The Retreat is a captivating getaway for couples, families and friends, less than 10 minutes north of Gloucester.

The Retreat

The Retreat is a purpose built home that can accommodate up to 10 people. Its 5 double bedrooms all have their own individual bathrooms. The main living room was originally used as a restaurant, and is framed by vaulted wooden ceilings and open fire. The commercial grade kitchen adjoins a breakfast room, and is supplied by its very own kitchen garden in the formal courtyard.

The retreat is hooked up to the National Broadband Network, and offers TV, DVD, and Bluetooth stereo. It has board games and a diverse library. Even on rainy days, the Retreat offers something for everyone.

The stunning views of the Gloucester Valley are capped off by in in ground salt water pool.

The property is set on 30 acres of rolling hills, with a dam that is a favourite of local kangaroos and other fauna. The retreat is located next to the rolling hills of the ‘farm’, where horses and other animals frolic. Remember to bring carrots and you may entice the horses for a feed.

Beautiful place to stay!
This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this property and it doesn’t disappoint. The house has plenty of rooms and space, and the view outside is amazing. We have gone during summer both times and the pool naturally warms up to a very nice temperature. We also enjoyed feeding carrots to, and patting the horses. It was just the relaxing holiday away from busy Sydney and work that we needed to recharge. We will be back for sure!

Perfect escape for the family
This property is stunning! From the moment you enter, the atmosphere is inviting and the relaxed vibe takes over. As a family of five with a teenager, tween and younger child, the house was more than enough space to please everyone. The kids enjoyed the pool, feeding carrots to the horses and going out for dinner in nearby Gloucester. The views were stunning and it was warm enough to swim and cold enough at night to use the wonderful open fireplace. We even fired up the barbecue on our final night. Comfortable and spacious, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, we'll be back!
