Giraffe Enclosure, Thetford

Giraffe Enclosure

About the property

Nestled in a secluded dell beneath a canopy of ancient beech trees, Giraffe Enclosure offers luxury glamping with a fascinating historical twist. This spectacular safari tent sits in King Edward VIII Wood, Thompson, where the foundations of an old Hall once stood – a heritage that adds an extra layer of intrigue to your stay.

This isn’t your ordinary camping experience. The tent sleeps six guests in true comfort, featuring two king-size beds (including one in a quirky cabin accessed by a vertical ladder – a guaranteed hit with adventurous sleepers) and a cosy twin room. The bathroom adds a touch of vintage luxury with its beautiful hand-painted roll-top bath, complete with complimentary toiletries and fluffy towels.

The living space strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. Sink into comfortable sofas around the wood-burning stove, or enjoy family movie nights with the TV and DVD player. The well-equipped kitchen features an electric hob and all the essentials needed for family feasts, whether you’re dining at the indoor table or out on the veranda.

Children will adore their own secret hideaway – a tucked-away alcove under the cabin bed with a special table and chairs just for them. Outside, gather around the fire pit to toast marshmallows under Norfolk’s starlit sky, or slip into your private wood-fired hot tub for the ultimate relaxation experience.

As guests, you’ll enjoy complimentary access to the Wilderness Spa, hidden among mature trees nearby. Take a refreshing dip in the natural swimming pool, unwind in the relaxation area (housed in an elegant safari tent), or treat yourself to a spa treatment. The Botanical Bistro offers seasonal delights, perfect for those days when you don’t feel like cooking.

The veranda, accessed by steep steps, provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks while listening to the whispers of the historic woodland around you. With BBQ facilities and plenty of outdoor seating, alfresco living becomes second nature here.

This unique retreat offers a perfect blend of adventure and luxury, ideal for families seeking something special. While the tent welcomes up to six guests, please note it’s not suitable for dogs, ensuring a peaceful stay for all visitors.
