Guest Reviews
- Jarema (9/5): Great - Friendly great location and quiet WiFi no existent very disappointed
- Somu (5/5): -
- Rekha (9/5): Very nice - Nice clean
- boo2428 (10/5): Elegance in Nature! - Everything! This is a touch of elegance in a beautiful nature setting. So close to cafes, some of the most stunning beaches and a short drive to the Bay of Fires. Was a lovely home base at the end of a long day with the Hot tub and little fire for the chilly evenings. Every little detail was thought out, there was nothing we needed, the Chalet had it's own cooking area and even a pizza oven! The host, Matt was welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. His little slice of paradise provided a separate kitchen and even a laundry close by. What an amazing experience! Definitely a most do while visiting the East Coast of Tasmania. We will definitely be back 😍 Thanks Matt! Absolutely nothing!
- Sarah (10/5): Magnificent loved our stay, a beautiful spot where everything thought off - Everything
- Thapa (10/5): It was wonderful outing for one night stay. - Natural location Nothing
- Marcelle (10/5): -
- Richard (10/5): Will stay there again - Location to beach N/A
- Tracey (10/5): Was a nice relaxing night away - Everything Nothing
- Peter (8/5): - The whole place was quiet, each site has a good distance between them so your not on top of your neighbor, its got a good layout and the facilities are great, the whole area is great.
- Jodie (9/5): Fabulous coastal glamping experience. Everything was thoughtfully set out. Loved the outdoor hot tub and pizza oven. Suc - Loved the well thought out space, privacy, comfortable bed and access to beach In the event of rain - you would get wet heading to the amenities block but a small price to pay.
- Audrey May (10/5): -
- Shirley (9/5): Safari Tent Life - Way cosier and more comfortable than a tent has any right to be. The open fire outside was the highlight; we spent the whole evening around it and didn't want to leave. Feels properly outdoorsy without sacrificing comfort. Brilliant experience.
- Erica (8/5): -
- Michaela Archer (10/5): Amazing hospitality, will stay again and be more prepared for spiders :) - We stayed in the Glamping "Woody Junior" tent Met our expectations and more ! Friendly staff was more then accomidating explaining the hot tub process and provided extra wood for those cold nights. They thought of everything, from comfortable queen bed , hot tub for 2 , a swinging chair to watch the rain (we had plenty for our stay) , well sheltered , plenty of seats , kitchenette outside that had an electric grill and hot plate. Pots and pan , utensils, washing up equipment. You name it.. they had it Soft towels , clean bathroom , basic but when in nature its all you need. Great hot water , Barely had to wait for it to warm up. Hot tub took about 4-5 hrs to warm up. By next day we was adding cold water in so we didnt boil. The fire pit did well to heat it up and was nice and relaxing Heat pump inside the tent to keep you nice and toasty at night , kettle , coffee maker , fridge and dinner set. First time staying on the east coast , but we both said we might make it a regular occurrence. Not far from St Helens for a nice lunch or dinner. But far enough to enjoy nature and peace and quite , right near the beach. After running the rat race of working non stop , we both came home refreshed and relaxed. Will definitely be staying again - thank you so much team for your amazing hospitality Nothing everything was great but will share a funny moment / warning If your afraid of wild life or spiders , be sure to keep eye out. They had the biggest spiders I've ever seen ! One came running towards me on the bed , whilst the other guarded the kitchenette haha Never have i moved so fast , I'm use to spiders being the size of a 20c piece , not size of an orange haha but out of the hosts control when your in nature.. Had a possum come visit for some snacks from our rubbish bag whilst we was in front of the fire pit and an owl watching over us Pillows hard but can just bring your own as itd be impossible to get the right one for everyone. But as noted above it was all great , and a few funny stories to share
- Katerina (8/5): -
- Dion (10/5): -
- Kira (7/5): - The location was convenient, and it felt fairly private. It was clean. We were expecting it to be nicer for the money we paid. Our tent was in a bush and everything was quite worn out. It was not a nice spot to sit outside.
- Cassandra (8/5): -
- Chun Kit (8/5): - 營地很清潔舒適，房間很大，裡面外面都很多設備 沐浴間有很多，不用擔心要排隊 而且沐浴間很清潔 沐浴間只得5分鐘時間，5分鐘後不僅沒有熱水，而是沒有水，如果天氣冷還沒沖乾淨，你要等大概3分鐘後才可重新開啟花灑功能，相信會很冷。 再者，如果你在淋浴間多使用一會兒，淋浴間內的燈會自動熄滅，那你要摸黑再去開那個開關掣。 這個淋浴設施使我找不着頭腦。
- Christina (9/5): - The bell tent was beautiful, the outside fire was great, check in was easy.
