Wife and I had one night stay, Friday 28th February. Wonderful experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. Tent was 'Beaumaris', large and very well appointed. One of 12 tents on the site. Our tent was most likely the same as the others in the appointments. Small fridge, hot water bottles, USB ports and electric light. Small heater for winter and fans for summer. Power supplied by Solar Panels. Bed was veeerrry comfortable with plenty of pillows. Crockery, cutlery, towels etc: all the things you expect in a hotel room. The showers/toilet facilities are shared and were excellent and very clean. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash supplied. Outdoor undercover shared cooking facilities with dining area attached if you don't want to eat at your tent. There is a community fire pit to meet and greet your neighbours if that's your thing. The tents are well spread on the camp site, over a couple of hectares. Far enough apart to afford a little privacy if you need it: tents have very thin walls 😉. There are no activities; you have to supply your own entertainment. It's very picturesque however, set among trees and dams in a very Australian Bush environment. Within about 10 to 15 minute drive are the towns of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. Both rich in history and Spa facilities are plentiful. Also pubs and clubs. Plenty of kangaroos and birdlife and come right into the camp area if it's quiet. Our upgrades (at a price) included a brekky box, Moet on ice and chocolates. A very nice addition to the experience. The only negative thing I would say is there are only 4 toilets/showers, so it could get a bit busy during peak times, i. e. Mornings and evenings. Overall I highly recommend Cosy Tents if this sounds like something for you.

We stayed at Cosy Tents for New Year's Eve and it was an incredible experience. Off the grid about 15 minutes from Daylesford, it is secluded and quiet. Tents are beautifully styled with everything you could need including a fan and USB ports to charge devices, and the bed is unbelievably comfortable (more than most hotels!). The outdoor kitchen has several BBQs and gas burners plus utensils, a large dining area and couches and fireplace where you can sit and have a glass of wine while watching the kangaroos hop through the property. Make sure you bring some marshmallows for roasting :) Bathrooms were super stylish, and kept very clean and well stocked the whole time. Staff were fabulous and even left an ice bucket of champagne for toasting at midnight. Can't recommend highly enough !

Amazing tent and room facilities, we stayed in a 5M tent which was huge and more than enough. Having a fireplace in the tent was fun and also super warm and cozy. There were numerous fire pits with seating, bbq areas and cooking facilities around. Check in/out was easy and helpful. The communal toilets/showers were very clean and tidy, I felt really comfortable using it with lots of sanitiser available. It is still 15 minutes from Daylesford but an easy drive and nice to be secluded from it all. The cheese and wine platter was 10/10 and perfect on arrival and waking up to a breakfast hamper sitting and eating outside was also perfect. Great first glamping experience!

So not the cheapest place to stay but if within your budget it is definitely worth the trouble. The Tent itself was magnificent ... comfy bed, internal fireplace, USB chargers, hot water bottles ,serviced daily if staying multiple days. I could go on. Shared shower facilities were always impeccably clean. The communal fire pit where we met other weary travellers trying and failing! to cook damper and marshmellows was a welcome respite. The onsite manager, Kyren I think it was, was one of those blokes who was always looking for ways to help his guests, no matter what they needed ... he was incredible. My only criticism is there is only a single gas plate in the communal kitchen so kettle and frypan need to be used separately which was suprisingly painful. Cosy is a serious Glamping delight and should be on everyones radar.

My husband and I had booked the 6m bell tent for a nights stay in September. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and talked through the amenities and asked what time we would like our cheese platter that we had ordered. It was a freezing day but the tent had a wood fire heater inside which made the tent warm and cosy. Overall the tent was clean, well presented and comfy. Due to the horrible weather we mostly confined to the tent but this didn’t ruin our trip. Our cheese platter arrived at the time we requested and it did not disappoint. Lots of cheese, crackers and fresh fruit. The large communal kitchen, toilets/bathrooms and fire pit were again well presented and exceptionally clean. In the morning our breakfast box was delivered subtly outside our tent. The breakfast box contained pastries, fruit, cereal and even a thermos of warm water for tea and coffee which was also provided. Overall we had a fantastic time at cosy tents and we highly recommend the experience for anyone in any weatherz

