Stunning location, gorgeous accommodation. The sort of experience you don’t forget in a hurry. We loved being immersed in nature - we saw plenty of roos and birds - even a wombat! The house has comfortable facilities including sofas, beds, bathrooms and well-appointed kitchen. The bath with a view was a plus, as well as the spa on front deck with super views (once we got it warm enough).The driveway is quite rutted so take it slowly if you have a low-slung car.

The kitchen has everything you could possibly need even more than expected! The property offers generous space, and the rooms are clean and comfortable.Just a note: in summer, there can be some flies and bugs around.We were lucky to enjoy a beautiful full moon during our stay, although it was so bright that it outshone the stars.If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway, this place is an excellent choice.Denny was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay!

Relaxing getaway

Great hosts, very informative sending plenty of information before arrival. Beautiful open plan house with heaps of sunshine, we spent most of our time in the unique bushland on the property with rocky escarpments and a running stream spotting wildlife such as wombats, kangaroos and lots of birdlife. We would recommend this stay to anyone looking to unwind.

Amazing!

We spent the New Year period at Wollemi Retreat and it was nothing short of amazing. We were also able to stay in the brand new cabins which were perfect for a large group- there was plenty of room for families and their kids- and those without kids had the privacy and their own space in the cabins. We had no issues whatsoever, our stay couldn’t have been better! Denny was extremely helpful leading up to the booking with recommendations and helpful tips as well as during our stay for any questions we had. It’s been weeks since our stay and we’re all still talking about how much fun we had!

Beautiful house in 100 acres pristine land

Great accommodation with quality furnishings, beds, kitchen equipment and layout of rooms. Unfortunately one drawcard - the outside spa, was beautifully positioned under the night sky, but broke during our stay. The owner was very quick to respond to try to fix it - but unsuccessfully unfortunately. I recommend also that the quality of the water in the spa be checked every couple of days with instructions as to how to optimise chemically. Otherwise a perfect family or couples retreat in an ecofriendly designer house.

Thanks for your review. Just to clarify though, the spa wasn’t broken and still functioned for your stay. The heater had an issue which required a replacement part to be ordered and reinstalled. The chemical balance has been addressed. Thanks for staying at Wollemi Retreat

Beautiful property, wonderful views

My partner and I and our two small dogs had a great time. Beautiful views, we enjoyed being in the bush, we had kangaroos on the grass each morning and we spotted a wombat one night! We also enjoyed the abundance of birds. The outdoor spa and fireplace were a bonus. We went into Mudgee & Gulgong and would highly recommend doing this. Would definitely come back again.

Lovely relaxing stay

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the retreat. Pizza oven was fun and easy to use. Loved the deck spa and the bath tub. Would love to come back, perhaps with more friends as it was a bit pricey for just 3 of us.

Perfect NSW getaway

This property is clearly a labour of love for its owner. It would take a great deal of time, labour and attention to detail to create a property like this in such a remote location. I visited for 3 nights in August with my husband, 3 primary school aged children and 2 small dogs (we were meant to visit in April, however had to reschedule due to COVID). The property is well set up for a very comfortable family holiday. The setting is spectacular. The house captures views from every side. The furnishings are very comfortable and good quality. The living room couch is so comfortable you could sleep on it! The spa outside is wonderful and it is in the best spot to look at the view. The kitchen is well-appointed and the BBQ is excellent plus it is undercover. The kitchen has a gas stove and oven, a good amount of crockery and lots of utensils/kitchen tools. There is a toaster, coffee machine, stove kettle and blender. The wood fired oven makes terrific meals and is also a great family activity. It was cold and wet during our visit. The wood heater is very effective - we only needed to use the gas heater a little until the wood heater kicked in. The bed sheets are excellent quality and the doonas are very warm. The stand alone bath in the master ensuite has a gorgeous bush view. We needed to fiddle around a bit with the generator and also needed to change over the gas tanks and re-light hot water pilot light while we were there. There isn’t much daylight at this time of year so solar power was in limited supply. But these things were not any great burden to us and the owner was extremely responsive to any queries. The spa and dishwasher (which both use significant amounts of power) both worked well. The internet also worked without incident. I am surprised that the property had so many features, given its remote location. There are lots of animals on the property and if you take the time to go walking, there is a good likelihood you will see some animals. The kids found this especially fun. The only thing I would suggest adding is a small desk somewhere, perhaps along the empty wall in the bedroom with bunks in it, if you need to do a spot of work or want to engage in writing or some such other activity. All in all, a wonderful spot and an extremely comfortable property with many mod cons. Perfect for a quiet getaway, a romantic holiday or some family time. Thank you for a terrific holiday.

Fab getaway

Wollemi Retreat is the perfect getaway. Peaceful and isolated (but not too isolated), the scenery and surrounding bush is restorative and dramatic. The house is super comfortable, well provisioned and stylishly appointed. More than that though, the house is fun with the outdoor spa bath, fire pit and deep bath with floor to ceiling windows looking into bush! And we didn’t even get to to the pizza oven! Rylstone has lots of charm, with retro record stores, divine wool shop and the best yum cha we’ve ever had at the Rylstone tea house! It was a great 4 days.

Amazing place to stay!

This location was incredible. The area gives a breath of fresh air compared to the noisy nature of city life and the local wildlife definitely helps define the atmosphere. Would highly recommend this location to people who wish to get away from the world and relax. I only ever had 1 issue with the venue and that was figuring out how the dishwasher worked XD. The owner was incredible at making sure our stay was perfect, texting us everyday asking if there were any issues and taking interest in what me and my friends had been up to. That kind of service really changes the experience felt on holidays. So my final note to people reading this review is to get out to this place so that you can experience a peaceful and relaxing get away from the rest of the busy world.