- Louis & Shirley Coetzee (10/5): Ambience at its best - Absolutely loved it here. Matt, the owner, was a very nice young man. Had our hot tub ready when we arrived. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was great, clean, and spacious. Gateway to the Bay of fires. Sit by the fire, with a nice glass of wine. Very ambient There was nothing we didn't like
- Michelle (10/5): Loved it! Highly recommended! - The glamping tent was so well positioned we felt like we were in our own private little retreat. The wildlife is right on the edge of the deck and you get to watch the wallabies and possums in the afternoon and wake up to birds singing in the morning! The bed is super comfy, the camp is well set out and everything is good quality and if possible Australian made! Very impressed! Matt, the owner, was amazing! Super helpful and went above and beyond and beyond.
- Reinier (10/5): Perfect - De hottub Niets
- Annie (10/5): Perfect ❤️ - It was clean, peaceful, wallabies off the private deck, lovely staff. Just a fabulous place to stay. Will be back. Nothing
- Jayah (9/5): -
- Meadhbh (10/5): -
- Wenjie (9/5): -
- Leslie (10/5): Perfect, I only wish I had more time there - Fantastic property for the money really comfortable cabins loved it! Heating pad for the bed was great because the night was chilly
- Koren (10/5): -
- D & A (10/5): - We loved our stay. The safari tent had everything we could need. Great kitchen & bathroom. Deck & barbecue was a bonus. Very peaceful glamping experience. Close to beach and cafe.
- Sheree (10/5): -
- Anthony (9/5): A great place to just chill or use as a great central base. - Great location. Very comfortable A little attention to general maintenance wouldn’t hurt
- Szu Han (10/5): -
- Alison (10/5): -
- Ken (7/5): Average and cheerful - Really didn't understand that we had a shared Ensuite - (I have never heard of this before) Everything inside was fine but could have supplied a tray for carrying wash up items to kitchen. Shared ensuite.
- Jeannette (8/5): - As this was our first time glamping it brought back lots of memories of when we went camping. The tent had everything you needed & was well set out. We enjoyed our stay.
- Peter (5/5): Poor value - Our glamour tent was at the park entrance and we heard every car come in which was very noisy on the blue metal our neighbor played loud music until late and a rooster woke us up both mornings at 5am and crowed until 6.30am. Not exactly good value we are staying at 4 different places while in Tasmania (hotels and luxury B&B’s) the glamour tent was $90 per night dearer than the other accomodation As above
- Angela (3/5): Cute safari tent - Location Beach access Very poorly equipped for the price point No internal rubbish bins Outdoor cooking/sink inside was extremely problematic when cooking Body wash/shampoo/conditioner bottles were empty No hair-dryer Microwave but no associated equipment No mixing bowls For 290$ per night Scamander Sanctuary you could do much better. I feel you really need to understand that for your price point you need to fully understand what SELF CONTAINED really means. Perhaps you need to do some research
- Round (10/5): Left totally relaxed and happy with the decision to stay here. - Clean, quiet and great location.
- Acharya (9/5): -
- Leon (9/5): A nice place to stay - Clean nice beach
- Susan and David (9/5): Lovely experience - Great facilities and good spot
- Kimbra (6/5): - Taps had no water.fire alarm missing. Shower water runs away from drain. Had trouble finding light switch
- Stephanie (10/5): -
- Stephen (10/5): Great relaxing time - Great place to stay, very neat and comfy , loved the hot tub, bird life was so good
- Serena (7/5): - Something different, close to beach
- Ralf (9/5): Great stay all around, highly recommend the experience - Well tent and kitchen with everything you could possibly need Tents are a bit dated and some zips are hard to open and close or broken at the seam
- ES (10/5): -
- FLORENT (9/5): - Tout
- ES (10/5): - Friendly staff and clean facilities Nothing not to like!

- Aneke (8/5): - The experience as a whole was lovely Next time I'll book the next size tent up with an ensuite
- Skye (9/5): -
- Bruyere (8/5): Tees bien - Localisation et confort
- Peter (8/5): - The rooster crowing at 5am in the morning
- Corinne (7/5): Relaxed and quiet - Beach Fire pot Some built in clothes lines would be really handy even if it’s some rope hung up to help dry wet sandy clothes.
- Kate (6/5): -
- Anne-maree (10/5): Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Scamander, beautiful place, friendly staff, clean and comfy. - Wonderful service, comfortable rooms and a beautiful place.
