The new glamping tents feature canvas sides and large windows capturing the views, as well as king beds with premium linens, modern lounge and dining area, split airconditioning and private ensuite stocked with Australian spa care products. Outdoors, generous verandas offer cool lounging space.
Three tents have been designed for couples, while three family tents feature a king bed plus two king single beds.
Kings Canyon Resort general manager Michelle Ikin said the new glamping tents were designed to appeal to the modern traveller, keen to experience the landscape, food and culture of the destination.
“The new glamping tents will offer our guests the sensory experience of the Australian Outback — the sights and sounds of the desert — but with all the comforts of a hotel stay,” Ms Ikin said.
