We were a little skeptical about staying in a Safari Tent but it was an amazing experience. The ace was exceptionally clean. The electric blanket kept us nice and toasty and we woke to the sound of birds chirping. Overall it was a great experience and my wife said it was the best stay yet.

Book it! You won't be disappointed!!
Impromptu trip away and I absolutely couldn't resist booking this accommodation (we booked the tent). All the thoughtful details, from oil for the BBQ, to the salt & pepper, to the super warm electric blankets on the beds (100% needed), comfort is number 1 priority.
In Winter, be prepared for very cold temps - extra layers, ugg boots etc.
Highly recommend this accom.

Lovely Lorne Bay cottages
Lovely trip to the Eco Cottages. Very comfortable stay.
Great location.
Loved Lorne Bay. Kangaroos, Kookaburras and giant - I mean giant smooth rays from under the pier.
Feed the Cockatoos - but be careful they nip!

Wonderful property in a bushland setting, only an easy 10 minute drive to Lorne. Has everything you need for a relaxing stay, the kids loved the playground, catching a yabbie in the dam and toasting marshmallows in the campfire. We also were able to cook up a bbq and stayed nice a toasty with the electric blankets in our very well equipped tent.

It was a great adventure to stay in a tent during a wind storm in the middle of winter with a temperature dropping to about 3 degrees. Great place in winter for the adventure seeker.
I am going to come back in November to see what the experience is like in warmer weather.

Just fantastic
Fantastic stay at Bimbi Park. Kat was great with tips of places to see in the local area. If you want to see Koalas, they are here. On a short walk through the campground we spotted 7 of them and an Echidna. The cabin was comfortable, clean, spacious and well equipped. The shared toilets and showers were also clean and nice.
A fantastic stay at Bimbi Park. Next time we will stay longer...

Spectacular
Everything about this unique retreat is wonderful . Super comfy beds, spectacular location in the bush especially with a family of kangaroos feeding at sunset right under our tent on the first night . Cockatoos and kookaburra joining us for breakfast though we didn’t feed them of course. Great little bbq for having dinner on the decking. No Wi-Fi on site but not an issue. Short drive into Lorne which is a very attractive small seaside town with numerous places to eat. Great beach too. Would thoroughly recommend
