  • What is Glampa?

    Glampa offers a luxurious off-grid glamping experience, combining the comforts of a modern stay with the beauty of nature. Its more glam than camping and it’s your perfect escape to unwind, recharge, and connect with stunning locations.


    Each Site hosts different versions of our custom unique Glampa Pods. You can check them out here. We are inspired by simple repeatable forms and modernist detailing. Built 100% from upcycled shipping containers, we build sustainable, energy efficient accommodation units in stunning locations around Australia.

    Booking is easy! Simply visit our Booking page on this site (it’s always less expensive to book this way), select your desired location and dates, and follow the steps to complete your reservation. You’ll receive a confirmation email once your booking is complete. You can also book through the major booking platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google Hotels. 

  • How many people can each Glampa Pod sleep?

    Each Site will host different Pods. Most of our Pods sleep 2 people in a luxurious Queen Bed. 2 Bedroom Pods will sleep 4 adults and in some cases we also have bunk beds for children. Please check relevant Pods at each Site before you book. If you need infant cots, please let us know in advance and we can usually accommodate you.  

  • How do I check-in and check-out?

    Glampa uses a seamless self-check-in process. You’ll receive detailed instructions and access codes before your stay. Check-in is from 2 PM, and check-out is by 11 AM. Each Pod has digital access locks and your welcome details will include all necessary codes. 

  • What amenities are included?

    Each Glampa Pod is equipped with a super comfy bed, TV, Wifi, kitchen essentials, private bathroom facilities, heating, and cooling. Some sites may also include indoor fireplaces,  fire pits, outdoor seating, or BBQ areas. Specific amenities are listed on each locations booking page.

  • What does off-grid mean for Glampa?

    Living off-grid at Glampa means being fully self-sufficient and not relying on mains public services. Our off-grid Pods are powered using renewable resources like solar energy, with rainwater tanks providing water and gas bottles for heating. We ensure that the solar batteries are always fully charged, and the filtered rainwater tanks are well-stocked before guests arrive.



    To ensure a sustainable experience, certain appliances that are not part of the Glampa setup cannot be used, as they may damage the battery or deplete the power supply, leaving you without electricity. If this is the case, we will specify this in the Welcome Pack. 



    If we run out of Solar Power, don’t worry. Each Pod is supported by a quiet back up generator which will start and stop automatically. 



    Tasmania is known for its rain, so our tanks are always well stocked. If there is ever a shortage we will work quickly to refill the tanks. 

  • Are the Glampa Pods wheelchair accessible?

    Please check for accessibility statements for each Site. For Sites with 10 or more Pods you will definitely find one that is wheelchair accessible. 

  • How close can I park to the Glampa pod?

    Designated parking areas are located within 50-100 meters of each Glampa Pod, and the specific distance will be listed in each Site’s profile. Each parking area is designed to accommodate a maximum of two vehicles per Pod. Please refrain from driving past the designated parking area, even if a trail or track is visible, to preserve the natural environment and maintain the integrity of the Site.

  • Is Glampa family-friendly?

    Yes, Glampa welcomes families! Some Pods are designed to accommodate groups or families with additional sleeping options. Check the capacity and details of each Pod before booking.

  • Can I bring my pet?

    We love pets, but to ensure the safety of local wildlife and maintain a clean environment, not all Glampa locations are pet-friendly. Please check the specific locations pet policy when booking. Some of our locations actively cultivate local wildlife and don’t be surprised if you have relatively tame visitors. 

  • What should I bring with me?

    We recommend bringing clothing suitable for outdoor activities, food and drinks, and personal toiletries. We provide all necessary bedding, linen and towels plus basic necessities, but it’s always good to check the details for your chosen Glampa Site.

Glampa: Accommodation That Doesn’t Cost the Environment

By Markelvin Balingasa • December 4, 2024
At Glampa, we believe there’s a way to experience the beauty of nature without leaving a mark behind. We’ve carefully designed every aspect of our pods to offer guests a luxurious stay while protecting the environment that makes these locations so special. Unlike traditional accommodations that rely on heavy construction and permanent foundations, our pods use an innovative Mega Anchor System. These anchors are drilled directly into the ground without the need for cement or large-scale excavation. This means no trees are cleared, no soil is disrupted, and no permanent scars are left on the land. When we remove a pod, nature can reclaim the space completely. To ensure every stay is self-sufficient and eco-friendly, we’ve developed a custom service unit that powers and supports our pods. This unit handles everything—off-grid energy, waste management, and water—seamlessly. From solar power to composting waste solutions, the system is designed to minimise every guests environmental impact while providing all the modern comforts you’d expect. Even the construction and design of our pods reflect our commitment to sustainability. The materials we use are carefully chosen to be durable, low-impact, and in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The sleek, modern look blends into nature, so you feel a part of the environment, not apart from it. By staying with Glampa, you’re doing more than just enjoying a unique getaway. You’re supporting a philosophy that prioritises the planet while ensuring your stay is as comfortable, luxurious, and unforgettable as possible. Escape, relax, and explore—knowing the beauty you’ve come to enjoy will still be here for others to experience, too.

Tasmania: Always Something to Take Your Breath Away

By Katrina . • December 4, 2024
In Tasmania, every season offers a new reason to fall in love with our island. Whether it’s the lively hum of a summer festival, the fiery colors of autumn leaves, or the crisp magic of winter mornings, there’s always something extraordinary happening here. Even our so-called “off-season” is a celebration—an invitation to experience Tasmania at its most vibrant, unexpected, and alive experience no matter the weather. Summer: A Feast for the Senses Summer in Tasmania is a time to bask in the sunshine and soak up the energy of the season. The island comes alive with music festivals, wine events, and endless opportunities to indulge in fresh, local food. From sprawling markets to seaside concerts, every corner of the state hums with celebration. It’s a time to sip, savor, and dance your way through warm days and star-filled nights. Autumn: A Call to Adventure As the air turns crisp and the landscapes transform into a tapestry of red, orange, and gold, autumn is a time to explore. It’s the perfect season for hiking through evergreen forests, kayaking on mirror-like lakes, or taking long drives through the countryside. The changing foliage makes every view postcard-perfect, while cooler weather invites adventurers far and wide to experience the heart of Tasmania’s natural beauty. Winter: A World of Wonder Winter in Tasmania is anything but quiet. With the arrival of Dark Mofo, the island bursts to life in a celebration of art, fire, and the longest nights of the year. Think interactive installations that light up the city, roaring bonfires to keep the chill at bay, and fog-draped mornings that feel straight out of a dream. It’s a season of contrasts—darkness and light, warmth and cold—all woven together in an unforgettable experience. Spring: A Time of Renewal As winter fades and the breeze begins to warm, Tasmania awakens in spring. Hillsides come alive with blooming flowers, markets overflow with fresh harvests, and the wild carries a sense of possibility. It’s a time to hop from cafe to cafe and explore all that our local makers have to offer, from pottery, to jewelry and woodwork. No matter the season, Tasmania offers something to take your breath away. Each moment here is a chance to experience something unique, whether it’s the rush of a festival, the tranquility of nature, or the simple joy of tasting fresh, local flavors. So why wait? Come and discover the magic of Tasmania, where every season is an invitation to adventure and every visit is unforgettable.
