Accommodation

Bush Camping

Depending on the region you’re travelling in, our bush camping tours stay are camping in remote regions and sleeping under the stars in a swag (a rolled Aussie mattress and cover) where there’s often very limited access to toilet and shower facilities. Sleeping bags are required on bush camping tours. You can either bring your own or purchase one from us in advance.

Unpowered Tents

Camping in powered tents is in shared permanent twin-share tents with wooden floors and two elevated timber platforms where you can unroll your swag. This style of accommodation has access to a screened eating area. The toilets and shower facilities are only a short walk away.

Powered Tents

Camping in powered tents is in shared permanent twin-share tents that feature cosy beds, wooden floors, full linen, lighting, power points, a bedside table and fans (in the Top End only). If you’re travelling solo, you’ll be paired with someone of the same gender. Single supplements (your own tent) is available on request only.

Hostel

For tours on the East Coast and the Southern States of Australia, the hostel accommodation caters for 6 to 10-person shared dorm (mixed gender, except for Western Australia) with shared bathroom facilities. Upgrades to private twin/double or single room with shared facilities available on the Taste of Tasmania

Motel Ensuite

Where our tours pass through coastal villages or rural towns on some departures we’re able to provide twin, double or single rooms with private ensuite bathrooms. These bookings won’t be bookable on our website, so you’ll need to contact us to make a request.
