This region of New South Wales is a huge personal favourite!  Many assume to head north for the coast, but heading south is entirely different and much less developed.  It not only offers an opportunity to combine this unique tented camp experience with some of the world's best white sand beaches and marine life, but also to explore national parks and travel inland to the small lovely rural towns of Berry and Kangaroo Valley.  FACILITIES Style Luxury Tented Camp Accommodation Placed thoughtfully amongst the soaring eucalypts and intriguing paperbarks, the twelve safari style tents are built above the ground for your privacy and comfort and feature wrap around verandah, hardwood flooring, full insect screening and solar powered lighting.  All accommodation includes your own outdoor private en-suite, perfect for birdwatching while you unwind under a steaming hot shower, but for a camping experience like no other, spoil yourself in one of our four deluxe tents with free standing bath-with-a-view.
