Updated: Sep 11, 2025

Murphy's Creek Hideaway is a hassle-free place to slow down and return to nature without compromising on luxury. Accommodation here comes in the form of Serengeti safari tents with king size beds, claw foot baths, BBQs and private outdoor campfires.

Each luxury tent has a stunning view over bushland which inspires guests to unwind and watch the native wildlife at play. It is a treat to sleep surrounded by Eucalypt forest and wake to the sounds of birds in the morning.
