Kangaroo Island Seafront caravan park: Rates & glamping tents
The Kangaroo Island Seafront Holiday Park offers caravan sites, with rates from $40. But the new luxury glamping tents are the most interesting option if you want to stay in Penneshaw.
The caravan park in Penneshaw, South Australia, is one of the cheapest places to stay on Kangaroo Island. It also has the benefit of being close to the arrival point for the Sealink and Kangaroo Island Connect ferries.
The Kangaroo Island Seafront Holiday Park, to give it the full name, is pretty small by the standards of Australian caravan parks.
Glamping on Kangaroo Island
However, this Penneshaw caravan park is offering some unusual glamping accommodation. The newly-launched Seafront Eco Luxury Tents are essentially mini-hotel rooms with canvas walls. All are set in native bushland with great views of Hog Bay.
They also have slightly different themes, although the theming is so light you’ll be forgiven for not noticing it. The queen beds are in the centre of the tent, with mini bars, fridges and bathrooms cleverly tucked away around them.
These luxury tents at the Kangaroo Island Seafront Holiday Park also come with a sizable wooden decking outside.
