Our cabin was nicely presented, tastefully decorated, cosy cottage. The balcony area was large, and we were surrounded by large, peaceful gardens. Host Anthony was very considerate and welcoming. The kids spent ages in the pool and had heaps of fun. Thanks for a great holiday.

Relaxing getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in the 4 bedroom beach cottage.The rainforest setting and the spa was so relaxing. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and it's in a great location away from the crowds but just a short walk to the beach. I would definitely stay again.

The wanderers retreat is a lovely spot. We will definitely be back. It was only a short drive to the town centre but felt like you were out in your own private rainforest. There was so much wildlife. A magpie family that visit several times a day, kookaburras and even a couple of cheeky possums.

We really enjoy our stay here. A very quiet area surrounded by wonderful nature. Perfect to relax. The spa bath was exceptional, just gutted we couldn’t use it on the last day because of a storm. We didn’t have a car so moving around seemed challenging, however, the local bus services run every hour, so with careful planning you can explore the area even without your own vehicle. The host was super nice and always happy to help and his senior dog for me was probably the best thing about the entire experience. This lovely pup came to chill with us and nap on the porch, and she gave us so much love! Wish I could have stayed longer, this place absolutely deserves a visit. When in the area don’t forget to visit One Mile Beach, Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay, and Nelson Bay.

The Wanderer’s Retreat is an eco-friendly and perfect retreat accommodation suitable for families, couples and groups. The property is nestled in a serene rainforest environment and a short walk to One Mile Beach. We stayed in a self-contained tree house cottage with a spa bath that could fit at least two adults. We had a well-appointed, clean and spacious unit with a private parking space underneath for one vehicle. More remarkably than ever, we had a comfortable and relaxing one-night stay. We needed peace and quiet, and we got what we wished for. The queen bed was large for a couple and conducive to a good night sleep. Room amenities had a balance of luxury and environment sustainability. Foremost, our host Antony presented as a warm and friendly person who reflected the laidback Australian hospitality that we love and revere so much. This property is the place to be for a straightforward rest-and-relax staycation without breaking the bank!
