Worst Choice
On the website I thought it was a Tee Pee in a farm paddock. But there are multiple accommodations on the farm so not as private as I thought! The Tee Pee was old & mouldy. The single beds were not suitable for adults. Too short. Even one bed base had mould on it. I lifted up my pillow to find a spider underneath. While styled with cowboy Indian theme it could of been done so much better. Rather tacky & tired. The bathroom was our life saver. It was lovely and only a few meters from the Tee Pee. This was not a restful stay. The Rooster crowed for 55minutes starting at 5.35am.
My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this incredible teepee. You couldn't have a better experience than this. The natural surroundings add to the beauty. I will definitely be back to stay here. We love it!!!!

So much fun staying here and the teepee was wacky!
So much fun staying here and the teepee was wacky! Very much set up as a camping environment which was well supplied. Bathroom, linen and towels were immaculate.
