Bath House Glamping, Yallingup
Yallingup Bath House takes glamping to the next level, with access to a 25m pool, private yoga instructors and an onsite spa.

Two Blind Cows, Osmington
For those wanting to disconnect in style, Two Blind Cows has you covered. The glamping tents sit on the 130 acre Woolrubunning Farm surrounded by bushland and native wildlife. The 4 tents have ample distance between them for visitors’ privacy and seclusion. In addition to the fully equipped kitchenette and ensuite, guests are treated to a sheltered patio and fire pit perfect for a glass of wine and bonfire under the stars.

Wandagar Eco Tent, Pemberton
Designed to disengage from the stresses of modern life, the two Wandagar Eco Tents, Carnaby and Baudin, provides an off-grid getaway that doesn’t compromise on comfort. The accommodation has no Wi-Fi, tv or charging outlets, so you can settle in (amongst the European linen and cashmere throws) and finally read that book you’ve been meaning to get to. For keen hikers and mountain bikers, the eco tent is close by to the Bibbulum and Munda Bibbi tracks and isn’t far from the Southern Forrest.

Luxe Farm Stay, Margaret River
This Busselton glamping spot is perfect if you’re looking for luxury not too far from the top Margaret River attractions. The tent features elegant rustic styling and a bush bath under the giant karri trees. The accommodation also has a barbecue, electric fireplace, portable air-con and strong mobile reception for comfort. The tent is situated on a small-batch vineyard where guests are welcome to taste the cabernet blends and is five minutes from the Margaret River Township. Nearby wineries include the Voyager, Leeuwin and Xanadu estates.

Wild Goose Camping, South West
With a design based on WWI army tents, Wild Goose’s 4m and 5m bell tents sleep up to 3 and 5 people respectively, with a single pole in the middle to hold everything up. Run by husband and wife team Chloe and Clint, unlike the other sites mentioned here, they do not have permanent structures assembled, and set up at sites across Margaret River based on your booking.
You can check in here to see what locations they’ll set up at, but Chloe hinted that the sites at the National Parks are the best ones, with the site at Jarrahdene positioned under Karri trees near an old saw mill for a truly rustic camping experience. Situated along Caves Road, the site at Conto Springs is right by the region’s many caves, including Jewel Cave and Lake Cave. And, if you’re really looking to go off the grid, you’re in luck!

Olio Bello Lakeside Glamping, Cowaramup
Housing sixteen luxurious safari-style bungalows nestled close to a lake, and surrounded by 8000 olive trees, Olio Bello Lakeside Glamping offers both a relaxing and immersive experience. What truly makes Olio Bello different is that guests are able to wander freely through the olive grove, just as you would in Italy. It’s a unique opportunity to learn about organic farming, sample handmade gourmet produce and watch the sunset as it sweeps over the lake.
Each bungalow boasts a private en-suite, kitchenette, spacious viewing deck and bespoke interiors, with every guest receiving a special welcome gift on arrival, plus a gourmet breakfast hamper. With the chillier weather approaching, you’ll be kept cosy with indoor fires at each bungalow.
Minutes from wineries such as Vasse Felix and Cullen Wines, and just a stone’s throw away from pristine beaches at Gracetown, you’ll be well-situated to take advantage of everything the region has to offer. They also have an onsite café and shop where you can tuck into a delicious lunch and stock up on organic beauty products, so you don’t even have to leave the property to enjoy a range of experiences.
Bookings can be made here.
Mile End Glamping, Yelverton
Closer to Dunsborough, Mile End Glamping is the only glampsite in the state to feature their unique dome shape design. Their self-contained studio domes accommodate two people and are elevated off the ground to offer an incredible vantage point out over the valley.
Owner Caroline felt that the dome was the best option for the environment at the property, as they are easy to regulate temperature-wise, and have been architecturally designed using patterns found in nature. The design maximises natural light and creates closeness with the outside world.
Kept intimate with only 2 domes currently onsite, they do book up quickly. If you are lucky enough to get a spot, you can book here.
