Far away from the maddening crowd. Pack the car full of supplies, then park up for a few days and enjoy the peace and quiet. You can do as much or as little as you want. Basic but spacious accommodation and good facilities all backed up by the very friendly and helpful owners. Perfect spot for a bit of R&R.

By the time you drive through the bushland you are afraid of what to expect once you arrive. It was late when I finally did find the resort & the office was closed. I had however called ahead to let them know I would be late. It was not a problem with the key to my cabin in an envelope... More

We booked in to stay at Waterfront Retreat for two nights. We arrived late after a long drive from Melbourne and found our way to our lodge. First impression was good ... just about everything you could want ... just about! The place was very quiet, clean and peaceful but, oh the bed ... it was soooo hard! I ended... More

Wattle Point retreat is a beauty. Often retreats that are described as secluded offer up accommodation and surrounds which are basic but our place at Wattle Point - Ivanhoe Cabin - was clean and had everything needed for my wife and I to enjoy a comfortable weekend away. For those who simply want to re-energise, this place is the tonic.... More

We stayed for a weekend for a private function, but we wished we had more time to stay and relax. The location could not be better, so peaceful and relaxing. There are a herd of friendly kangaroos that pop by to say hello. The management even gives you seed to feed them and the local birds. Accommodation is great, although... More

We won a competition for 2 nights at Waterfront Retreat, what a find!! This place is well off the main roads, away from everything, it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, it is superb. A beautiful waterfront setting, your own fully self contained home (we stayed in Stormbird, which had water views). Kayak, canoes, DVD's, heated pool,... More

We've stayed at Wattle Point twice now, and will definitely be back again soon. The cabins are well appointed and spacious and set far enough apart that you don't have to listen to, or even see, your neighbours if you don't wish to. The facilities are just fantastic and the surrounding bush is lovely too. I suggest bringing most of... More

Great place to relax with a swim in the indoor pool, mineral spring spa, sit on jetty to watch sunrises & sunsets over the water or just watch the wildlife fly, hop or swim past. Then retire to watch the flames dance in the log fire as you sip your favourite drink. If you want to be more active then... More

This retreat consists of little houses set among beautiful bush gardens near a lake. The facilities include bikes, boats and a lovely heated indoor pool, sauna and spa. Wallabies are a bonus and came to visit us each evening. The resort is remote from town, but once you have your supplies there is no need to leave. Everything is provided,... More

We stayed here recently, we actually love the place, BUT the last stay we had which was in was the Avon, (we didnt really find this problem in the other lodges) and I did not get one decent nights sleep, the bed was soooo hard it was like sleeping on concrete. The lodge itself was quite good, there was firewood,... More
