Better than what the pictures are displayed on expedia. ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 10 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We really enjoy our stay here. A very quiet area surrounded by wonderful nature. Perfect to relax. The spa bath was exceptional, just gutted we couldn’t use it on the last day because of a storm. We didn’t have a car so moving around seemed challenging, however, the local bus services run every hour, so with careful planning you can explore the area even without your own vehicle. The host was super nice and always happy to help and his senior dog for me was probably the best thing about the entire experience. This lovely pup came to chill with us and nap on the porch, and she gave us so much love! Wish I could have stayed longer, this place absolutely deserves a visit. When in the area don’t forget to visit One Mile Beach, Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay, and Nelson Bay. ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amelia 27 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The wanderers retreat is a lovely spot. We will definitely be back. It was only a short drive to the town centre but felt like you were out in your own private rainforest. There was so much wildlife. A magpie family that visit several times a day, kookaburras and even a couple of cheeky possums. ##### Amelia Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edmund 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The Wanderer’s Retreat is an eco-friendly and perfect retreat accommodation suitable for families, couples and groups. The property is nestled in a serene rainforest environment and a short walk to One Mile Beach. We stayed in a self-contained tree house cottage with a spa bath that could fit at least two adults. We had a well-appointed, clean and spacious unit with a private parking space underneath for one vehicle. More remarkably than ever, we had a comfortable and relaxing one-night stay. We needed peace and quiet, and we got what we wished for. The queen bed was large for a couple and conducive to a good night sleep. Room amenities had a balance of luxury and environment sustainability. Foremost, our host Antony presented as a warm and friendly person who reflected the laidback Australian hospitality that we love and revere so much. This property is the place to be for a straightforward rest-and-relax staycation without breaking the bank! ##### Edmund Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Great stay ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 16 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Great place to stay ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Belinda 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication The stay was amazing.
