Frequently Asked Questions
If you find yourself still asking questions after reading this, we are happy to answer them.
DOES Tent Events SET EVERYTHING UP?
Yes! We provide all glamping gear hire and the labour!
We arrive before you to pitch and style your bell tent on your chosen campsite. Once your unique glamping experience is over we return to pack it all down. Our rates include the hire and our labour…. we take care of all the work so you don’t have to lift a finger.
THERE’S MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE IN OUR GROUP. CAN WE BRING OUR OWN BEDDING AND MATTRESSES TO AVOID THE ‘EXTRA PERSON’ CHARGE?
I’m afraid not! The number of people booked in your glamping experience must match the number of people booked with the campground so all campers must be paid for.
The extra person charge is great value! It includes a single mattress, pillows, bedding, linen, extra chair.
CAN I BOOK OVER A LONG WEEKEND?
Yes, of course! We have a minimum booking of 3 nights over long weekends (when the public holiday falls on a Friday or Monday).
DO YOU CHARGE PER NIGHT?
We charge per setup up to 5 nights. We do not Service the tents unless requested at time of booking. Additional charges for extra bedding are charged on request.
DOES Tent Events have PERMANENT SITES?
No, every Tent Event hire is set up and packed down for each guest. Our guests must book their own campsite before booking our glamping package. We can help you find place or venue check out our list of where we have been.
