I’m Tiff, and Bayside Glamping is more than just a business - it’s a love letter to the place I grew up, a creative project that’s grown alongside me, and a chance to share the magic of Marion Bay with guests looking to slow down and reconnect.

I moved to Marion Bay with my family when I was three years old, and I’ve loved this stretch of coast ever since. After years of living in Adelaide and then Sydney’s Northern Beaches, I found myself dreaming of something more grounded - something that blended my love of travel, thoughtful design, and home.

While still living in Sydney nearly 8 years ago, I launched Bayside Glamping with just one property: our Glamping Tent. My dad offered me a patch of land at the back of his block, and with his carpentry skills, a stash of reclaimed materials, and a shared vision, we built the first version of what would become a much bigger dream. A year later, I moved back home to live with my dad in our family home, take over the cleaning of the tent, and dream up the next project.

Around the same time, my now-partner Luke - who grew up in nearby Corny Point - also moved back home. We’d known each other since primary school, and before long, our paths crossed again. Today, we live here with our son Tasman, surrounded by family, nature, and a pace of life we’re deeply grateful for.
