The site — recognized among the world’s top camping destinations — is compact and intimate, designed for couples, families or small groups seeking both quiet and easy access to coastal walking and waterfront views.

What the day feels like
What the stay feels like
This is low-key glamping: arrive, set down provisions, and step into a compact living space that opens on raw coastline. Days are for shoreline walks and short hikes; evenings settle into quiet—wood-fired warmth, the lapping of the bay, and wide skies overhead. Stays typically run from a couple of days to a week, offering enough time to disconnect without the trappings of a large resort.
