Your Hosts

YOUR HOSTS

Your hosts at The Oaks Safari Tent are friends, Charlotte and Chloe.

Twelve years ago, Rick and Charlotte Anderson acquired the rundown farm and began restoring it, with Rick leading the initial restoration work.

Originally living across the valley, Charlotte was drawn to the property's natural beauty, including its waterways, varied terrain, and abundant trees. What started as a family retreat has since evolved into a stunning glamping destination.

Charlotte now continues the farming work and friend Chloe helps with accommodation arrangements, ensuring a warm welcome to all visitors at The Oaks Safari Tent.

“ What an incredible experience at The Oaks. Despite some pretty wet and windy weather, we had the most amazing, relaxing time connecting as a family. We loved all the little details that were thought about to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. We especially enjoyed the cosy nook, the comfortable beds, and the beautiful setting. We can’t wait to return. The kids loved the outside bath and being able to stay so close to the animals. 10/10. ”
