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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Spa was amazing at night time, looking up at the stars. Possums were very friendly followed us around everywhere & eat out of your hands.
Joshua, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Yan, 3-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.