Cosy Tents is a beautiful place. My husband and I visited last year and decided it would be a great place to share with our friends. We have just returned from our Glamping weekend with a slightly bitter taste in our mouths. We were not given full use of all facilities being told we were not allowed to use the covered kitchen dining area as there were too many of us. We were forced by management to use a partially covered facilities in pouring rain despite no one using the other facilities. We were informed that groups were not allowed and if they had known we would not have been allowed to book, however management knew that we were a group and never contacted us prior to arrival. My friends and myself were made to feel like second class citizens despite paying the same as others. Despite this we all managed to make the best of the situation and had a great weekend. Unfortunately we will not be returning... perhaps that was the intended outcome. Shout out to Kyron, a staff member who always had a smile and Tried to assist us as best he could. Too bad the owner could not take a leaf out oh his book!

Response from Eva B, Owner at Cosy Tents
Responded 19 Mar 2021
Hi Chris, Thank you so much for taking the time to review your recent stay with us and noting from the laughter and smiles on everyone over the weekend, we trust that you all had a wonderful time away! As mentioned during your stay, with larger groups we do require you to book out the campsite exclusively so that you would have full range of all amenities. Unfortunately, we were not aware of the size of your group until the first set of guests had arrived on the day. Had we known you were part of a larger group, we would have certainly informed you of our group booking policy beforehand. We were only aware of the 2 tents you had booked under your details and were unaware of the rest of the group as they had all booked individually, at different times, and under different names. We provide access to cooking facilities for all of our guests, and to ensure both your group and all other guests could enjoy a weekend away, we trust that you understand our reasoning of using the cooking amenities closest to the tents that you and your group had booked, and similarly, for all other guests staying that weekend could have access to cooking amenities closest to them, as it would not make sense for them to use the cooking facilities furthest away. We are sad to hear that you will not be returning, but glad that you still had a wonderful weekend away. Kyrn is certainly one of our superstar staff here at Cosy Tents and will certainly give him a great shout out. All the best, Eva

My adult daughter and I stayed here for a quick getaway. Although we had no problems bunking in together, maybe the site could have a tent with "twin beds". Having said that; the accommodation was absolutely amazing. The surroundings are just breathtaking, from the 'blue lagoon' to the visiting kangaroos and everything in between. The tent was beautiful and had everything we needed. From the moment we arrived until we checked out, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Absolute professionalism at its very best. WE WILL RETURN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On a recent trip to Melbourne, we wanted to get out of the city and visit somewhere regional. We decided on Ballarat, however we could not find any accomodation, until we stumbled upon Cosy Tents (just outside Dalysford). I’m so glad we did! These bell tents are fully equiped with a large comfy bed and even a fireplace. The property it self was so clean and peaceful. I wish we had stayed an extra night. Will definitely be back. TIP: order the breakfast box. It won’t disappoint

I brought my partner to Cosy tents after an amazing relaxing day at ‘the mineral spa’ in Daylesford to ask her if she would marry me. She said ‘YES’ 😃
I booked on the Cosy tents website which I found simple to use. When it came to organizing how and where to pop the question within the campsite I made contact with Cosy tents and spoke with Jared and I could not believe the assistance and customer service I received. It was with Jared’s amazing assistance that made the wow factor with where I could pop the question, preparing my tent with flowers and Moët and cheese and crackers for after I asked the question. Anything I needed a hand with to make my stay special, was not any concern to Jared or the very helpful team at Cosy tents.
There is some wonderful locations with lookouts/views the team can assist you with for popping the question. For myself we picked to sit on a couple of sun decks under a little shelter by the lake. It was beautiful :-)
Thank you again to you Jared and your amazing team at Cosy tents. It will always be a special place for us, and we hope to return regularly. Cheers

My partner stayed here and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. It was so quiet and had an amazing, well thought out setup. We used the bbq kitchen area and loved the views as we cooked. The tent was spacious and had a great comfy bed. The showers were great too so no complaints about any of it. Would recommend to any couples wanting too spend quality time together.

Hi Honeymoon4Infinity,
We are primarily targeted to couples and unfortuanately the campsite is not suitable for families. Our tents are set-up with queen size beds and unfortunately do not offer additional bedding for the little ones.
Apologies, but thank you for informing us that you saw us on the kidsstylefile website. We will let them know we are targeted more to couples and not families.
Cheers,
Cosy Tents
