MUCH LOVED AMENITIES
Country House Retreat is a spacious, modern home designed with relaxation and entertainment in mind. Much loved holiday features include an expansive entertainment deck with wood-fired pizza oven, Weber Family BBQ, and outdoor dining. Enjoying stunning views over the peaceful dam and the rolling pastures that surround the property, the deck is the ideal spot for alfresco meals, sunset cocktails, or simply soaking in the tranquility of the countryside over a morning brew.
For year-round relaxation, soak in the 6-person outdoor heated spa, where you can unwind under the stars or after a day of exploring. The spa appeals to young and old alike, offering a fun way to relax together in this private and serene setting.
The home’s layout includes ramp access for wheelchairs and handrails in the ensuite bathroom, ensuring accessibility and comfort for all guests. We also have a range of mobility aids available upon request, including mobile hoist and hospital bed.
COMFORTABLE SPACIOUS HOME
With four well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests. The main bedroom is a luxurious retreat, featuring a king-size bed, a walk-in robe, and a sublime ensuite that offers gorgeous views of the native bushland. The spacious ensuite features a double walk in shower, high-end fixtures, and ample space.
Two additional bedrooms are fitted with trilogy bunks—double beds with a single bunk above—ideal for kids, teenagers, or extra guests. The fourth bedroom offers a queen size bed, with views overlooking the native bush. All bedrooms feature block out blinds for undisturbed sleep.
The fully equipped open plan kitchen is stocked with everything you need to feel like you're cooking in your own home. Whether you're slow-cooking, stir-frying, or baking, the cooktop, oven, and microwave make it easy to prepare meals. There’s plenty of plastic ware for little ones, and outdoor dining is a breeze with everything you need to dine al fresco, or prepare a pizza feast!
For your convenience, we provide salt and pepper, cooking spray, foil, and cling wrap, so you don't need to worry about packing these essentials. Enjoy your meals in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, where you can admire the stunning countryside views from every window. Start your day right with our Nespresso machine and tea selection, to get your holiday off to a great start.
When the cooler months roll in, the cosy log fire creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. We provide all the wood you’ll need for those chilly nights. Alternatively, you can enjoy instant warmth and comfort with the split system air conditioning.
When it's time to wind down, the plush leather sofa in the living area is the perfect spot to relax. Catch up on your favourite shows on the 55-inch HD TV or get the music playing through the portable speaker—it's your time to unwind in total privacy and peace. And of course, we’ve got all the modern comforts, including deluxe hotel-quality linen and towels to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.
For stays longer than seven nights, we provide fresh linen and towels at no extra charge, keeping your stay convenient and hassle-free.
PETS WELCOME
We know that pets are part of the family, which is why we welcome your four-legged friends to join you at Country House Retreat. Clean and flea-free pets are welcome, but they must be past the chewing phase. Pets are allowed in the house and can stay in non-carpeted areas, ensuring a clean environment for all guests.
Your pets will love the secure, fenced yard, where they can roam freely and safely. For pets who enjoy the outdoors, we also offer a chain dog run adjacent to the homestead, giving your furry companions plenty of space to stretch their legs. We do ask that you clean up after your pets, and provide a scooper and bags for your convenience.
Please note that any additional cleaning required or damage caused by pets will incur a charge, so we ask you to be mindful of the property.
