TIPIKATA was established in 2012, after founder Hayley embarked on a trip to Scotland for a long-lost friend’s 40th. Spending the weekend celebrating with friends, old and new, in two gorgeous giant Nordic tipis… she was absolutely captivated! Falling head over heels in love with the tipis, a seed was planted!

Envisaging the tipis in the Australian landscape, Hayley was inspired to bring these beautiful structures to our shores. A little over a year later, TIPIKATA was launched, establishing Victoria’s first tipi hire company!

TIPIKATA is truly a family a business. Having shared her passion with her friends and family, Hayley snapped up brother in law, Phil as TIPIKATA’s Operations Manager. When it came time for her to move on, Phil, Ursula (Hayley’s sister) and Juliette their eldest daughter were excited at the opportunity to keep this amazing business in the family.

We have taken TIPIKATA to new heights, expanding and revitalising our products and services. We are passionate about bringing your visions to life and creating unforgettable memories. We take pride in every single event, big or small, and we’ll go above and beyond to make your day special!

Our beautiful Nordic tipis continue to amaze us with their versatility. Whatever your vision – an intimate elopement, an unforgettable wed-fest, a striking corporate event or a relaxed gathering – our tipis will only enhance your event. We can’t wait to hear from you!
