Canvas Safari Tent

A roomy canvas tent on a raised timber deck, with a proper queen bed and a shaded verandah looking into the treeline.

The Canvas Safari Tent is where most guests start, and many come back to. It is a wide bell-style canvas tent pitched on a raised hardwood deck, so you are off the ground and away from the damp even after an afternoon shower. Inside there is a real queen bed with cotton linen, a standing fan, soft lantern lighting and enough floor space to actually move around — not a sleeping bag and a torch.

We keep it simple on purpose. The verandah holds two timber chairs and a small table where most people end up reading, having their morning kopi, or just watching the canopy. The shared bathroom block is a ninety-second walk on a lit boardwalk, with hot showers and proper plumbing. If you have never glamped before and are quietly worried it will be uncomfortable, this is the tent that changes your mind.

It is our most-booked stay for a reason: it is forgiving. It handles a rainy night, a curious kid, a couple who wanted a weekend off their phones. Two nights is the sweet spot — one to arrive and slow down, one to actually enjoy it before the ferry home.

Best for

First-time glampers and couples who want comfort without roughing it. Year-round; loveliest on dry-season evenings (Feb–Apr).
