Relaxing getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in the 4 bedroom beach cottage.The rainforest setting and the spa was so relaxing. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and it's in a great location away from the crowds but just a short walk to the beach. I would definitely stay again.

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.

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.

Rainforest setting close to surf beach

A set of well spaced private feeling accommodations in original rainforest. Wildlife including possums and a large sizers on our path came free. Very comfortable beds. Good Weber bbq. We made good use of the hot tub. The owners were very friendly and gave lots of helpful travel advice.
