Paperbark Camp, New South Wales

The Paperbark camp was set up in 1998 by an Australian couple who fell in love with the African camping style. Focused on creating sustainable eco lodges, the Paperbark camp has 12 canvas tents under the eucalyptus. These tents are made complementary to the landscape with just natural ventilation throughout the property. There’s an exclusive restaurant on the property, called Gunyah (Aboriginal for ‘place of shelter’) famous for its seafood.

Since there’s no fencing to keep wildlife away, you may even find kangaroos passing by the tents. Located near Jervis Bay, you can explore your surroundings via walking trails and take advantage of the complimentary bikes and canoes. Just 2 ½ hours from Sydney, who wouldn’t want to visit this multi-award-winning glamping destination?
