“An exceptional eco-retreat with space for just 8 adults in enormous hand-built tents facing Christmas Creek. Glamping hideaways have big cosy beds, wood-burning stoves, twin bathtubs & balconies. The lounge boasts a small library & the organic, wood-fired fare is fabulous. A gem in the wilderness. ”

Nightfall Wilderness Camp - Hotel Review

"There’s glamping, and then there’s Nightfall Wilderness Camp: three enormous luxury safari tents surrounded by rainforest, beside a pristine creek in a place that’s called “the Lost World”. This is one of Australia’s ultimate getaways, for which the term eco-retreat is completely accurate."
