About this property

Blackwood Bush Retreat

This idyllic country home is situated on a beautiful 100-acre bush property. The home includes 3 bedrooms with queen size beds, an ensuite and a main bathroom including toilet, shower & bathtub. The hexagonal living area includes a country-style kitchen, dining room & stunning views of the surrounding garden & bushland from a cosy lounge room. Enjoy bush walks on the property, visit local attractions or just relax & enjoy the peace & quiet!

Blackwood Bush Retreat is situated in a valley of natural bushland which you are welcome to explore at your leisure. Visit the creek that flows through the property, go for bushwalks and keep an eye out for the many varieties of wildlife that call this place home – wallabies, echidnas, wombats, kangaroos, goannas, possums and over 50 species of birds just to name a few.
There are several acres of privately fenced garden and a wood fired BBQ with outdoor seating – perfect for a daytime picnic or spending an evening stargazing with a glass of wine!
If you'd prefer to have a relaxing night inside, you can sit and relax by the fire or watch a movie on one of the streaming services.
All bedrooms, lounge room, dining room and kitchen have air-conditioning, so you can be sure to sleep comfortably on hot nights!

Aaron and Jess’s homes are located in close proximity to Blackwood Bush Retreat, so they can be called upon in short notice if you need assistance with anything. Guests often comment on how quiet and peaceful it is in the valley, but of course family life continues for us whilst you’re staying at the property. All windows in Blackwood Bush Retreat are double-glazed, so you can be sure to go about your business in the privacy of your accommodation.
