Weekend Trip to Shacks at Kardella Park

The Kardella Park glamping spot was beautifully set up with absolutely everything you could need. Very comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom setup was so squeaky clean I thought it seemed brand new. The pergola space was a great place for meals and had pretty good shade most of the day for the quite hot weekend we were there. The beach is not far to walk or bike, and is a good spot to hire stand up paddle boards, canoes etc. Damian and Alli were super helpful. Definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Shacks at Kardella Park

We spent the long weekend at glamping tent in the garden area. It was great. I’ve stayed in many different types of accomodation, from non powered site to fancy hotels. I don’t use this word even for the five star hotels that I have stayed before but the bathroom and the toilet onsite are SPOTLESS. Both Damian and Ally are very nice and welcoming. You have to come to stay to experience yourself. The only disappointment is the stay finished too soon and I wish I booked for longer.. 😄 Thank you for the nice weekend! We will be coming back! 🖤

Weekend Trip to Tiny Winch Farm

I can't thank Gayle enough for her hospitality and such a wonderful stay on Tiny Winch Farm. It really felt like we were staying in an extension of her home, there was so much thought and love put into the gypsy van. Gayle was so kind to give us a tour of her farm and let us have a lot of time with the highland cows. A truly relaxing and meditative experience.

Gayle was really lovely and welcoming on arrival. She gave a tour and a rundown of everything. We also got a tour of the farm animals! We went inside with the donkeys and cows which was very fun. I Would recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing wholesome experience 🤗

Damian and Alli were very friendly and helpful during our stay. The bathroom and toilet are very clean and tidy. My little one was so happy seeing ponies, goats and cows. The nearby beach was beautiful and very easy to access. It was a great glamping experience for us. Highly recommended.
