About this property

Relax in a beautiful private peaceful setting 5 minute drive from Beechworth

With a rustic exterior yet modern interior, Candlebark Retreat is a cosy self-contained cottage situated on 150 acres of beautiful farmland, with stunning bushland views. It offers privacy and peace, with all the conveniences you could want. Open plan with a queen sized bed with quality cotton linen. Wake to the sounds of abundant birdlife in the native garden. Go for a stroll in the vineyard nearby, or wander a little further to meet the sheep and beautiful horses Charlie (our Clydesdale-cross) and Banjo. We are a five minute drive from historic Beechworth, with its many restaurants, cafes and shops to explore. Natural attractions in the vicinity include the spectacular Woolshed Falls, Mount Pilot (perfect for viewing the surrounding country with a picnic and bottle of champagne) and the Box Ironbark National Park. You will be back!

simple yet nice, offering a peaceful and uncluttered atmosphere

This place is a delightful retreat, perfect for a short stay. The self-equipped kitchen is ideal for preparing meals, and you'll be warmly greeted by Salty, the friendly dog, and two horses. A small plot of vineyard adds to the charm, along with plenty of open space to relax. Enjoy evenings by the fire pit, hosted by the kind and friendly host who ensures you are well looked after. The comfy bed and cottage-like ambiance make it a truly cozy and inviting escape.

Tranquillity, Comfort and Nature

We spent three glorious nights at Candlebark Retreat for a birthday getaway. Set in a serene location, this splendid property is located close to the attractions of Beechworth. At Candle Bark you will have exclusive access to the stars, the silence and the cottage garden, BBQ, birds (bring binoculars) a library of books and DVD’s and a fire pit in a private setting punctuated only with the welcome and brief visit of Salty the resident dog to check your safe arrival. If you want privacy and connect with nature in a comfortable setting, this is the place for you. The view of the surrounding hills envelopes you like a warm hug, a protective barrier from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The quote from the movie ‘The Castle’ kept coming into my mind when I was soaking in the view. It was all about the Serenity. It was the perfect place to return to every evening after cycling the Murray to Mountains rail trail. The bed and linen made for a comfortable night’s sleep. The nights are quiet, and the wine from the vineyard meant we were well-rested to start the next day. This property is not too remote, and the lovely hosts (Fleur and Digby) are only a phone call away should you need anything.The cottage is very well appointed, very clean and comfortable. The detail and upkeep of the grounds are evident in the special feeling this place gives you. I highly recommend Candle Bark retreat.

Candlebark was perfect, everything as expected and more.

Absolutely loved my stay at Candlebark!

A lovely relaxing stay, I thoroughly enjoyed having my dinner each night at the table outside, looking out over the valley as the stars came to life. Only a 5 min drive into Beechworth. Will definitely look to stay there again. Many thanks to host Fleur and her furry helpers, Salty, Banjo, Big Charlie and Paegan.

Amazing!!!

Had the most incredible stay at candlebark. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the cottage has so much character and comfort to it. Fleur and Digby are awesome hosts, who go above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend it more :) the more fire pit was a personal favourite, with a beautiful view of the stars

This is a terrific place to get away from it all, the property is ideal for two adults, close to Beechworth and surrounded by nature. The hosts are close by but in no way intrusive.

Delightful retreat just out of Beechworth

A well needed sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle. After a trying and tiring day it was lovely to be met by a friendly face offering a calm and peaceful spot among the bird songs. Had a great nights sleep and went on refreshed the next day.

Our stay at Candlebark Cottage was amazing. It’s a beautiful set-up in a peaceful location.

The cottage is literally next door to the vineyard which we took a stroll through. There’s cute benches set-up in front of the paddock, perfect for relaxing on and watching the sky change as the sun came down. The 2 horses came right up to the fence for a pat. The cottage itself was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed for a quiet little getaway. Fluer was very friendly and helpful, recommending a swimming spot only a short drive from the property. We would 100% come back and stay.

Beautiful views, relaxing stay

We had a great stay at Candlebark. The cottage was very cosy and well equipped. The location was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet with lovely views. The hosts were also wonderful, very accommodating in making sure we had what we needed and going above and beyond to return some items we left behind. Thanks very much for a great stay!

A relaxing place to go for 'service and repair'

We throroughly enjoyed our stay at Candlebark. It was so quiet and peaceful, just what we needed to recharge the batteries after a few very busy months of work. We loved it so much that we sent our kids there for a weekend to celebrate the end of their Science degrees. And we will definitely be going back. Fleur is amazing! Super organised and so helpful. This is going to be our home away from home.
