Oztent Shade House: Seven Nights of Open‑air Comfort at Agnes Water.
Set on the shores of Agnes Water, the Oztent Shade House is a purpose‑built outdoor living room: fully meshed walls that keep flies, mozzies and midges at bay, room to dine and organize gear, and the option to convert the shelter into a sleeping space for nights spent under the stars.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Shelter from the storm (and the sun)
The Shade House’s fully meshed walls are designed to keep biting insects out while preserving airflow and views, letting you relax, eat and store gear without the constant nuisance of flies or midges.
A place to live outdoors
Set up a table and chairs, make a meal and unwind in a shaded, protected space — the Shade House functions as a compact outdoor lounge and storage area for fridge units, clothing and extra equipment.
Sleep beneath the sky
When temperatures are high, the Shade House can be converted into a bedroom: slide a mattress inside and spend the night under open sky, with the option of hiring a high‑power fan to stay cool.

What the stay feels like
The experience is straightforward and focused: a protected, flexible shelter that transforms daily life at camp — dining, gear storage and sleeping — into something closer to outdoor domesticity than roughing it, with smart features designed to keep insects out and comfort in.
