1. Quirky pet-friendly tent (from USD 84)
Located in a small town by the beach, Glamping in the Grove brings guests to a whole new level of a glamping experience. Once checked in, guests are given a key code that would provide them access to different areas of the house, including the spa, kitchen, bathroom, and living room. Free WiFi and parking access are also made available during your entire stay. Pets are also welcome to stay at an additional cost of $25.
Various day-to-day endeavors around the area are also made available for everyone. Climbing tree houses, enjoying a simple meal of fish and chips, and even sharing a double hammock while watching the sunset, are just some of the many activities being offered. Guests may also take push bikes around town for a tour, or grab a chance to spot the Land Down Under’s beloved wallabies in the nature reserve. Inflatable stand-up paddle boards starting from $50 are also available for rent while visiting the nearby beach for a quick dip.
On top of that, Glamping in the Grove encourages guests to merely sit back and revel in this serene environment. Truly a memorable experience for both tourists and locals alike.
