Camping
Enjoy a truly unique camping experience—soak up the stunning views of the rugged coastal landscape and marvel at the starry night sky while toasting marshmallows over the amphitheatre firepit.
EcoCabins
Our founder Matt designed the EcoCabins to minimize environmental impact, maximize natural light, and be cosy and warm. Our EcoCabins offer a taste of tiny house living in our unique West Cork location.
Fahane South & North
Inspired by our original Harbour Garden prototype, Fahane South & North cabins are thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted. Each features a stunning birch ply kitchen and a modern bathroom.
The cabins include a separate bedroom with a king-size bed, along with a comfortable double sofa bed in the living area. A mezzanine sleeping platform provides an additional space suitable for children, allowing the cabins to accommodate up to 4 adults and 1 child.
With breathtaking views across the Atlantic, these cabins offer a truly memorable coastal escape. Built sustainably using SIPS (Structurally Insulated Panels), they provide exceptional energy efficiency—keeping you warm in winter, cool in summer, and surrounded by peaceful comfort year-round.
From €170 per night.
Harbour Garden
Situated in an elevated position to catch the evening sun in our beautiful Harbour Garden, you would hardly believe this EcoCabin is little more than 500m from Goleen main street.
It is ideal for a couple’s getaway but can sleep up to five with a double sofa bed in the living room and child-sized mezzanine bed. The space is light-filled with views down through the garden and across the harbour which you can enjoy from the front deck. In the evening, you can relax by your private fire pit and take in the starry skies.
From €165 per night.
Fastnet & Sherkin
Our stunning, light-filled EcoCabins feature a fully glazed gable end giving panoramic views of the Wild Atlantic, right across to the iconic Fastnet Rock Lighthouse.
From €160 per night.
Facilities
It has a well-equipped kitchen with an induction hob, oven, and fridge; everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
Outside there’s a small, semi-covered deck accessed through the door in the gable end plus a full-length deck on the side. Again, this is perfect for those warm summer nights spent in the company of family and friends as you find yourself mesmerized by the star-filled sky above.
Access to the communal fire pit, Elemental Spa, and Barrel Top event building is only a short stroll away.
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, which capture and sink more carbon than woodlands
- Our 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.
- Sustainability also guides our interior choices. We’ve selected Irish-made Respa 4-star hotel mattresses to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep while supporting local manufacturing.
- Our Geodomes feature furniture from The Sofa Company, a carbon-neutral business that supports traditional furniture-making in Vietnam. Their pieces incorporate recycled fabrics, combining craftsmanship with environmental responsibility.
What to Expect
The paths leading up to the cabins are gravel, but we recommend that you bring suitable footwear for walking the land in muddy conditions.
We want Goleen Harbour to be a restful and relaxing place for all our guests, so Wi-Fi is only available in the Barrel Top main building.
We have a beautiful swimming spot—just off the rocks at Castle Strand. Please note, however, that use of this swimming area is entirely at your own risk!
To help us protect this beautiful place, we ask all guests to leave the area just as they found it. Please do not litter — including cigarette butts — and be cautious to dispose of your waste in the correct bins.
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.
- Pets are allowed in our Fastnet and Sherkin EcoCabins and in our Bell Tents, not in our Fahane EcoCabins or Geodomes.
- 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 Bell tents!
- 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 next guests.
