Small Tepee
Three metres in diameter and suitable for up to two people. The central pole means this option works best with two single beds rather than a double-bed configuration.
Large Tepee
Five metres in diameter and suitable for up to six adults. Bring your own sleeping bag or duvet, pillow and anything else you need to make the space feel like home. You’re also welcome to bring an additional air mattress. Families are welcome in Tepee Life Village, although there is no separate family area. When you arrive, head directly to Tepee Life Village with the other guests in your booking. The team will check you in and show you to your tepee. Friends are welcome to visit you at your tepee, but shared village facilities are reserved for Tepee Life guests.
