Taking the discomfort out of camping, but bringing nature to your doorstep
Yes, John Snow, winter is coming. It’s bloody cold out there. But getting outside, out in the country, is the perfect opportunity to get that R&R that you so desperately need, and support some of those local businesses doing it especially tough.
So don’t let those cold winds stop you from getting outside in nature this year because we have just whipped up the perfect glamping list for you and your closest people to experience country Victoria in the ideal mix of comfort and experience.
Put on your scarf, woolie gloves and beanie, cos we’re getting out there this winter.

Cosy Tents Glamping – Daylesford
Roughly an hour and a half drive from Geelong, and another entry from the spa capital of Australia on this list, is Cost Tents glamping just out of Daylesford in country Victoria.

You’ll find queen sized beds with goose down quilts, luxury linen, blankets and throws, bath towels, all the cooking equipment you’d possibly need, in tent lights and seating, a wood-fire stove for the cold season and charging points for your phones. The list goes on but we’re sure this’ll be enough to get you down there and love everything Daylesford and Hepburn springs has to give, whilst being as close as you can to its nature and surrounds. You can also order their brekky boxes so the mornings are a breeze. C’mon guys, what’s not to love.
