Our safari tents are located within our equestrian centre in 40 acres of countryside; there’s so much to see and do onsite with a range of excellent facilities a short walk away including GGs http://www.ggsiow.com, a licensed bar and restaurant, children’s play area, rescued sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks, horses and superb indoor and outdoor riding arenas and on-site hacks/walks for riders of all ages and abilities. We are a car ride away from beaches, attractions, country-side walks and cycle paths.
Sitting under a blanket of stars
The Isle of Wight is renowned for its dark skies and stunning night-time display of the Milky Way – sit back next to a crackling fire and relax with us.
Our spacious luxury safari tents sleep 4-8 for families/adult groups and all the mod cons for an unforgettable glamping experience.
The horses and sheep graze around the camp and so there’s always something to watch, the safari camp itself is gated so that the kids can run and play while sausages sizzle and the champagne sparkles.

The bathroom has ample turning space as room for a wheelchair alongside the WC where a toilet frame can be supplied. Additional mobility equipment such as shower wheelchair and stools are available free of charge where available (please book to confirm) and guests can bring additional equipment (Island Mobility hire) if required. We must stress that this is still a safari tent and if you have any questions please do call and speak to us first. Please note Gaucho has a standard zipped entrance.

Exclusive use of the safari camp
If you’re planning a get-together or a large gathering, we hire the safari camp out as exclusive use – either with the accommodation included or just the safari camp.
If you’re bringing in a bouncy castle or a hog roast this is the place to have your party – in the countryside, surrounded by fields and horses.
The camp is gated and so the kids can run riot and parents can chill.
Residential Stays
Off season we convert the glamping village to accommodate pony club breaks / large groups / residential stays / school and scout holidays.
Our 4 tents can sleep 16 in each in bunk beds (very useful to have the 2x shower rooms in each tent) and in the washing up and games room tent we have space for a projector (on request) and there’s a table tennis table and chill out area – perfect!
At night the skies are dark enough for stargazing – bring your telescope/binoculars, there is plentiful wildlife to watch in the surrounding woods and in the daytime, horses graze on the pastures around the camp.
