam, each with an outdoor bath, a kitchenette and a view of its own.

A proper bed in the bush

Our tents are for people who love the bush but want a hot shower and a good night’s sleep. Each one sits on its own deck on the slope above the west dam, well apart from its neighbours.

Run a bath as the sun comes up, cook dinner on the barbecue and watch the light change over the water. The canvas walls roll up for the breeze, and the air-conditioning takes care of the hot afternoons.

Four tents, each with its own outlook

All four share the same fit-out. What changes is the view, the morning light and how far you are from your neighbours.

Before you come

The questions first-time guests ask most. Still not sure? Call Norman on 0400 978 311.

What is included in a glamping stay?

Linen and towels, a kitchenette with fridge, microwave and kettle, tea and coffee, an outdoor bath, barbecue and air-conditioning. Bring your own food, or add a breakfast pack.

Will my caravan or motorhome fit?

Most likely. Powered sites are drive-through and suit setups up to 14 m including the tow vehicle. Use the rig checker to be sure.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, on caravan and camping sites, on a lead. Pets are not allowed in the glamping tents.

What is the road in like?

Sealed from Mareeba, then about 1.5 km of well-graded gravel on Paglietta Road. Fine for 2WD cars and caravans in all but heavy wet-season rain.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check in from 2pm, check out by 10am. Self check-in is available if you are arriving late.
