2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: We spent 2 nights in a safari tent. Arriving on foot, checking in was friendly, quick, easy and informative.(we were advised of a better bus stop to use for our subsequent journeys to and from the site) The tent was lovely, with all the kitchen equipment we could need, hot and cold water supply, an electric fab we which we used the first evening and a heater which we made very grateful use of the second!, comfortable beds, a great dining area and a good outdoor space. The toilet and washroom facilities were very clean and well looked after. The playground and wilding area were lovely and we spotted various wildlife on an evening wander. All in all, really lovely site and great experience!

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Unexpectedly impressive! Despite reading all the reviews, I wasn’t expecting this to be as good as it was. We spent 3 nights in a Safari tent. Two bedroom areas, a living room, a kitchen with elec hobs and fridge and microwave. It was basically a small house with canvas walls. The sofa and chairs on the veranda were nice for an early evening beer before dinner. Facilities were good, small basket of cookies and milk to go with a cup of tea on table, toilets, showers and laundry room all clean and serviceable. I would give it too marks.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike, except there was no nearby shop for us as we were on bikes. That’s not the campsite’ s fault - even locals in the village complained they had to drive to get basic provisions. Fortunately we had enough food with us for the first evening and we cycled to shops next day.

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Een luxe tent met heerlijke bedden. Prima keukentje met koelkast en 4 pits kookplaat. Fijne veranda met 3 makkelijke zitplaatsen. Prima schoon toiletgebouw. De receptie heeft zelfs de meest noodzakelijke spullen als brood en melk. Heel veel informatie over de bezienswaardigheden op het hele eiland.

Disliked: De WiFi deed het niet.

Local attractions

The long and sandy beaches around Sandown (10 minutes' drive) and the Isle of Wight's gorgeous east coast are very close indeed – head here for amusements on the pier, family-friendly bathing beaches, fossil hunting and sipping drinks in seafront cafés. Meanwhile, on the west coast, surfers have good prospects for catching the island’s bigger waves – and there are a couple of surf schools between Freshwater and Brook Bay (both 30 minutes) where newbies can master the basics. For further contrast, try a trip to the ornate Victorian town of Ventnor (a quarter of an hour away to the south) where there are botanic gardens and elegant villas to admire. This part of the coast is also home to the ever-popular Blackgang Chine amusement park (20 minutes) and splendid St Catherine's Lighthouse (25 minutes). The site is a short drive from inland attractions too, including the Garlic Farm (five minutes), where you can take farm tours, taste the wares or pick up a range of tasty sauces that are sure to add a kick to your cooking. Also away from the coast is the peaceful Yar River Trail, a clearly signposted walking and cycling route that passes about a mile and a half north of the site entrance.
