Speaker 2: Hawk's Hey, how are you doing?

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: Sonny is from the Luxurious Scapes boutique at Bondai Junction

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: in Sydney, and today we're talking about glamping.

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I absolutely love it. It's it's becoming so

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: big now as well.

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: So what is it about glamping?

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: I just think I think all of us, especially in

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: today's day and age, we needed just a bit of

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: time to just go off grid, stay off our phones.

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: We're all addicted to them. You need just like a

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: few days of just being off that and just being

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: within nature.

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Thank you.

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: It's just the perfect little getaway and it's good for families, couples, friends,

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: it's it's for everyone.

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Okay. So when you're looking to glamp, what are you

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: looking for? So I want to go glamping, saying be

20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: it here or you do it here or offshore? What

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: should I be looking for?

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 3: Right?

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you need to be in the perfect location.

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: You want somewhere that you can go on lovely hikes.

25
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: You want to maybe go for a swim, if you

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: go and when it's hot, you want to make sure

27
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: you've got well nearby, good like toilet facilities, shower facilities,

28
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But I think location is just key.

29
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: You want to be somewhere of beautiful views, beautiful hikes

30
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: and just seek another Yeah, a beautiful day out.

31
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: What have you you've been glamping sunny? Yeah, well I've

32
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: gone in what's your favorite glamping spot?

33
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: I've gone in the country back in England in Surrey

34
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: and it was absolutely stunning. I woke up to cows

35
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: literally surrounded by me, so that was nice having that

36
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: to be woken up to. Fortunately, I do have a

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: trip in Mansfield in Victoria next year which I'm really

38
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: looking forward to. We actually do it. Oh, we've got

39
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: a special one out at the moment, and it's so

40
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: good because they bring you a little like breakfast hampers

41
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: in the morning as well, which just adds to it

42
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: and mix it that all so much better.

43
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: So the glamping I've been to, and I've been to

44
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: northern New South Wales, glamping is my main experience up there.

45
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Explain what it is because we're not even talking about

46
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: camping five star camping, it's kind of beyond that. Isn't it.

47
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure most of us have had a trip away.

48
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: We've gone camping, whether it be when we're a kid

49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: or when we've grown up. Just think camping itself, but

50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: taking it up a notch. Just think you're getting all

51
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: the luxuries that you'd get pretty.

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 3: Much in a hotel room.

53
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: So let's run through the same bathroom, big one.

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, bathroom is probably the biggest one out of them

55
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: all the bid Yeah, the bed. You've got all kind

56
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: of like kitchen net facilities as well, so a lot

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: of them. You can get like little hobs, kettle, stuff

58
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: like that, so you can still have your like normal

59
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: bills a day that you do at home. Electricity is

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: a big one nowadays. Obviously everyone needs their phone on them,

61
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: but I love being off grid. In most locations when

62
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: you go for clamping, there's going to be low reception.

63
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Yep.

64
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, electricity is a big one nowadays. We all need that,

65
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: whether it be hair dryers, straighteners.

66
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, stuff like that. You're talking to a bald name,

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: but thanks very much.

68
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: I appreciate the not maybe for your partner, I don't know.

69
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: But what about the thing about glaiming too, is that

70
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: you're almost more open when you're sleeping than when you're camping,

71
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 3: because when you're camping, inevitably you're in a tent and

72
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: you might.

73
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: Have sort of a skylight at the top. But most

74
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: glamping that I've seen or been to, there's so much sunlight.

75
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, a lot of glamping sights as well. You

76
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: can kind of it can kind of be like a

77
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: sea through kind of tent, or you can have like

78
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: a huge like open not at the top where you

79
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: be able to see the sky or if you've got

80
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: like a sunning view of any mountains or anything like

81
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: that as well. So it just adds to like waking

82
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: up to have a sunning view or something like that

83
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: as well, which is really cool.

84
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So wrapping these ups somewhat. So glamping is on

85
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: the rise, you'd say in Australia.

86
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: Especially, I mean, I know it was a while ago now,

87
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: but since the pandemic, I think a lot of people obviously,

88
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: I mean, they had no choice but to do like

89
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: domestic trips and glamping was what everyone was doing. Camps

90
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: that's obviously setting out so quickly, I think, not even

91
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: just with in Australia, but like throughout the world. It's

92
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: just been on a while, so I think everyone's seeing

93
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: how cheap you can get it as well. You can

94
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: get it on such affordable so it's affordable for anyone.

95
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: And again it's for everyone, couple's friends, families.

96
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: It's it ends available broadly Australia. Endo.

97
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: It is available like it's a thing which you can

98
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: do all throughout the I mean, obviously wouldn't Sugg just

99
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: going when it's raining. I mean you could still go

100
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: and you could still enjoy it. But it is available

101
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,360
