About this property
★Wombat Forest Country Retreat★
Welcome to Wombat Forest Country Retreat — a place to slow down, breathe deeply and soak up the beauty of the countryside. Tucked away in the rolling landscapes of Trentham East, our retreat offers a comfortable and modern space with peaceful views across farmland, forest and water. Wake to the sound of birdsong, enjoy your morning coffee on the back deck, cook a hearty meal in the fully equipped kitchen, or curl up with a book by the window as the sun sets. This is a place where you can truly unwind — read, rest, wander through the trees, or simply enjoy the quiet. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a creative retreat, or a country adventure, we hope you’ll feel right at home.
The space • Light-filled open-plan living and dining area with sweeping views • Fully equipped kitchen — ideal for cooking up hearty breakfasts or country dinners • Covered back deck with outdoor seating for sunsets, stargazing or a cuppa with the birds • One private bedroom with queen bed and ensuite bathroom • A versatile daybed in the lounge that can be used for reading and relaxing, or converted into a king-size bed, allowing the Retreat to accommodate up to four guests (all sharing the ensuite)
The Retreat is attached to our main house and has: • Its own driveway and parking area • A private entrance with no shared internal spaces You’re also welcome to enjoy the large grassy backyard, which backs onto three acres of beautiful trees, gardens, and ponds — perfect for exploring at your leisure.
