On the outskirts of town, near the turn-off to the Gardens, this rustic, hippy-goes-boutique bush-camping retreat involves interesting 'bell tents' with shared bathrooms and cooking facilities. Cooked breakfasts ($24) and two-course chef's-choice dinners ($42) are available, with an honesty bar of Tassie tipples. The vibe is chilled-out and wholesome. Book well ahead.
