Great weekend away

This is a great property to stay in. Absolutely decked out with all you could need. The pool was great and the barn was such a great area to hang out in. The check in hamper was much appreciated and super tasty. Will definitely be coming again.

Beautiful family home full of comfort and fun!

Being so close to the city, but totally out in the country, this amazing home has all you need to have a good time, feel comfortable with a fire, have fun in the pool/spa and make memories in the games barn. A special treat and the most incredible hosts! The only sad part was having leave. We’ll be back!

Perfect Family Getaway

Wildwood Retreat exceeded every expectation. The house is spacious, beautifully furnished, and immaculately clean. The well-manicured grounds have everything that is needed to entertain a large family with children, including a huge barn entertaining area, pool, half basketball court, trampoline, scooters, and playground with sandpit. The property manager, Narelle, provided a warm welcome to her property with an amazing food hamper which was filled with more delicious treats than we could eat in a single sitting; a lovely bottle of wine; and a thoughtful birthday card and gift for our guest of honour for the weekend. In summary, Wildwood Retreat was a wonderful location for our family holiday. Thank you very much for accommodating us, Narelle.

Great escape

The acreage provides great privacy and it was great to relax but also be active in the pool. The "barn" was a great entertainment zone and the dog had a ball running around too. Thoroughly recommend this place to anyone and the house had all the trimmings for a relaxing and comfortable stay

Host & House was amazing

Narelle & Alan were fantastic to deal with. Location far enough to getaway from to unwind. House was clean and cosy. The barn was everything that was expected in the images. Pool and Jacuzzi was even better with no neighbours at night! Upon arrival the bbq didn't work however Alan was kind enough to return within the hour with a brand new bbq. Highly recommend!
