The Spicers Canopy Family Adventure is designed to connect you and your family with nature and have a break from technology. We ask that iPads or similar gaming devices are saved for use in your tents and not in the communal lounge. Kids often enjoy taking photos of nature as do adults so that is to be encouraged.

Maryvale is the closest region for weather forecasts. In winter temperatures can drop below 5 degrees at night so warm clothes are highly recommended. If the temperatures are forecasted to be low you may wish to consider a warm balaclava from stores like Anaconda as your face may get cold while the rest of your body is nice and warm under the duvet.

In summer the evenings are still relatively cool where as days can be warm. Cool clothing and sun protective wear are required ie: hats, suncream and sun glasses. Hiking starts earlier in the day to make use of the cooler morning and the hot tub is set to cold for a refreshing dip.

All your meals are included on the Family Adventure:

• Breakfast
• Morning and afternoon tea
• Lunch
• Sunset drinks and canapes

With fresh fruit and snacks available at all times if you are hungry.

We provide simple alternatives to meals for kids who prefer simple tastes this might be sausages for dinner or ham salad wraps for lunch. Some kids prefer it really simple like a vegemite sandwich for lunch, we can happily cater for this just let us know in advance.

A selection of beverages are included:

• Tea, coffee & hot chocolate
• Orange juice at breakfast and lemonade for kids at lunch & dinner
• Beer and wine are included with lunch, sunset drinks and dinner – Lager full or mid-strength, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, Rose or Australian Sparkling

This is very natural and it’s likely that you or your child will need to go to the toilet. Just let one of our guides know and walk into the bush to find a comfortable and private place.

If needing to do a number two in the bush, we have a toilet kit with shovel and toilet paper. Dig a hole as deep as the shovel place toilet paper in when done and bury it.

Toilets are located at the start of the trails.
