Welcome to Wombat Forest Country Retreat!
A comfortable and modern country retreat on a rural property. Large, light and airy open living space with views out over farmland, forest and water. The Retreat has a fully equipped, spacious kitchen and covered back deck with outdoor furniture. The Retreat provides 1 bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. There is an additional king-size day bed in the lounge, so up to 4 people can be accommodated, all sharing the single ensuite bathroom.
The Retreat is attached to the main building, it has separate guest driveway, parking and a private entrance. There are no shared internal areas. There is a large grassy backyard which backs on to 3 acres of magnificent trees and ponds that you are free to explore. We do however ask that guests do not enter the adjoining market gardens without permission.
There is a flat screen TV with free-to-air channels and a variety of DVDs, books and board games to keep you entertained. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can make yourself a hearty breakfast or a home-cooked dinner. You can also buy a box of the freshest veggies straight from our market garden!
The Retreat is nestled in Trentham East - an idyllic rural setting between the Macedon Ranges and Hepburn Springs surrounded by farm lands and bordering the Wombat State Forest. Open green pastures, towering forests and wonderful country lanes abound.

The property is about 8 km out of Trentham in a very quiet setting. Big picture windows bring the outside in, even in bad weather as we experienced. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Photos are accurate. We would recommend to anyone looking for a break from the city for a few days. Thanks for everything

Very comfortable, with everything considered - and beautiful garden views
A perfect base for our trips to Trentham, Wood End, Kyneton and various wineries. The house was immaculately clean and very well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable and the living area even nicer than it looked in the photos. So good to look out at the beautiful garden and catch the sunset.

Beautiful, countryside stay close to Trentham
We recently stayed for the weekend with our 6 year old son and were very impressed with the accommodation, location and our hosts! The house had all the facilities we needed, was very comfortable and clean and was only a short drive to Trentham for dinner. The property itself was beautiful with lots of wonderful birdlife. Thank you for a very relaxing stay and would highly recommend this to others!
