October 13 - 15: We stayed a couple of nights in Bulhadelah, in a “glamping” tent. It’s essentially a giant bathroom (with walls) with a huge deck and heavy duty tent over it, containing a studio room with bed, kitchen, dining and lounge.
The first night, we had dinner at this understated restaurant (it looks like a fish and chips shop) called Warung Peri, which serves some of the best food we’ve eaten. Indonesian.
We did most of our eating on our outside deck, watching the birds, cows and greenery.
I had a fair bit of work to do, so the deck became my office while I wrestled with Xcode and SwiftUI.
I set out to locate coffee for Francis on the first morning. It was only a couple of hundred meters to town, so I thought it best to walk. Loved the sign on the counter at Buladelah Cafe on Main 🦸 ☕️.
On the second morning she had the Red Parrot on-site coffee, after a lot of fun in the (also on-site) petting zoo.
Great place. Friendly staff.
Charging
We asked about charging when booking on-line, but didn’t see an answer. On arrival, however, the iPad check-in form actually has a checkbox to tick if you have an EV.
As instructed, we plugged into the only outside power point of our glamping tent, by temporarily unplugging the hot water heater. The cabins have a spare power point, so no need to unplug there.
The place is only four years old and has electrical metering for all sites, such as caravan, camping, glamping and cabins. When you check out, you pay for your metered electricity, at 34c/kWh. We paid total $10 for about $4.75 150km of charge (topped up to 100% battery), and air con etc. Oddly, gas (for hot water) isn’t metered.
Their brochure details the costs, but confuses kW with kw/h (which isn’t a thing). To be fair, I do think that kWh and kW are often confusing units of measurement.
Out of curiosity, does the place you stay at allow dogs?
