Story Time: Eagle Dream Lodge, realization of a dream project

Sally-Ann, the owner of the Eagle Dream Lodge (our Bedouin Tent), wrote a little story for us about the realization of her dream. We love her vision and passion in life so we asked her to write something about her Xperience with us and how she came up with this beautiful idea. Sally-Ann Intuition, a deep sense of knowing, a feeling, a core wisdom, call it what you like – I had it when I first came across this unique property I am about to tell you about.

At the beginning, we had to drive almost 1,5 hour. During the trip, I [...]

A first look at the Glamtainer

Introducing the newest product range from GlamXperience- the Glamtainer. This really is an ‘out of the box’ approach to shipping container conversions and I’m absolutely in love with them!

They’re all practicality and no style and inherently posses an aroma of modern day international trade. You just have to drive past a shipping port to know what I mean. Its these characteristics that have left councils across Australia spinning about their use as a storage shed in the [...]

Sleeping under canvas

To me, sleeping under canvas is sleeping in harmony with all the elements of nature, giving you the ultimate feeling of freedom and well being. My first real glamping experience was in Portugal. I was asked by the owners of five Luxury Safari Tents, to style these for them with an authentic French bath and hotel quality finishing's. I love my job :-) Once I arrived I was really excited about the idyllic spot. The campsite was completely remote with no WIFI or phone connection. We had to climb up a one kilometer hill in order to get one dash reception [...]

When did people start to “Glamp”?

In history, tents have been used as shelter by native Americans, militaries on the move, and nomadic people. In the early societies, particularly nomadic people, set up tents which matched their lifestyle and environments. But when did people start to Glamp? History of Glamping The claim to the true history of glamping is not totally clear. During the 16th and 17th century, at the peak of the Turkish empire, the Ottomans set up luxury and extravagant Bedouin tent cities for their Sultans.
