The pods were clean, well maintained, comfortable and facilities were good. The log burner warmed the main pod up nicely. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Unique glamping experience with the animals on your doorstep. Pods cleaverly located to give an element of privacy with separate pod for kitchenette and bathroom and decking area to enjoy al fresco dining. Lovely fire to keep main pod warm during autumn months and although good to get away from TV etc. WiFi access is a bonus. Staff friendly and helpful and with access to the zoo throughout opening times, makes for a different way to stay on this beautiful island.

An amazing place to stay. Al couldn't do enough for you ensuring your stay was perfect.
You go to bed with the animals and definitely wake up with them.
The sunset after hours walk through the zoo is also a must.
Will definitely come again.

on site with the most endangered animals
Posted 15 Oct 2017First time glamping and this ticked all the boxes and more. On site so close to lemur enclosure and a pleasure to obseve from the camp. Our pod had its own ktchen and bathroom.wood burber in the pid. Sundeck and chairs.free admission to the zok and 2 well priced restaurants that were open from 9.30 for some home cooked food. An added bonus for us is that the camping cost helps to support the conservation of the animals. Keeper talks well worth attending.

Not a hotel but a pod in a wildlife camp

Pros: Free entry to the Park is a great bonus: and there are excellent places to eat there - and then there are the animals of course.
Cons: Difficult - they seem to have thought of pretty well everything. Perhaps the route to the camp and the parking area could be more clearly marked.
Location: The Durrell Museum is fascinating too, And Jersey is small enough to make trips to the wonderful beaches or to the War Tunnels easy.
A unique experience in many ways: for couples with young children, or older adults like us. You get a well equipped large dome-shaped bedroom tent plus another for shower and loo and a kitchen and finally a little yurt for kids. Each family area is separated by living willow hedges and with a green area in the middle; all beautifully planted like the Durrell Wildlife Park itself. As you are on the other side of the fence from the animals, you do hear various speciesl of lemurs and the loud howler monkeys at somewhat unsocial hours. The staff are excellent: extremely helpful. The dome tents have a wood burner; check that yours is complete. Ours wasn't and in late September the temperature dropped dramatically at dusk and we had a very cold damp night. Next morning repairs were carried out however and we had been offered a room in the hostel if there had still been a problem.

Lovely yurts comfortable and clean
Posted 16 Sep 2017Lovely yurts very clean and comfortable. Idyllic setting on the edge of the wildlife park, organised layout to give privacy. Unlimited access to park during opening hours. Very polite and helpful staff, would highly recommend a visit.
