Glamping Tents at Woodfordia

Suitable for couples and families, Woodfordia’s glamping tents are in a private bush setting, very close to our beautiful natural swimming lake, Lake Gkula.

They offer a centrally located, lockable retreat space with queen bed and separate bunks, your own bathroom, well equipped kitchenette and a bbq on the deck.

Chill out in your little glamping haven, stroll to the onsite General Store for coffee and a snack and your daily supplies, explore some of Woodfordia’s walking trails, join in the activities and workshops, or just grab your beach towel and head over to Lake Gkula for a dip and lots of lake lounging time.

Bring your bicycles, your walking shoes, your swimsuits and your mask and snorkel, a hammock, comfy clothes and a light jacket or jumper for the evenings. Pack the beach towels and your guitar and make your glamping tent your home for three days or a week or so.

Glamping tent amenities include private bathrooms, full kitchenette, fridge, freezer, glassware and QBunk bed with 2 singles.

Lake Gkula conservsation and recreation habitat

Lake Gkula, a conservation and recreation water body, is chemical free and uses all-natural wetland filtration systems that deliver a safe habitat for wildlife and people alike.

The lake is abundant with fish and plant life with more than 16 species of native fish and crustaceans and over 8,000 plants, including native water lilies. The up-flow wetland filtration system creates habitat for beneficial bacteria and microorganisms, which create healthy stable conditions and keep pathogens at bay.

Powerful pumps and nanobubble technology, maintain a constant water flow and high levels of oxygen, directing it through the wetlands, which purify the water like kidneys.

To maintain the ecology of the lake, all bathers will need to remove any chemicals (i.e. sunscreen, cosmetics, wound treatments) unless they are approved low oil, zinc-based products.
