What an amazing property, friendly and hospitable hosts, very clean and comfortable cabin. Close enough to Dungog for essentials but far enough from the rest of the world to really relax, recharge and reconnect with your people and the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend a stay at Fosterton Retreat!!

We had a fabulous long weekend away from our busy lives at Fosterton Retreat - it was exactly the get away we were looking for with our 7yo daughter. Nice walks nearby and beautiful skies at night. We made good use of the fire pit with marshmallows on both nights.

A perfect secluded getaway for some R & R.

A peaceful, comfortable cabin in the mountains where we could relax and unwind, enjoy the natural surroundings and explore the country town of Dungog. The cabin has everything you would need for a short or long stay. Max our host was informative, friendly and accommodating and we can’t wait to visit again.

Beautiful country retreat to enjoy some peace, quiet and plenty of nature

We had a wonderful stay at the Fosterton Retreat. It was a lovely cottage located on a beautiful block of land surrounded by nature. Many local wallabies hanging out and an easily accessible river for the hot days. Would definitely recommend staying here for a country escape. Max and Bronwyn were very helpful as well, giving detailed directions and local knowledge.

Mountain View cabin at Fosterton Retreat was a great place to stay. Host Max is friendly and chilled. He met us at check in and after showing us around we had 101 acres to ourselves as there were no other guests. We were planning on driving out to Barrington Tops to do some walks but ended up staying at the property to do their short walks, checking out their labyrinths, wildlife spotting and star gazing. Nearby river is a short drive away which was a cool and refreshing place for a dip. Cabin itself was cosy and comfortable with everything we needed for 4. We really enjoyed our relaxing weekend at Fosterton Retreat.

Beautifully situated and serene

Lovely two bedroom farm house out in the bush, situated amongst trees and bushland with kangaroos and wildlife around. Deck, spa, BBQ and epic fire pit that you can cook over under the stars. Kids bedroom and toys ready to go. Loved it.
