The Retreat

The Retreat is a purpose built home that can accommodate up to 10 people. Its 5 double bedrooms all have their own individual bathrooms. The main living room was originally used as a restaurant, and is framed by vaulted wooden ceilings and open fire. The commercial grade kitchen adjoins a breakfast room, and is supplied by its very own kitchen garden in the formal courtyard.

The retreat is hooked up to the National Broadband Network, and offers TV, DVD, and Bluetooth stereo. It has board games and a diverse library. Even on rainy days, the Retreat offers something for everyone.

The stunning views of the Gloucester Valley are capped off by in in ground salt water pool.

The property is set on 30 acres of rolling hills, with a dam that is a favourite of local kangaroos and other fauna. The retreat is located next to the rolling hills of the ‘farm’, where horses and other animals frolic. Remember to bring carrots and you may entice the horses for a feed.
