Like something from a fantasy novel! We stayed in the Esmeralda Wagon - it was so quaint, cosy, and intimate! The wagon itself is such a unique experience that everyone should try. Like something out of a fantasy novel! It had a surprising amount of storage space inside, a large bed, and was incredibly well insulated against the chilly Clarens nights! The area is quiet and perfect for a relaxing time away. Our host was gracious and welcoming and the rest of the staff were just as lovely. We were also treated to a car wash which completely surprised us and was really such a thoughtful gesture! 10/10 would recommend!

A total hidden gem! The wagon was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. We arrived in the little haven and were blown away. It felt like a secret garden, the staff were super friendly, and the wagon was fantastic.

Loved it. We really enjoyed it and the pretty surroundings. I was not aware we had to share a shower, but there was a bath in the wagon. The space was a bit tight also.

Hi Trevor, Thank you for our 5-star review! The wagons are self-contained with a bath and loo. The outside shower was added years later as an extra optional feature if a guest felt like a change or wanted to experience an outside waterfall shower. Yes, it is communal for all to share, which is explained on arrival. Thank you for your feedback on this; I have now gone and edited the wording on the description to state communal shower so guests can be aware in advance. As for the space, the concept is modelled as a tiny home glamping experience. We find it creates a couple's closeness and intimacy that really appeals to our guests. With the very occasional, I think 4 in the last 6 years, claustrophobic feelings inside, we are disappointed for you that you felt that way; it is important to have your personal space respected! Fortunately, the experience and lots of outside space made up for that a wee bit. We hope to see you again in the future, maybe in one of the larger house units this time. Regards, Shane!

Comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable. This was my third visit and was as good as the first two. Considerate, friendly and helpful hosts and a delightfully whimsical property with "mod cons" and comfort contained in a quaint gypsy caravan make for a memorable experience. The fantasy garden surrounding the caravans is also a charming place to unwind. I would definitely love to visit again sometime.
