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 #### Joshua Sep 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Spa was amazing at night time, looking up at the stars. Possums were very friendly followed us around everywhere & eat out of your hands. ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amelia Apr 27, 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 Feb 16, 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 #### Yan Feb 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication This is a great place for an escape into the rainforest. The cabin we had is with two bedrooms and a private hot tub. The kids had so much fun with the hot tub. We had lots of rain during our stay. Overnight we can hear the sound of the rain in the quiet woods. It just felt so nice. This place is also within walking discount to one mile beach. We went to the beach each afternoon during our stay. Kids enjoyed looking for crabs and playing with sands and water. Within a very short few minutes drive we could go to sand boarding places,dauphin watch cruise and koala sanctuary. No effort at all for driving. Before I booked i saw some reviews saying the place is not clean or the toilet smelt bad. But it didn’t happen to our cabin at all. Our cabin is well cleaned before we went in. Toilet also had no bad smell at all. The cabin is a bit old but that is within our expectations. The only thing we would want for an upgrade is the dinning table. It is a small table for 4 people and we have 5 of us so we can not have dinner together. But apart from that everything else is perfect and we highly recommend it for everyone who wants a quite escape into the rain forest. The property manager is very nice and polite. ##### Yan Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda Dec 3, 2023 Liked: Communication The environment was beautiful and quiet with no road noise which allowed you to hear the lovely sound of local bird life. We feel this property was once upon a time a little slice of luxury. While it seems to be still priced for luxury, it’s a little tired and very dated. Blinds and bathroom grout were mouldy, the furniture lacquer was sticky, the kitchen cupboards had a funky smell, the mattress was not the most comfortable and the kitchen utilities are in need of an update. The owner advised on arrival that the previous owners had removed a main window blind which meant the morning sun shined directly onto your face in bed when it rose. We wouldn’t have booked had we known this. We simply think it was overpriced for what it offers. ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen Jan 30, 2023 Liked: Communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities We stayed with our three children for four nights. We were surprised by what we found - a very basic cabin with a drop toilet (not the luxury accommodation and composting toilet that was advertised). Initially, the owners were very nice but things started to go downhill. Beds are very uncomfortable. Since the units aren't cleaned regularly, the toilet started to have bugs, and the smell became much more noticeable. I did two loads of washing...despite the fact that they advertise a communal laundry, the female owner was extremely passive aggressive and locked the laundry door behind me when I left. It remained locked for the entirety of the next day and the next morning. There were a number of families staying at the property and some of the children had broken a fabric thing hanging over the pool and the male owner marched up to my husband and said "I'm pretty sure your children are the ones who destroyed this". It was definitely a group effort among all the children, and the blame doesn't rest solely on us. But, if you have accommodation that children are staying at, you can't blame them for making a game out of something flashy you have hanging over the pool. We felt so uncomfortable that we actually discussed leaving a night early. The beach nearby was wonderful and the setting was lovely. Shame about the owners and the false advertisement of the accommodation. ##### Karen Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [WorldMark Whistler - Sundance](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-WorldMark-Whistler-Sundance.h1155936.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Florida](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Florida.d211.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mumbai](https://www.expedia.ca/Mumbai-Hotels.d6050062.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in St. Kitts and Nevis](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-St-Kitts-And-Nevis-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d130-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Fantasyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Fantasyland-Hotel.h460534.Hotel-Information) > > [The Delphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Standard-Downtown-LA.h886918.Hotel-Information) > > [Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Vancouver-Marriott-Pinnacle-Downtown.h422944.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Downtown-Ottawa.h431338.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Forks Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Grand-Forks-Inn.h570847.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Jamaica-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2057712.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to San Jose (SJC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/sjc/seattle-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) > > [Flights from British Columbia (YXJ) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxj/mnl/fort-saint-john-to-manila) > > [Flights from North Syracuse (SYR) to Myrtle Beach (MYR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/syr/myr/syracuse-to-myrtle-beach) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yyz/abbotsford-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Zürich (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/zrh/vancouver-to-zurich) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Orlando.d178294.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Minivan Car Rentals in St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/Minivan-Car-Rentals-In-St-Johns-Intl.d5527897-tMinivan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Activities > [Things to do in Denver](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Denver.d178254.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Canada Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Canada.d31.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Port Louis](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Louis.dx2415) > > [Visit Chinatown](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Chinatown.dx6005294)
