Simply lovely place to stay if you're after a weekend escape from the city or a base to explore the area. The bush comes right up to the veranda and we spent most of the trip simply sitting on the deck listening to the cockatoos and watching the most amazing variety of birdlife. The kangaroos came by in the evening complete with a joey in mums pouch much to our delight. There are lovely little trails to explore and some great maps in the house manual for a more in-depth expedition exploring the area. It's so quiet, peaceful and private and we had a great time just relaxing. I completely recommend the Bush Retreat, and would stay again. :)