- Ingrid (9/5): Het was een heerlijk en leuk verblijf. Zou het zo weer overdoen - De plek van de accomodatie en het animatie gebouw waren heel schoon en zagen er goed uit. De eerste oogopslag is geweldig ga je verder kijken zie je dat er wel eens water problemen zijn geweest. Dat mag de pret niet drukken Soms zou iets meer zon fijn zijn op de plek. En de parasol verplaatsen zou makkelijker mogen
- Giulia (8/5): Esperienza molto positiva 😍 - Posto molto accogliente e fornito Wifi inutilizzabile purtroppo - la linea non regge per più di 10 secondi consecutivi
- Craig (10/5): -
- Ramona (10/5): -
- Kim (10/5): We loved our stay and hope to return to Tasmania in the future. - The welcome, the space, the cleanliness, the facilities, hot tin and proximity to beach, cafe, supermarket and fuel. Highly recommend. Could not fault it
- Mitali (10/5): Lovely glamping experience - One of the best glamping place in Australia. We stayed in couples bell tent and it has a lovely fireplace, the bed and things inside the room are high quality. Common kitchen is well equipped, we cooked two meals and had no issues. The property has a private beach with 5 mins walk.
- Clementi (10/5): -
- Sergey (10/5): -
- sianne (9/5): Lovely place - Really lovely, the tent and the location is very relaxing. Even though you have close neighbours, its like you have the place to yourself. Laterally the only thing we didnt like was the fact that the toilet is in the middle of the tent and isn't enclosed.
- Peterson (10/5): -
- Marta (9/5): Great comfy camping experience - Great camping experience while being comfortable. Private fire pit was great. Facilities were very good, including a fully equipped kitchen. Some tents are more private than others, which are exposed to the main path. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee (coffee pod) but we only had for 1 day and we stayed 2 nights.
- Andrew (10/5): Great location, two minute walk to the beach. Very clean and well laid out facility. Log fire to keep you warm when sitt - Unique experience, everything was catered for. Would definitely return. Probably shared toilets and showers are the only negative which when you think about it, is very insignificant.
- Chadaporn (8/5): -
- Abhishek (10/5): -
- Lee (10/5): Thank you Matt for providing such a great property. We had such a wonderful time and made many beautiful memories here. - We are extremely pleased with this property! It is one of the best glamping accommodation we had ever stayed. The property is immaculate with extremely comfy beds and sofa. The enclosed bunk bed was so cosy and the playhouse underneath was such a treat for kids! The fire place is a huge bonus and we spent every night by the fire. The bbq on the deck was great - prepared many breakfast and dinners during our one week stay. The property is also walking distance to the beach, perfect for a morning stroll for our family. There is a great lake, the Scamander river, which is only a few mins away by car. Matt kindly loaned us his fishing gear and we spent a few afternoons fishing, definitely one of our family’s favourite activity here. Location was great with easy access to St Helens, Bays of Fire, Bicheno, Freycinet and beyond. Everything was great!
- Danielle (10/5): Very Cute & Cosy glamping tent, Matt was super friendly & helpful -
- Teh Kim (10/5): superb!! - Matt the front desk was most helpful!! He saw to it that we have firewood and he was so attentive and gave us fishing tips etc etc . Very satisfired and will stay again in future. nil
- Pei Chun (10/5): - We like everything that have provided and staff is very friendly to answer all the questions that we have. The cleanliness is super and higher than a lot of 5 star hotel. I am highly recommended who’s no experience on camp before and this could be a place for you all to kick start first. Very unique experience. No
- Michelle (10/5): Absolutely loved our Glamping experience 💫 - Comfortable & a new experience. Beautifully set up.
- Peter (10/5): -
- Ann (10/5): Fun experience. Would be great in summer - Something a bit different to a normal holiday stay for us. Was a pretty cool experience. 🥰 Had a couple of possums come to visit. Plenty of bird life 😊 just on the edge of town. Lovely management The aircon wasn’t working so was a bit cool in the morning and evening Needed to cobweb n clean the ceiling
- Chiu (9/5): - 環境非常有特式，安靜舒適。有溫暖戶外火爐，齊全煮食燒烤用具 床舖稍為不適,乘托力不夠，感覺床鋪中間會有U型凹陷
- Ricky (9/5): - Owner was friendly and very accommodating. Heavy dust settled atop of heat pump, bed frame and other flat surfaces, just needs a good once over deep clean.
- Brett (8/5): Comfy glamping experience - loved the location, easy to find, staff provided great help with some questions and it was a comfy stay! N/A
