Glamping tents were spacious and clean. Staff are warm, friendly and helpful. They made us truly welcome to this amazing sanctuary of koalas endangered by human beings like us. Check-in and check-out were straightforward, simple and smooth-sailing. My whole family really enjoyed their stay in the sanctuary, and were even enthusiastic in visiting the Skywalk viewing deck twice or even thrice during our two-night stay. They all agreed that our stay in the sanctuary was relaxing, fun-filled and family-friendly. Thank you all especially Ally, Kim, James and Carmel, and to all the resident koalas and volunteer workers. Keep up the good work!

Great location and glamping tent was amazing within the koala sanctuary. Great to hear about the koala hospital and rehabilitation work and to see the sanctuary residents. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Close to Nelson Bay, 1 mile beach and Shoal Bay.

The most comfortable glamping we have ever done. Spacious, clean and had everything we needed including AC. Loved the night time when you could see so many stars as no light pollution and hear the animals all around. You have a tour of the koala sanctuary before it opens which was superb. The local beach you can walk to was amazing too. Highly recommend the stay. We actually saw a wild koala on the site too.
