For those of us who have always wanted to be close to nature but aren’t quite ready to sacrifice all of our modern comforts just yet, glamping is certainly the way to go.
A luxury tent already pitched and waiting for you and dining at a quality restaurant; there’s much to love about this style of accommodation.
Taking it up a notch is Paperbark Camp in Woollamia, offering a king-size bed, solar-powered lighting, sun lounges on an open deck and an open-air bathtub to guests.
Not to mention, gin lovers and nature enthusiasts alike can now pair up their passions and enjoy a stay at the world’s first dedicated The Botanist Gin deluxe plus tent.
Tucked away in dense bushland just outside Huskinsson on NSW’s picturesque South Coast, Paperbark Camp offers the perfect fusion of nature and technology with all that it has to offer.
Set against the sounds of birds fluttering and the odd possum or two wandering around, the campsite offers a much-needed reprieve from bustling city life as you enjoy the stunning outdoors.
For those who can’t completely disconnect from the digital sphere, fret not as there are USB charging points in the deluxe plus tent, along with charging stations at the restaurant and lounge area.
The canvas safari-style tents, built above ground for that added touch of privacy, also have all the hotel amenities you would expect for a luxe camping experience, as well as full insect screening to keep unwanted visitors at bay.
As you unwind under a canopy of eucalyptus and paperbark trees, you can take in your surroundings while enjoying the foraged botanicals of The Botanist Gin, which will be waiting for you at the Botanist Gin deluxe plus safari tent.
Kitted out with a complete cocktail set including a complimentary bottle of The Botanist Gin, dried fruit garnishes and Fever Tree Indian Tonic, you can either make yourself a classic dry martini or a refreshing gin and tonic.
In the tent, you’ll also find The Botanist Gin luxury picnic hamper and rug to use when exploring the grounds, whether you choose to lunch by the lake or simply relax on the verandah.
If you’re itching for a local bushwalk, you’ll also find a note containing more information in each of the packs, with bikes and canoes on offer for guests to use at will.
As you pack for your stay, ditch the baked beans and canned goods as you’ll be treated to a full breakfast and a delicious three-course dinner at Paperbark’s treetop dining room, The Gunyah, (Aboriginal for meeting place).
After enjoying the warmth of the fire in the lounge area, grab your torch and meander back under the stars to snuggle up in your own bush hideaway, lulled into a restful sleep by the sounds of the bush at night.
A morning shower awaits as the tent also includes an open-air private en suite, with a freestanding bath and shower, perfect for bird watching and kangaroo spotting while you relax in the bath.
The plush white gowns and handmade soaps and lotions, made from natural ingredients, also prove to be the perfect setting for a romantic candlelit oasis amongst the gum trees.
This glamping experience curated by The Botanist Gin is situated just two and half hours’ drive south of Sydney in Woollamia, near the pristine clear waters and white sand beaches of Jervis Bay.
The bayside town of Huskisson is only 15 minutes away by bike with a dedicated path along many picturesque white sand beaches – perfect for those who want to stretch their legs and explore even further.
On offer until the end of April, this unique and cosy camp will welcome guests to stay at The Botanist Gin deluxe plus safari tent to experience a luxurious bush retreat that will have you reconnected with nature in the best way possible.
