Luxury Tent

No one can really tell you what it is like to step inside one of Starry Nights luxury tents – you must feel it for yourself. Placed amongst native eucalypts and rolling hills, you’ll be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the crystal-clear waters of Petrie Creek tumbling over the rocks.

Each safari tent is positioned so that it cannot be seen by guests in another tent. The tents are big (with over 75 sqm of floor space) and have a raw, earthy feeling and have these stunning features:

• old recycled barn floorboards and an elevated deck
• hand carved stone basins,
• a cozy roaring wood fire,
• pillow top king-sized beds with organic linen,
• a well-stocked kitchenette
• flushing toilets
• a hot steaming rain-head shower and a free-standing bath
• plush gowns

WINTER

Once the giant window flaps are rolled down you can rest assured that you’ll be toasty.

The fireplace can be rotated to face any direction in the tent, whether you want a soak in your steaming hot bath or snuggle in bed.

Luxury bedding is provided including organic linen sheets and natural woolen blankets and rugs.

SUMMER

In summer you’ll be glad to know that all tents are insulated. Being off the ground and with such large windows all around, they capture breezes from the surrounding forest.

There are also 4 ceiling fans for any really warm days.

In fact, summertime is the perfect time for a cool off in one of the swimming holes along Petrie Creek.

THE GUEST LOUNGE

In the warmer months the main doors open for outdoor dining, with floor to ceiling windows to see the colorful birdlife and wood fired oven meals.

In winter a roaring fire in the guest lounge is the perfect place to relax after dinner watching the changing light of the bush as the sun disappears for the evening with a nightcap, perhaps swap a few travelling tales with other guests, or enjoy a game of cards.

Guests are welcome to help themselves to tea or coffee or have an espresso style coffee.

A robust beverage program features organic wines, beers, fruit juice, kombucha and tea or coffee which are thoughtfully sourced throughout Australia.

MADE USING NAUTRAL MATERIALS

Starry Nights safari tents where designed and made by the owners – Shane and Nicole with the help of some friends, family and Shane’s father. From the cutting of the great steel frame to the crafting of the furniture was all done by Shane.

The hosts and owners have made sure that their tents have been made using natural building materials without harsh chemicals.

The joists are kiln dried hardwood (not H3 treated pine). The floor is finished with a natural hard bees’ wax oil (not polyurethane).

The kitchenette is made from solid wood (no plastics).

The very sheets you sleep in, and doonas and rugs are either organic linen or natural wool fiber. They’ve incorporated all the design elements from a building biologist who has studied the tents and property.
