Retreat Facilities
We offer a custom built secure site in a tranquil setting, whilst still being close to all that Forster has to offer.
Our 4 two-bedroom cabins come well equipped. Each cabin is self-contained with a full kitchen with modern appliances including a dishwasher and full laundry. The main bedroom has a queen size bed while the second bedroom sleeps up to three people. With two fold away beds, a port-a-cot and highchair in each cabin, the whole family is catered for. All cabins also have reverse cycle A/C, TVs in the living room and both bedrooms and also feature beautiful indigenous art from local artists. Each cabin has a large deck and outdoor furniture to enjoy the stunning Lake Wallis views from. Cabins 3 and 4 are wheelchair friendly.
Whilst each cabin is self contained, we offer a communal BBQ space with two gas BBQs for families to make use of whilst watching their children play with modern and sensory play panels located in our gardens. Each family also receives a voucher book with up to $350 worth of complimentary or discounted services and attractions from our generous supporters in and around Forster.
