Our cabin was nicely presented, tastefully decorated, cosy cottage. The balcony area was large, and we were surrounded by large, peaceful gardens. Host Anthony was very considerate and welcoming. The kids spent ages in the pool and had heaps of fun. Thanks for a great holiday.

The wanderers retreat is a lovely spot. We will definitely be back. It was only a short drive to the town centre but felt like you were out in your own private rainforest. There was so much wildlife. A magpie family that visit several times a day, kookaburras and even a couple of cheeky possums.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoy our stay here. A very quiet area surrounded by wonderful nature. Perfect to relax. The spa bath was exceptional, just gutted we couldn’t use it on the last day because of a storm. We didn’t have a car so moving around seemed challenging, however, the local bus services run every hour, so with careful planning you can explore the area even without your own vehicle. The host was super nice and always happy to help and his senior dog for me was probably the best thing about the entire experience. This lovely pup came to chill with us and nap on the porch, and she gave us so much love! Wish I could have stayed longer, this place absolutely deserves a visit. When in the area don’t forget to visit One Mile Beach, Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay, and Nelson Bay.
