About this property

Benwerrin Rainforest Retreat

Set high among the trees in a peaceful rainforest setting, this secluded retreat offers tranquillity, privacy, and an immersive nature escape. Expect birdsong-filled mornings, cool forest breezes, and peaceful nights under the stars. Perfect for those seeking a quiet break away from everyday life.

Inside, the main dwelling features two comfortable bedrooms: one with a queen bed and another with twin singles, both equipped with study desks. A separate studio dwelling includes a king bedroom with its own ensuite, offering added privacy for couples or extra guests. The main bathroom includes a shower–bath combo and a separate toilet. A fully equipped kitchen provides essential appliances and cookware for easy meal preparation, while the open-plan lounge offers a cosy space to relax with a TV and smart entertainment.

Outdoors, a spacious deck and balcony overlook panoramic mountain and bush views, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. The property sits within expansive natural bushland with off-street parking for four vehicles. A BBQ connected to the house is available for guest use, and the separate self-contained studio adds flexibility for groups or families. Surrounded by wildlife and forest, the entire retreat delivers a peaceful, private ambience.

This is an off-grid and reliant on solar-battery for electricity and tank for water. So cooperation in using power and water wisely would be appreciated. No electric vehicle charging. Charging is available in Winchelsea and Lorne.
