1. Lovely bell tent with a shared hot tub (from USD 169)

Located in Armstrong Creek between the townships of Dayboro and Samford is this quaint 5-meter (16.40-foot) bell tent. It is accessible through all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles, and it is also only a short walk away from the parking area for two-wheel drive vehicles.

Eco travelers especially will love staying here as the site uses solar lights both outside and inside the tent. These offer a gentle light that allows you to absorb the natural night light.

You will have access to a sink with running water, plenty of outdoor seating where you can enjoy meals, and a gas barbeque grill for fun cookouts. The host also provides other amenities such as firewood and crockery to help you prepare food. Inside, the tent has a queen bed fit for two. Do note that only adults can stay here.
