It was our first glamping and we enjoyed there so much! The tent and campfire pit were awesome. The host Sharelle was so kind and gave us a lot of tips where to visit and what we can do around there. She was so friendly and made sure we were comfortable and relaxing our time there. If was such an amazing experience and we would love to come back in Winter ! Thank you, Sharelle

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 Springview Farm

We had a ball at Jo's hipcamp. It is such a unique and well set up camp, with so many extras provided, it was the easiest camping trip ever. We went with young kids (aged 2 - 8) and there were so many activities for them to do, from tennis, to feeding the animals, to swimming. The kids (and adults) loved the slippery slide, and watching the kids kayak in the evening whilst we sat by the fire pit in the evening was a highlight. I would 100% recommend and we'd love to come back.

We had an amazing 2-night glamping stay at Wayne & Sharelle’s land. They were incredibly welcoming, which made our experience even more special. The wine they provided was a delightful touch, and the firewood they prepared helped create the perfect camping atmosphere. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be visiting again!

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 Springview Farm

Springview farm exceeded our expectations in every single way possible. The photos don’t do this spot justice - the privacy, the comfort, the small touches, it’s everything you could want for a weekend away. Jo went above and beyond to help us with things we were organising for our hens. We LOVED the dam and the slip n slide. The camp kitchen had everything we needed and the glamping setup was unbelievably cosy and comfy. We will be back without a doubt

3 nights at Galea Ranch

Wayne and Sharelle are fantastic hosts, and have made for a special Glamping Camp option which we took to over NYE. The site has a designated fire pit, plus a hammock and the tent is set on a deck with outdoor furniture. Sharelle brought over a platter of goodies on our first night and Wayne kept the wood stack loaded as we’d also opted for this. Both of them gave some great tips for the area. The overall site is great to bring your own kit and camp, with a nicely setup outdoor shower and toilet if needed. There are chickens and other animals on the property and we brought some of their free range eggs which came in very handy. We really needed some nature and to unwind and this was the perfect place to switch off. Would highly recommend checking it out!!

1 night at Galea Ranch

I loved the property. The hosts are really nice and friendly and very accommodating. I paid extra for the fire pit and the wood, but it is well worth it if you’re looking for a oasis in a lush forest setting with a small running stream and fun amenities for kids and dogs run leash free this is the place. There’s two cows and a pony and we even got to feed them.

Everything! Such a beautiful and tranquil spot and the vibes were so nice. Wayne and Sharelle are excellent hosts and made sure we were happy going to bed! They had the fire lit for us on arrival to which we toasted our wine. I will be back for sure - didn’t get enough time to appreciate the animals and this place, stay a few nights!! Comfiest bed ever by the way!
