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! ##### Ashleigh R. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicki P. Jan 20, 2019 #### 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. ##### Nicki P. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike C.

Aug 10, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Tanya H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadia O. Jul 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Nadia O.

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. ##### Matt R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### bernadette r. Oct 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 60th birthday bliss in the bush I wish I could give this property in excess of 5 stars. I had searched for the right birthday location for ages, my main criteria being luxury and comfort with total privacy in a natural setting. Wollemi Eco-Retreat provided all of that, and more. I read the instructions carefully so there were no surprises, including the need to bring all our own supplies. Denny was a breeze to communicate with, responding quickly and with a minimum of fuss. It was such a relief to lock the property gate and know that it was all ours for 4 nights. The house is perfect for families or a group of friends. We were 2 couples so having 2 bathrooms worked well. Mine had the luxury bath with the huge picture window from where I watched the full moon rise through the trees. Hard to get better than that. The third bedroom has bunk beds (double and a single) so not quite as luxurious as the other two rooms but perfectly adequate. The outdoor area was brilliant with lots of space and a big, comfy lounge. The fire pit had been replaced with a coffee table, presumable because of the fire hazard in these drought conditions. Didn’t worry us as we had a few nights in front of the amazing indoor combustion fire which was easy to manage and magical to watch. It took a bit of effort to collect kindling from around the property but that gave us an opportunity to see the beautiful rock formations and creek bed up close. The natural landscape and wildlife around this property is the thing that makes it so unique. I don’t spend much time in nature so it was everything to be able to lay back in the spa or on the comfy sofa indoors and see an expanse of rocks and trees, and wildlife – hundreds of birds including a family of 4 lyre birds, kangaroos and wallabies with their joeys, an echidna, and a wombat and her baby. A map of the actual property may have been useful as we had no luck finding the Aboriginal rock art … but then again we didn’t try too hard as the spa was calling! It was a truly beautiful, relaxing and rejuvenating escape from Sydney. Also we had the famous Rylestone dumplings on the way home. Seriously the best end to a birthday ever! I highly recommend Wollemi Eco-Retreat. ##### bernadette r. ### 4/10 Poor #### Kathryn N. Oct 6, 2019 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, location #### Negative review This property is very average indeed. It is highly overpriced. It is situated at the end on a 6 1/2 km dirt road. Bed linen and towels -cheap and rough. On arrival there was not a drop of milk in the fridge for the mandatory cuppa required by the weary traveller. No tissues, hair dryer or any indication of any ‘love’ input to the property. Snakes in the area were reported by a trades person after our arrival. The cupboards are full of old leftovers from previous visitors. All in all we felt duped and would not recommend it to anybody. ##### Kathryn N.

Sep 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and Mystical While the Wollemi Retreat’s cottage had every thing we needed with a fireplace that kept it toasty warm on a cold and windy weekend, for me the real highlight was the location. With natural rock gardens to be found in all directions, hidden crevices, ancient art works and abounding wildlife, it has a mystical and timeless feel. During my excited exploration it was easy to believe I had stepped back in time a thousand years, before returning to warmth and mod cons of the cottage. Definitely five stars from me. ##### Rob H.
