Wanderers Retreat

I loved the serenityWe were met by the . was really informative and polite.Facilities are great. Ifyou take some groceries you can cook on the deck and not leave at all.The spa was beautiful at night where you can sit in there and watch the possums come down to eat.Highly recommend to stay here.

Wonderful place, boathouse was so spacious and comfortable. very very clean. Manger really nice with lots of useful tips. Kids loved the pool, beach was near by. Highly rerecorded!

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.

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.

Cost place hidden in the trees. Fantastic deep spa.

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.

We had a big group so we had rented the Beach House which was more than enough for our group of 8. It came with two parking slots perfect for us and due to the location(at the end of Koala place), there is ample street parking available. The retreat is superb, with ample greenery and space between cabins in stark contrast to other resorts in the area and just under a leisurely 10 mins walk from the beach. On the EV charging front, there are 4 Type 2 charging ports with rating up to 22kWh. I suggest setting up the Everty account before hand*. We had a Sea Lion 7 which charges at max 11kWh and worked fine. They also provide equipment for sand boarding and other water activities, so honestly you save a lot of cash on that front. *- We had a slight issue charging our EV on the first night, but it worked the next morning. At this point I can only guess our account which was created minutes before attempting to charge at the time was the issue. More importantly the hosts were always available to help diagnose the issue, he even got a neighbour to test the charger.

Perfect, quiet bush land setting with an easy walk to the beach plus access to on site pool and private spa. Would absolutely stay again.

The Wanderer’s Retreat is an eco-friendly and perfect retreat accommodation suitable for families, couples and groups. The property is nestled in a serene rainforest environment and a short walk to One Mile Beach. We stayed in a self-contained tree house cottage with a spa bath that could fit at least two adults. We had a well-appointed, clean and spacious unit with a private parking space underneath for one vehicle. More remarkably than ever, we had a comfortable and relaxing one-night stay. We needed peace and quiet, and we got what we wished for. The queen bed was large for a couple and conducive to a good night sleep. Room amenities had a balance of luxury and environment sustainability. Foremost, our host Antony presented as a warm and friendly person who reflected the laidback Australian hospitality that we love and revere so much. This property is the place to be for a straightforward rest-and-relax staycation without breaking the bank!

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.

Wanderers retreat tree house accommodation was clean and amazing. Better than what the pictures are displayed on expedia.

Amazing stay inside forest area. Comfortable and clean

Very nice, clean and quite place to stay. We loved our stay and will definitely go again:)

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.

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.

We stayed with our three children for four nights. We were surprised by what we found - a very basic cabin with a drop toilet (not the luxury accommodation and composting toilet that was advertised). Initially, the owners were very nice but things started to go downhill. Beds are very uncomfortable. Since the units aren\'t cleaned regularly, the toilet started to have bugs, and the smell became much more noticeable. I did two loads of washing...despite the fact that they advertise a communal laundry, the female owner was extremely passive aggressive and locked the laundry door behind me when I left. It remained locked for the entirety of the next day and the next morning. There were a number of families staying at the property and some of the children had broken a fabric thing hanging over the pool and the male owner marched up to my husband and said "I\'m pretty sure your children are the ones who destroyed this". It was definitely a group effort among all the children, and the blame doesn\'t rest solely on us. But, if you have accommodation that children are staying at, you can\'t blame them for making a game out of something flashy you have hanging over the pool. We felt so uncomfortable that we actually discussed leaving a night early. The beach nearby was wonderful and the setting was lovely. Shame about the owners and the false advertisement of the accommodation.

Weekend away with the partner I don’t think we could have booked a better place. Room was amazing and the location was nice, quiet and peaceful. This was just what we both needed. Highly recommend and will be returning in the future

I would highly recommend this property it is in a serene peaceful and tranquil place to stay Cabins are beautiful and very comfortable

Basic accomodatie maar alles is aanwezig. Prima badkamer en keuken. Buiten gewoon mooie locatie, alsof je middenin het regenwoud zit. Loopafstand van het strand.

Beautiful nature, quiet, convenient to One Mile Beach. Antony was helpful. Facilities were comfortable.

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.

Prefect place to sit back and relax. Close by to everything you'd need and an easy walk to the beach. Will be staying again that is for sure.
