A delight!
Our stay in Wigley Retreat was too short! It provided the respite we so needed after a busy and challenging time and allowed us to completely turn off. Clean, cosy, beautifully provisioned and we loved sitting on the veranda watching the birds!

Relaxing beautiful cottage
Relaxing spot right on the edge of the river, very private Styled beautifully, recently renovated Only downer was in photos there was a bath in bathroom, but in must be old photos as the cottage no longer has a bath. Which would of been very nice as that’s one of the reasons I booked the cottage Apart from that we loved the spot, host was super nice, bacon and eggs in the fridge along with a fresh home made loaf of bread Highly recommend

What a lovely piece of "Australiana." The thick walls and tin roof - and then the river which was the icing on top. Hubby couldn't resist throwing a line into the river - just for fun. At times the river was like glass. Perfection!

Self imposed Silent Retreat
I loved this place. The ease of finding Wigley Retreat was great. The home which was steeped in history was the perfect place to regroup my inner self. I loved the front door tread that has worn down from centuries of people walking in and out. The bed was noted in the guest book many times about how comfortable it was, i emphatically agree. The bed was soft and warm and enveloped when you laid down. I cannot explain how a simple pleasure of this bed gave me such peace. The small touches of warm welcoming by Graham & Elsbeth were noticed and appreciated very much. I highly highly recommend 'Wigley retreat' as a solitude haven for those seeking a chance to reconnect. Thank you Graham & Elsbeth for sharing this gem. Jo

How amazingly peaceful. We could have easily stayed here much longer. The cottage is so lovely and the setting is just perfect. It is certainly a place for relaxing and unwinding, which we did. The bed was very comfortable too. The lovely extra touches were wonderful. If you want privacy, relaxation and getting away from it all, this is the spot for you. Will highly recommend to others. Thank you
