A white tent catches morning light on the ridge. Mist clings to the valley below. The camera rolls.
This is how Oztent chose to introduce their latest product to the world—not in a studio, not on a generic beach, but here at Sēlah Valley Estate, where 430 acres of ancient volcanic landscape tells a story no soundstage can replicate.
Why Oztent Chose Sēlah Valley
The Oztent team needed more than pretty scenery. They needed a location that captured the essence of Australian camping—wild, beautiful, accessible. A place where their product would feel at home.
They found it here.
Mountain View campsite opens the video. The Border Ranges stretch into blue distance. Wollumbin (Mt Warning) rises on the horizon, ancient and unmistakable. The tent sits exactly where our guests pitch theirs—same wooden platform, same view that catches first light in Australia.
Hidden Creek appears throughout the film. Clear water over smooth stones. The kind of swimming hole you thought only existed in childhood memories. Our crew swam here between takes. So will you.
The rock pools shimmer in afternoon light. Natural swimming carved by centuries of flowing water. Cool, clean, surrounded by rainforest. The camera loves them. So do families who discover them on hot summer days.
The Real Star: The Location
What makes this video work isn't just the tent. It's the backdrop that sells the dream.
Watch the light shift through the canopy. See the mist lift from the valley floor. Notice how the landscape dwarfs the camp setup in the best possible way—a reminder that we're small, nature is vast, and that's exactly the point of getting out here.
The Oztent team explored every corner of the property. Shot at sunrise. Shot at golden hour. Captured the creek in morning stillness and afternoon sparkle.
"We needed somewhere that felt genuinely remote but was actually accessible," their producer explained. "Sēlah delivered both. Forty minutes from Gold Coast Airport, but it feels like you've driven hours into the wilderness."
What This Means for Guests

Hidden Creek flows through the property year-round. Follow the trail from the Creekside Lodge. Find the swimming hole past the second bend. It's as clear and cold as it looks on camera.
The rock pools wait downstream. Bring a towel. Spend an afternoon. Let the current carry the week away.

The Oztent Video
Watch the full product launch video above. Notice the valley views at dawn. The creek swimming. The way the tent glows at twilight against the darkening ranges.
This is Sēlah Valley. This is what 430 acres of protected wilderness looks like when you let it speak for itself.
The Oztent team understood something simple: the best locations don't compete with your product. They elevate it.
