Tandara affords guests a tranquil location to spoil someone special. Harmoniously integrated into the Australian bush, Tandara was built to offer something very different to what a traditional camping experience might entail. It reflects a practical approach to integrating sustainability principles into tourism development on land within a Reserve or National Park.
Tandara is unique, there is only one tent! A spacious self-contained canvas tent within its own private sanctuary.
Please remember that this is a tent so bring your winter woolies if booking in the winter months!
There are also other budget and family accommodation options (such as cabins) within the Park if you are looking for accommodation for one than one couple.
Our tip: Tandara is a great experience, however please note that it is situated on the edge of the Lane Cove Tourist Caravan Park in the city. While your caravan park neighbours are not visible, they may be heard. If you are after a completely private bush getaway, we recommend checking out these options nearby.
