Amazing location and wonderful setup. So peaceful at night listening to the waves while sitting around the camp fire. Magic.

First time glamping experience and enjoyed it. Close to Bay of Fires. For other first time glampers, make sure that you have all your supplies because nearest grocery and petrol store closes at 7 pm.

Lovely little spot with a short walk to the beach, plenty of nature to admire on a walk or from the site, and easy check in. On top of that, super great location to drive to the various tourist spots within a 30min drive

The feeling of relax straight away, a beautiful glamping tent, arriving and sitting on the back deck with a wine and couldn’t believe the amount of wildlife it was fabulous. We were in tent 4.
Definitely recommend.

Disliked: Amenities
Ads were somewhat deceptive - they showed tents with walk-through doors, but in reality you had to unzip 4 zippers and crawl or bend fully at the waist to enter or leave. The zipper part is significant, as the tent platforms are so close to each other to step from one to the next - you can hear your neighbor's TV, conversations and more importantly, at midnight and 1:00 am when the people in the next tent have to head out to the bathrooms. The tents themselves were decent enough if they had been spaced out more, but we felt as if we significantly overpaid for what was provided.

It was lovely, after 2 1/2 weeks of travelling to have a bigger area to sleep in but i think this is reflected in the price. Would definitely do again.

Very very clean everywhere! Very nice tent. Short walk to the beach through nature. Just very cold at night - but there were heating blankets in bed as well as a heater (which was way too noisy to put on over night unfortunately). We enjoyed our stay of 2 nights a lot :)

This was a new experience for us which was very enjoyable. Only problem for us was the couch was very low and the bed was low. Fine for younger and more agile people. A very nice change though

We booked a glamping tent for family at Scamander Sanctuary Holiday Park, which was the great experience to enjoy camping environment for the first time with all amenities provided during the stay except for hair dryer. However, the friendly and helpful holiday park management team gave us a spare one to use during our stay. I would recommend other customers to bring your own hair dryer if you really need to use it. Other than that everything is in high quality and the holiday park locates close to beach and cafes; only short drive to St. Helens (gateway to the Bay of Fires).

I really enjoyed my stay at the Scamander Sanctuary Park. The directions for getting there are clear and easy to follow and the grounds are meticulously maintained and well organized. My tent site was surrounded by pretty flowering vegetation and was private. The tent was spacious, nicely decorated and had everything one could need including a small fridge, microwave, coffee maker, kettle etc. The bed was very comfortable. The tents are set up on a spacious deck with nice wood deck chairs and a great wood burning stove. A short, lovely walk takes you to the beautiful Scamander beach and at night I fell asleep to the sound of the surf. This staff and owner were quick to respond to any questions and went out of their way to be helpful when I had car trouble. The location was perfect for exploring the region including the spectacular Bay of Fires and after long days of hiking, biking and swimming it was easy and felt great returning to the site. If you are glamping or camping I can't recommend this place highly enough. It is great!

Nestled in amongst carefully tended native gardens, with the twittering of native birds (blue wren sightings were common), our spacious bell tent with decking, outdoor sink & wood stove was fabulously well appointed. The sanctuary has direct access to the beautiful ocean beach & is a 2 minute drive to cafes etc. The pillows & mattress were soft, there were cushions & rugs, a coffee pod machine, small fridge, a little table & chairs to eat off or play board games in our case. The amenities block is very close to the tents & clean & modern.
