2 nights at Peppermint Flat Glamping
Peppermint falt glamping , where do I start what a spot 15/10 !! We stayed in the platypus lair , to the amazing tent set up which is like a small house , one of if not the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in , the amenities was superb , love love love ..
Oh wait there , can't leave without saying I have ticked another ozzy jewl of my animal bucket list , just made my year , both nights we cooked up a storm , and sat down beside the river and had an outstanding moment veiwing your family of platypus whist having dinner, between the platypus, water dragons and turtles we were truly spoilt , and not to mention sum beefy owl on the first night , that we couldnt see but definitely knew they were present ... thanks again for allowing people to come enjoy your true peice of paradise. And can't wait to come back as we only scratched the surface on the stunning walks in the erea ..
I can't recommend this place enough , all boxes ticked .....

Stunning location and close to world class wilderness and natural beauty. The Shearing Shed has everything you could ever need, very cosy.
Louise was very welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful. She is very knowledgable about local history, and natural history also, and the shed is replete with printed information and maps.

We loved our stay at Platypus Tent, Peppermint Flats.
The property was private, peaceful and beautiful.
We loved exploring the property and watching the Platypus in the creek.
The glamping tent was big enough for the three of us and was well equipped.
The facilities were clean and the shower was beautifully hot.
We would definitely stay again, given the opportunity.
