The Inverloch Glamping Co
Escape the city for stargazing, campfires and coastal walks (without compromising on luxury).
Overview
At just under two hours drive southeast of Melbourne, Inverloch is a seaside town that's perfectly primed for an outdoorsy weekend escape. And if you book into one of The Inverloch Glamping Co's luxury bell tents, you can spend the night sleeping under the stars.
The glamping site opened in 2017, transforming a livestock paddock into an eco resort with luxury bell tents and a beachside cabin. There's a communal, purpose-built camp kitchen onsite, too, with a timber bar overlooking the ocean. It's truly glamorous camping, as there's a fridge, dishwasher, planted herbs and a choice of indoor and outdoor fire pits.
For the accommodation, the beach cabin is where you'll want to rest your head if you're after maximum cosiness. There's a queen bed, wood fire heating and a private chimenea on the outdoor deck. You'll get ocean and farm views, plus all the comforts of a USB port and bluetooth speakers.
If you prefer sleeping under canvas, the bell tents are just as cosy but with limited standing room. There's a queen-sized bed, blankets, a heating/cooling system and private bathroom cabins nearby. Just like in the cabins, you'll also get to charge your phone and play your favourite tunes as there's USB port and speakers here too.
Aside from proximity to the beach, and the possibility of stargazing the night away, the glamping site is also close to Eagle's Nest coastal lookout point. There is also walking trails like Screw Creek Townsend Bluff Estuary Walk, George Bass Coastal Walk, or Bass Coast Rail Trail, which is also good for cycling. And when you want to engage with civilisation again, you're a seven-minute drive from Inverloch's local shops, cafes and conveniences.
