EcoCabins
Designed by Matt to be low impact to our environment, full of light, yet cosy and warm; our EcoCabins offer a taste of Tiny House living in stunning locations.
Camping Pitches
Enjoy a truly unique camping experience. Soak up the stunning views out across the ocean during the day, and at night, marvel at the star-filled sky above your head, while toasting marshmallows over the amphitheatre fire pit.
Campsite
With landscaped pitches, our Barrel Top social space is almost complete, and our new toilets and shower facilities are open: as well as savouring the views from your perch looking out onto the Ocean, you can enjoy a swim at our private spot on Castle Strand, book a hot tub and soon, a sauna.
From €20 per night
Facilities
With pitches for small tents, large tents, and extra-large family tents, whatever the size of your group Goleen Harbour is the perfect camping destination.
Facilities include hot zero-carbon showers, campers kitchen/cooking facilities and our Barrel Top barn which is our social hub. This season we are adding a Pizza Oven and will be offering, healthy, freshly prepared food with ingredients from our garden. And if cooking is your thing, why not order a box of fresh veg organically grown here on our farm?
Sustainability
We have installed Zero Carbon district heating system for heating and hot water.
- All our power is generated by renewable energy
- To date we have planted over 10,000 Native broad leaf trees
- We have preserved our wetlands as they sync more carbon than woodlands
- Our new EcoCabins tread lightly on the earth using ground screw foundations rather than concrete. They are constructed in Ireland using locally sourced and renewable materials wherever possible.CMS
- Our purchasing policy extends to the fit out where we have carefully selected Irish made Respa 4-Star Hotel mattresses ensuring you as comfortable night’s sleep. The Geodomes incorporate furniture from the Sofa Company who support the tradition of furniture making in Vietnam they incorporate recycled fabrics and are a carbon neutral company.
- We have now installed a MyGug Anaerobic Digester to turn our food waste into Biogas to cook with and liquid compost for our gardens, closing our nutrient loop.
House Rules
Leave only footprints
Because we always put biodiversity and our environment first, as well as for your safety, all cars are left in the nearby car park after drop-off.
Please don’t bring single use plastic to our site, our water is from our own well and good to drink
Because we want Goleen to be a restful and relaxing place for all our guests, Wi-Fi is only available in our reception area.
We have a beautiful swimming spot, which guests are welcome to use, just off the rocks at Castle Strand. Please note, however that use of this swimming area is entirely at your own risk!
We have noise curfews in place at night as we are a family campsite
Pet Friendly
As an eco-tourism destination, we are also very pet friendly, so you are welcome to bring your pet. However, we do have some rules for the benefit of all our guests:
- All pets must be always kept on leads and under the owners’ control while visiting Goleen Harbour.
- Please pick up and dispose of your pets’ litter safely (so we don’t have to!). There are bins provided at the Fastnet camping field site for your convenience. If you are not in close proximity to these bins, please make sure it goes into bushes as this is preferable to using plastic bags.
- Owners are responsible for the behaviour of their pets at all times and management reserve the right to ask people to leave the site if their pets are disturbing other guests or are disruptive in any way.
- No banned breeds are allowed on site without exception!!
- Pets cannot be left unattended at any time either in cars, tents, camper vans, cabins, or domes; this is to ensure all pets’ safety while staying with us.
Pet owners who have booked any of our pet-friendly accommodations must bring their own pet beds and we request that all pets are kept off furniture. - We politely ask that you clean any muddy paws before entering the cabins or domes!
- Finally, we charge a modest flat cleaning fee for pets for our pet-friendly cabins and domes to ensure our accommodation is perfect for our net guests.
