Immerse yourself in this peaceful oasis where romance, elegance, and style converge. Our glamping tent is a true masterpiece with all the luxuries of a five-star hotel – mood lighting, a plush king-sized bed that rests against a Huon pine backdrop, lavish throws and cushions, and a wood heater to keep you snug. There’s a kitchenette to keep your sparkling wine chilled and make your fresh morning coffee.
Through the double glass doors, venture onto the deck and marvel at the idyllic vista before you – rolling hills as far as you can see with striking sandstone cliffs and kunanyi/Mt Wellington in the distance. Continue the indulgence and let your cares drift away as you soak in the grand refurbished Victorian-era clawfoot bath on the deck, where you’ll feel the gentle breeze on your skin as you sip on a glass of sparkling. Welcome to bliss.

Dining

Aquila does not have an onsite restaurant, but all our accommodation is equipped with a small kitchenette. There is however, ‘Flame Space’, a communal BBQ  and outdoor fire pot area where guests can relax and enjoy one of our gourmet BBQ packs and some local tassie tipples under the stars. If cooking is not on the itinerary, Richmond Village is a short 2 min drive from the property where you can enjoy anything from a local pub meal to 5-star dining at night. During the day, you are spoilt for choice with a number of local cafes and coffee shops, wineries, distilleries and even an Oyster Farm just down the road.

Set amongst 20 hectares of working farm and secluded bushland, take the time to reconnect with nature, yourself and your loved one with one of the many on-property experiences. Or if you’re feeling adventurous you can head out on a tour of the local area by car or with our e-bikes, from feeding the ducks to feeding yourselves, alfresco saunas to animal sanctuaries, there really is something for everyone.
