Safari tents
Rustic, spacious and made for laid-back living
Sleeps 6 (+2 on sofa bed) • Dog friendly • Outdoor hot tub (tents 1 + 5)
Nestled among trees and blessed with far-reaching rural views, our safari tents are tailor-made for those who want to get reacquainted with the Great Outdoors. Bring the whole family and make it your home base for long, free-spirited days on the farm. Or, together with a few friends, relish the luxury of space and the rare opportunity to switch off and slow down.
Luxury under canvas.
If you like a dash of wild with your escapism, you'll feel right at home in our safari tents. Here, you can embrace the freedom and serenity of nature while enjoying a host of hand-picked creature comforts. Inside, cosy furniture, electric appliances and plenty of space to stretch out. Outside, a private decking area, a BBQ and fire pit, and views you'll love to get lost in.
Toast marshmallows under the stars. Share meals around the log stove, as warmth fills the air and the family dog warms your feet. Let the rustle of branches lull you to a deep, rewarding sleep. And wake knowing that each new day promises new adventures and lasting memories.
Acres of adventure, at your convenience.
Take a short stroll from our safari tents and you'll find Tapnell Farm's main activity hub. You can visit Tapnell Farm Park, where kids can meet the animals, play games and let their imaginations go free-range. You can cool off at the Isle of Wight's only outdoor Aqua Park. Or you can have a go at family-friendly, screen-free activities like football golf, padel tennis and clay pigeon shooting.
Hungry? Tuck into an award-winning burger at The Cow, our on-site family restaurant. Or treat yourself to one of our luxury food hampers and cook an unforgettable meal back at base. When you stay at Tapnell Farm, you're free to make every hour your own.
Explorers, meet your happy place.
The Isle of Wight rewards those who seek adventure. Serene walking trails with glorious coastal views. Beaches with sand to spare and surf to ride. Country pubs that feel a world away from the world outside. Plot a course and be there in minutes, or simply head out and see where the Island takes you.
