WARRAWONG'S LUXURY CAMPING EXPERIENCE
South Australia’s iconic Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary has unveiled its newly refurbished accommodation facilities, designed to give visitors a unique overnight eco-tourism experience. Nestled in the pristine surrounds of the Adelaide Hills sanctuary, Warrawong’s 14 ‘eco-cabins’ have undergone a $150,000 renovation and offer an unparalleled opportunity to get close to nature overnight, while avoiding the pitfalls of camping out in a tent. In addition to the major upgrade, Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary is offering free entry from 9am to 4pm, seven days a week for the month of April. Enjoy a magnificent meal in the restaurant, experience a dusk walk and stay in your own private weatherproof cabin with double bed, with air-conditioning and en-suite.
