About this property

Clyde River Retreat (Carisbrook Lodge)

Nestled along the upper reaches of the Clyde River (the cleanest and most pristine waterway in Eastern Australia) lies the Clyde River Retreat – a haven of beauty, peace and tranquility. The perfect place to stay if you want to visit Pigeon House, The Castle or any of the other spectacular locations in Morton National Park or Budawang National Park.

We have 3 cabins for rent on 90 acres, for up to 14 guests.

Note that you do not need a 4WD just to get to the retreat, but you may need one to explore some areas such as the National Parks.

The Clyde River Retreat is surrounded on all sides by State Forest and National Park, kilometres from the nearest neighbours (other than the native wildlife) it is a perfect place to get away from it all.

With over half a kilometre of river frontage, the retreat is perfect for fishing or swimming in the Clyde river, bush-walking in the local forests, or for use as a launching point for exploring the surrounding national parks.

For artists, writers and musicians, the retreat offers something unique – an unspoilt environment and a simple lifestyle that will recharge your creative energies and enrich your artistic endeavors.

The retreat has three separate cabins that can accommodate up to sixteen people – perfect for special-interest groups who need a place free from all distractions from the outside world.

Or for anyone who just needs a place of unparalleled privacy and seclusion, to de-stress or de-tox periodically.

Tranquil retreat by the Upper Clyde River

A special place to stay where we could bring all our family - including our labrador. We enjoyed our stay and the chance to see the upper Clyde River. Joanne and Ross are thoughtful hosts and have a unique off grid retreat. We will be back.

Excellent nature break

The property was exactly what we were looking for. The nature you're immersed in is wonderful. Ross went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and were confident with the detours on the roads due to the recent weather. Joanne even gifted us some herbs from the vege patch. Will definitely go again.

Peace and Quite

We arrive via the long and winding clay roads to a welcoming host and beautiful scenery. This with marvellous hospitality create an inspiring holiday. Note: Cabin is open plan and takes a long time to heat up. Plenty of blankets to keep warm with.
