About this property
Great place for a family break.
Mountain View is a beautiful cabin in a natural setting. You can relax in the spa bath, visit the little creek at the edge of the property or the dam, walk the Lemon tree walk, or just sit and enjoy the views from sunrise to starlight. Dawn and dusk sees the local wallabies gather and the many birds sing & feed on our 100 acres.
Only 10 minutes from Dungog, 2 kilometres from a clear river to swim in or picnic by, 30 minutes drive from the Barrington Tops National Park and one of only 3 buildings on 100 acres (mostly bush, partly cleared) means there is something for everyone.
Come alone, as a couple, a small family or group to enjoy peaceful, panoramic views across the Williams River valley to the Barrington Tops & the surrounding bush here on our 100 acres.
There is a spacious bedroom with a queen-sized bed, disabled access bathroom, a bunk room with single bunk beds, a fully equipped kitchen with full-sized stove & fridge, plus reverse cycle air conditioning, TV & DVD player in the roomy lounge area, and a BBQ outside. So cater for yourself or head into Dungog (less than 15 minutes away) to one of their eateries.
The roomy bathroom has a walk in shower and a spa bath. There is a solar hot water system, with a booster switch near the stove. A half hour will reheat the water on those overcast or wintery days, so there is always plenty to go round.
In the cooler months your outdoor fire pit gives you a cosy place to sit under the stars.
Please note:
Dungog is a high rainfall area but whenever staying in the country and planning to have a fire it is important to check the local conditions. Search Search' NSW Rural Fire Service- Fire danger ratings and total fire bans' for current fire bans- we are region '3' on the map.

About the host
Hosted by Bronwyn/Max Greive
Bronwyn & Max are both amazed with the beauty of nature and the resourcefulness of people. We met out the back of Bourke (country NSW) & been happy living in the city, but are pleased to be able to get back to the country.
As you see we are colourful people who are both artists who love to create, Max in wood and Bronwyn in paints, textiles, & lots of other medium, selling their work locally in the Hunter. Some of their work can be found throughout the property as well as Bronwyn's in the local Dungog by Design.
Max is also a labyrinth enthusiast & works as counsellor, while Bronwyn is studying & teaching in the art sector at the University of Newcastle.
We enjoy and have spent a lot of our lives helping people (ourselves included) connect with community, family, partners, and nature, all while encouraging people to be creative and go deeper.
So there are 4 labyrinths on the property- 1 marked out on the slope as you come up to the house another laid into the ground on the left of the driveway down to the cabins. Feel free to walk one or all of them. Take your time.
We also run creative nature & creative spiritual workshops & retreats here & elsewhere .

Why they chose this property
This is a 30 year dream come true- we have wanted to have a country place where individuals, families and groups connect with people, nature, creativity and community. We like to gather our children and grandchildren, parents and wider family here and want others to experience that too. Finding a cedar clad place on 100 acres was amazing- there were good 'bones' in place to create a charming, welcoming and artistic feel, a place where there can be nurture of the land, relationships and the soul.
Most of the property, while secondary growth, is natural bushland with various habitats; bush, dry sclerophyll and wet gullies, creek, grasslands, steep and more gentle hillsides; so we have cut some walks through for people to enjoy and connect with it themselves. While we and others have spotted over 30 different bird species we don't believe we have seen them all yet. As well as birds the wallabies are so wonderful, grazing most morning and evenings, often with their joeys and these are less skittish the longer we are there.
Bronwyn's great grandmother was born around this area, so there are other ways it is a re-connection for us as well.
Fosterton Retreat also inspires our creativity and we want to be able to encourage this in others while providing a place and opportunities for personal, relational, communal, environmental transformation & restoration. Fosterton Retreat gives us a chance to do all this.

What makes this property unique
It's hard to go past the clean air, the great views, the wallabies grazing, the numerous native birds & the 100 acres these cabins sit in with different habitats, eg: a wet gully, a hilly grassland & magnificent views. BUT the buildings themselves also attracted us. We fell in love with these cabins as each are based on the traditional Australian settler cabin, with good-sized rooms, dado rails, verandahs to help keep it cool, & provide a place to enjoy the view or the breeze. Being clad in cedar (originally red cedar was common in this area) is a bonus.
We are putting our own touch on this place, welcoming, practical touches- like places to put your bags in each room, as well as artistic touches, that make this even more unique- like themed rooms, carefully chosen artworks and colourful doona covers that add to the effect of the decor.
As we work to establish more plants in and around the property, these are purposely chosen for their suitability for the area and to attract more wildlife, especially birds. Mostly we are putting in plants indigenous to this area, but there we have included a couple of others for their therapeutic and symbolic nature.
This is not a sterile environment and will not look or feel like every other house you've been to (maybe like no other house you've been to) & we think that is great.
