Description

An 1895 Australian country homestead, Wagon Wheels Country Retreat is set in the Illawarra escarpment surrounded on three sides by National Park and close to the ocean.

Premium holiday accommodation for all seasons in our homestead, lovely woodlands, rain forest, horses, birds, wild life, a private gate to picturesque Kelly's Falls 4 minutes walk away. Perfect for quiet bush walks and private picnics.

In spring or summer, cool off in the large in-ground pool and lie in the shade of huge, leafy trees or wander down the 160 foot long wisteria colonnade. Visit the beautiful beaches only 5 minutes drive away.

In autumn or winter, come and enjoy the sunny verandahs and roaring log fires. Get away from your busy work schedule and completely relax in a farm setting. Watch the animals wander around the eucalypt woodlands.

Wagon Wheels has a huge ballroom fully restored to original state with all modern conveniences, air-conditioning, TVs, DVDs, all view windows looking over the estate, circular drive with immense fountain and stone fish pond.

For some light activity, follow the winding lonesome trail to Kellys Falls, the jogging track or try the mini-gym. A unique stone access bridge and wrought iron gates give complete privacy and Wagon Wheels would suit film stars or just us ordinary folks needing a welcome break away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. The property is an oasis in Suburbia set on the pristine escarpment.

Guest Reviews

 
  • "The waterfall is not to be missed and the lack of any tourist and having this as your private playground made it even more special. With our personal guide (the host Geoff ) we got some true treats :) Excellent location at a reasonable price. We enjoyed our break from the city life with this friendly and helpful host. Would highly recommend and stay again. Thanks "

  • "I booked the whole homestead for a week...we looked forward to a relaxing time with lots of fresh air and peace. When we got there we all loved the beautiful and very peaceful surroundings, the pool, the animals, the whole beauty of the place. We enjoyed the escorted walk through nature and the Lonesome Trail, to Kellys Falls and the cave. Thank you for sharing your beautiful homestead with us Geoffery!!!! "
