Slow Living Byron

By | Bell Tents, Event Hire, Glamping Mornington Peninsula, Slow Living

Slow Living Byron Retreat by Local Milk In April Jessie from Happy Glamper packed a trailer and drove all the way from the Mornington Peninsula to Byron Bay. The allure of collaborating with the likes of Beth Kirby, Luisa Brimble, Rebekka Seale, Aaron Teece and Lean Timms on the Slow Living Byron Retreat was strong, making the travel miles easy! A small bell tent oasis was created on the grounds of Avalon Lea amidst lush tropical fronds and green hills. The interiors were customised at Beth Kirby’s direction, using soft neutrals and green accents inspired by the surroundings. For four days magic was…

Do Lectures Australia 2015

By | Bell Tents, Event Hire, Glamping Mornington Peninsula

In March 2015 we packed up 27 bell tents and our Airstream ‘Peggy Sue’ and hit the road for Do Lectures Australia 2015. Having experienced the rapture of the inaugural one just 11 months prior, we knew we were in for a special week! After a day of travelling over mountains and navigating narrow roads with steep drops we spent the next two days pitching and styling, creating bell tent villages at three different locations: Big River Campground in Shannonvale, Payne’s Hut in Glen Valley and at Glen Wills Retreat in Glen Willis. During our week away we forged friendships toasting…

Wedding Glamping in a beautiful paddock… In late November 2014 we provided wedding glamping for guests of a beautiful couple called Joanne and Michael. In Joanne’s words it was ‘in the middle of a paddock with no electricity or running water’ but the result was truly magical! The wedding has just been featured on Real Weddings! Click here for full description, more photos and details of suppliers. Excerpt: Michael’s favourite aspect of the day was being able to share his farm with our guests and provide them with the opportunity to sleep over. He made contact with Happy Glamper, who specialise…

Rural glamping wedding – Oct 2014

By | Airstream, Bell Tents, Event Hire, Festival Wedding, Glamping Wedding

We had the absolute pleasure of creating a bell tent village for the guests of Sarah Jane and Nate’s rural glamping wedding held on the 4th October! The property of 11,000 acres was a 40-minute drive from the closest tiny town, which meant accommodation was seriously scarce. We pitched 15 bell tents in a wide arc, all facing in towards the entertainment area. Peggy Sue the Airstream was set up as the bridal suite facing a secluded creek bed. The weather was perfect and everyone raved about attention to detail and stunning rural backdrop! Above two photos by Elizabeth Kinnaird
