Rustic glamping, everything you need provided, Even carpets under the very comfortable warm beds which made the tent very cosy. Lovely hot outside shower. Firepit is great.

Toilet a bit far (also down steps) in wet or cold weather for oldies who need to visit it at night.

Fantastic venue, wonderful hosts, just what the doc ordered.

The woodcutters bush camp at the old trading post was just what I needed. Time spent under the trees with the sounds of birds all around was so rejuvenating. Everything you need is there, & if you need anything else you can ask the owners. I decided to make a fire. I asked about wood. Next thing I knew, there was a crate of wood & some firefighters by the camp fire! The bed was comfy, the dogs friendly, the outdoor bathroom was quaint. Also, when I arrived there I was able to buy delicious bread made that morning by Rene. She even had a litre of non-dairy milk for me to buy, after the spar in Wilderness disappointed!

I enjoyed everything!

Hello are there 3 single beds in one tent? We have a 12 year old. Thanks Marcela

Good afternoon We are interested in booking the bush camp this month is this pet friendly for a well behaved cat that walks on a leash, we dont have anybody to look after our furbaby that is why she travels with us and she loves exploring the beach.

Yes we are pet friendly. We have dogs and the property is fenced. Best to keep your cat in the tent unless out on a leash.... it could venture out and disappear. Our dogs aren't used to cats. Kind regards Mike & René
