A touch of luxury amidst nature.
Our beautifully styled Glamping Tent is made for those who want to stay close to nature - without giving up comfort, privacy, or ease.
Tucked away in its own peaceful corner of Marion Bay, this spacious canvas retreat includes a private bathroom with hot water, a deck for slow mornings and starlit nights, and a plush bed dressed in soft linen.
With coastal-inspired details and the soothing soundtrack of waves in the distance, everything’s ready for you - no setup, no stress, just pure serenity.
bayside's own song
Every stay has its own rhythm - and now, Bayside Glamping has its own song.
Local artist Sarah Johnson, known as J J Arv, approached us with the idea of creating a track that captured the feeling of a holiday here. The result? Take Me There - a song that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Bayside Glamping.
Released alongside the launch of The Sanctuary, the track is now available on Spotify and Apple Music. Vocals by Caleb Raymond, with production by Liam Smith.
