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.

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.
Amelia, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a great place for an escape into the rainforest. The cabin we had is with two bedrooms and a private hot tub. The kids had so much fun with the hot tub. We had lots of rain during our stay. Overnight we can hear the sound of the rain in the quiet woods. It just felt so nice. This place is also within walking discount to one mile beach. We went to the beach each afternoon during our stay. Kids enjoyed looking for crabs and playing with sands and water. Within a very short few minutes drive we could go to sand boarding places,dauphin watch cruise and koala sanctuary. No effort at all for driving. Before I booked i saw some reviews saying the place is not clean or the toilet smelt bad. But it didn’t happen to our cabin at all. Our cabin is well cleaned before we went in. Toilet also had no bad smell at all. The cabin is a bit old but that is within our expectations. The only thing we would want for an upgrade is the dinning table. It is a small table for 4 people and we have 5 of us so we can not have dinner together. But apart from that everything else is perfect and we highly recommend it for everyone who wants a quite escape into the rain forest. The property manager is very nice and polite.

Spa was amazing at night time, looking up at the stars. Possums were very friendly followed us around everywhere & eat out of your hands.

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.
Graham, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

3/5 because we had to kill 3 cockroaches in our first hour there. They were coming out of the dishwasher and we had to stuff a towel to keep them from coming. Definitely something the owner should address. I understand it's a nature reserve and you will get some bugs but to have the cockroaches coming like that is not normal. Also, it would be good if there was a fan in the bedrooms.
Christos, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The environment was beautiful and quiet with no road noise which allowed you to hear the lovely sound of local bird life. We feel this property was once upon a time a little slice of luxury. While it seems to be still priced for luxury, it’s a little tired and very dated. Blinds and bathroom grout were mouldy, the furniture lacquer was sticky, the kitchen cupboards had a funky smell, the mattress was not the most comfortable and the kitchen utilities are in need of an update. The owner advised on arrival that the previous owners had removed a main window blind which meant the morning sun shined directly onto your face in bed when it rose. We wouldn’t have booked had we known this. We simply think it was overpriced for what it offers.
