Truly memorable experience.Tents are surrounded by bushland. The on-site restaurant was a highlight. The variety of options made the dining easy and enjoyable for everyone. Staff are amazing and very helpful. Parking was onsite. Just a short drive to Taronga Western Plains Zoo and other attractions made the location ideal. Overall, a great experience.

We stayed at Rhino lodge with our 6 year old and 3 year old and it was the perfect base to explore the Zoo and Dubbo region. The kids loved the novelty of sleeping in a tent and we parents didn’t need to sacrifice any creature comforts! The check in process was easy, and tent was set up thoughtfully with two single level beds for the kids (rather than bunk set up) when we arrived. A small fridge had biccies, milk and supplies to make a cuppa and sit on the deck after we unpacked. The onsite pool, kids play equipment and restaurant/bar were just what we needed for easy dining after a day out sightseeing and offered a decent selection of food options to keep everyone satisfied. It was lovely to fall asleep to sound of frogs and wildlife at night, however if noise from neighbouring tents is an issue for you suggest packing some ear plugs. Overall, we really enjoyed our glamping experience and would recommend this place highly for families looking for a unique country experience!

The Tent accomodation was very unique to stay in. We felt like we were camping, without all the hassles of erecting your own tent! This is camping in style with luxury. The 'Camp site' was exceptionally convenient for visiting the Zoo. We did find it a little noisy when the wind came up with the flapping of the tent sides. Also there are very little areas to store anything on benches etc. However overall a very enjoyable visit.
