The Best Places to Go Glamping in Margaret River
When people think of camping, they often think of mud, bugs, spiders, snakes, and dirt. But, in this article, we are going to forget about traditional camping and go chic with glamping. If you’re looking to escape to the south west of Western Australia and check out the Margaret River region, glamping is the way to sleep.
Glamping is special, clean, upmarket, and incredibly luxurious. Margaret River is home to many great glamping spots which makes it the perfect way to stay when you’re visiting the area. You can enjoy getting back to nature while still enjoying the serene comfort and convenience that camping simply doesn’t provide.
Better yet, it is far more accessible for seniors who need somewhere with a bit more padding to spend the night that is accessible. Most of the time, traditional camping just doesn’t offer the luxury they need. Without further ado, let’s check out the best places to go glamping in the region.
Glamping in Margaret River
Two Blind Cows
Osmington
Two Blind Cows is most certainly the most boutique glamping accommodation experience in the entirety of the Margaret River Region. Two Blind Cows offers a very stylish design in the tents with extreme attention to detail that doesn’t go unmissed. With four canvas tents on site, this site gives off an authentic safari vibe for all to enjoy.
The bathrooms are quite eccentric while still luxurious. They have beautiful marble tabletops, stone sinks, brass taps, and gorgeous handmade organic beauty products such as lotions and soaps. The bedroom and lounge area is finished off with strong hardwood floors, a leather armchair, smooth linens, and a rattan bedhead.
These tens also come with their own private deck to allow for a morning coffee and an afternoon beverage while stargazing. The standard kitchenette comes with a locally roasted plunger coffee for your enjoyment. Smack bang in the middle of a private farm, the land is free of light pollution making it the perfect place to relax without feeling too close to anything.
It is only a 12-minute drive from the heart of Margaret River.

Cowaramup
Olio Bello Lakeside Glamping offers six safari-style tents in Cowaramup. They are essentially luxury accomodation in the form of a glamping experience being on farmland.
