The day’s journey concludes at Camp One, where hikers are greeted with their full glamping set up, hot showers and a warm dinner

Day Two: Camp One to Camp Two (14.7km) 

This challenging 14.7km hike ascends 400m into ancient blackbutt and subtropical rainforests. Hikers take breaks at two stunning lookouts, each offering breathtaking views of Wollumbin, Commissioners Creek, and beyond. Crossing the Doon Doon saddle, guests traverse the borders between Mount Jerusalem National Park and Nightcap National Park. After a panoramic view from Tea Tree Lookout, the group continues up the historic Nightcap Bluff to Camp Two. Where luxury awaits the day’s end.

Wake up whenever you like and step out of your tent to the sounds of birdsong as the bush comes to life. Breathe in the fresh morning air, sip on a freshly brewed coffee or a quiet cup of tea, and ease into the day. Stretch out any sore hiking muscles using our complimentary yoga mats before enjoying a delicious, nourishing breakfast prepared by our local chef.

A beautifully arranged grazing platter will be served, offering the perfect way to unwind before dinner. 

Gather around our custom-made blackbutt dining table to enjoy a nourishing, chef-curated meal under the stars, crafted with fresh, local ingredients. As the night sky fills with stars, take in the breathtaking view, share stories around the gathering circle, or retreat early for a well-deserved rest.

Your tent is thoughtfully prepared with fresh bed linen, a comfy pillow, and soft lighting for your convenience. A fully equipped shower is also available—whether you prefer to freshen up in the evening or start your morning with a rinse, the choice is yours.
