Your Sleeping Retreats
Introducing the Stargazers
Our new retreats are Lotus Belle Stargazer Tents, designed to bring guests closer to nature — where you truly sleep beneath the stars.
Unlike our original powered glamping tents, these retreats are intentionally off-grid, creating a quieter, more immersive experience.
Each tent will be thoughtfully prepared with:
✨ Thick luxurious insulated liners
✨ Warm premium bedding and layered textiles
✨ Comfortable flooring underfoot
✨ Battery Powerbank for the Devan, Quinn & Beau Retreat to power electric blankets and side lamps
✨ Soft ambient battery lanterns for the Birch Retreat
The result is a cosy, atmospheric stay where evenings slow down, lanterns glow softly, and the night sky becomes part of your experience.
While Forest Hillside is expanding, one thing will never change —
Every booking continues to enjoy exclusive use of the entire property.
Forest Hillside is not becoming a campground.
When you stay, the retreat is yours alone.
No crowds. No shared strangers.
Just space, privacy, and the freedom to truly unwind.
This next chapter feels incredibly special to us, and we can’t wait to welcome both familiar and new faces to experience Forest Hillside in a whole new way.
