Escape to the Country

ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY AT HUNTER RIVER RETREAT.

If your looking to leave the city behind and unwind on the deck of your own private rustic cottage with stunning views, to sit back and sip a glass of fine Hunter Valley wine and do nothing but soak up the peace and serenity.

Perhaps a picnic on the mountain with a loved one, bush walking on our many trails, spotting local wildlife including our kangaroos and wallabies or feeding our farm animals interest you, then picturesque Hunter River Retreat is for you.

Hunter River Retreat is situated on 110 acres and approx. 2 hrs from Sydney, 15 minutes from Maitland, with boutique wineries close by and the main Hunter Valley wineries approx. 30 minutes away. Full Day Bus Winery Tours can also be organized that pick up from The Retreat - you can taste and not worry about driving.

Goanna Lodge is a private fully self-contained cabin with a huge deck, gourmet BBQ and stunning views which makes entertaining or a family get togethers on the deck a must.

The Goanna lodge has 3 bedrooms, the main bedroom featuring a queen bed, and a glass sliding door leading to the third bedroom, will be loved by the children and features a double bed and a loft bed above, along with a tv and dvd player.

Great location, quiet place and a beautiful vintage style cottage
Overall we had a fantastic experience, the place was very cosy, comfortable and beautiful. The host also very responsive and helpful as we lost the power and they had fixed it with less than 5 minutes. Price wise was also reasonably cheap for the long weekend stay.

Great stay
Great short stay. The house has everything you need. Kitchen essentials needs to be upgraded and cleanliness of property was poor. Overall had a good stay with my husband and 5 kids. Very remote and private property which we loved.
