The word we hear the most when someone first steps into our Canvas Cottages is “WOW” and that’s for good reason.
Each beautiful and romantic Canvas Cottage is like no other glamping experience you have seen before. Features include hardwood floors, wooden furniture, a wood burning stove, cooking facilities, full length mirror, en-suite bathroom and much more.
Your king size bed with a high-quality mattress and luxurious soft pillows will be made up for you. The wood burning stove provides more than enough heat to keep you warm, but the added luxury of a hot water bottle will help take away the chill, even on the coldest of nights.
Stepping into your very own private en-suite bathroom is an experience like no other – features include hardwood flooring, solar lighting, instant hot water shower, hot and cold running water, modern eco-friendly toilet, mirror, and a towel rail. On your arrival you will find luxurious fluffy white bath and hand towels and plenty of biodegradable toiletries for you to use, including soap, shampoo, body wash and conditioner.
Outside on your large private wooden deck are a gas powered BBQ and patio heater, and a bistro dining set with comfy chairs for eating, relaxing and taking in the beautiful surroundings.
What exactly is glamping?
Glamping is where nature meets modern luxury. It’s a way to experience the untamed and completely unique parts of the world — with having all creature comforts.
The way we travel has changed. We no longer want a generic, one-size-fits-all vacation. We want to explore on our terms and experience in local culture, and we no longer just want to simply view nature — we want to live in it. A fusion of glamour and camping, glamping is a way to authentically experience the most awe-inspiring places around the world.
It’s much more than a nice tent. The glamping movement is growing. Across the globe, you’ll find incredible destinations, each offering their own unique advantages. You can wake up in a yurt on a mountaintop. Reside in the forest canopy in a treehouse. Take in the panoramic views in an eco-lodge. And that’s just to name a few. Explore the many types of glamping experiences.
