The most amazing space to relax & recharge - Hot Tub at yr door, beautiful scenery, fireplace to keep you warm, kitchen & bathroom stocked with the things you need, bed was like a welcoming soft cloud, lounge area comfortable & cosy. BBQ facilities where also a bonus. Plenty of blankets & throws to snuggle under. So quiet & peaceful, waves from the staff as you passed but otherwise you didn’t feel like anyone else was there. I will definitely be coming back to enjoy the experience as many times as I can.

The calmness, access to bush walks in Koopinghat reserve. Complimentary 1st day breakfast. The small Apiary.

Beautiful, warm & inviting cottage. Perfect for 2 couples. Very comfortable & clean, spacious & well-equipped. Having a fireplace was awesome! We loved our stay!

We had a wonderful cozy two night stay and enjoyed the peace and quiet of Kiwarrak Country Retreat. The bungalow is extremely well maintained and has everything you could possibly want for a romantic and relaxing getaway. The fireplace was well stocked with timber and kept the bungalow warm during the cold snap. A great place to unwind and relax!

We liked everything about this place. It’s very well looked after and thoughtful touches everywhere inside and outside. This vacation was supposed to be a birthday gift for me last year but I had to leave the country to look after my dad, whom I lost after a short while. Although the cancellation wasn’t possible, the hosts were quite understanding when we told them about the situation. Thank you for being so lovely 🙏

Continental breakfast excellent. Local berry jam an local honey a real treat

From the moment we drove onto the property, and arrive at the cottage, our response was wow! Comfortable spaces to simply sit and enjoy the location; everything needed for a relaxing time away, with it obvious, Tara and Steve also love the location because of all the TLC they provide. Thank you for a great couple of days away!

Simple but natural, healthy breakfast basket, with free-range eggs, sourdough bread, plunger coffee and honey from bees on property.. Very clean and neat and all comforts catered for. Fans in bedroom, very efficient, and an airconditioner in lounge that was also very efficient. Good water pressure. Delightful, well-kept grounds, with focus on natural bushland and some interesting plants. Some quirky aspects to the grounds, with a Satin Bower Bird bower and faery garden. Very comfortable beds. Quiet, peaceful and 9min drive to Old Bar, where we had a superb dinner at a BYO Thai restaurant, Sai Thai. Catered for amusements if weather was not good - DVDs, games for children, bath toys. Cheaper for 2-6 people than local so-so motel rooms and much more pleasant and rejuvenating. Definitely recommend!

We loved it, it was extremely clean, well stocked with towels and everything you would need. Although raining the grounds were beautifully maintained. The wildlife was amazing to watch. Would recommend to everyone, especially if you love nature, you are close to everything from beaches, to cafes, Taree, Forster and Port. Will be back there for sure

Everything! We were delighted , a beautiful property and we would like to return.

Hi there. I noticed no WiFi, but how is the mobile network in that area for laptops, phones etc. Cheers!Hi there, We use both Telstra and Optus services on the property and receive consistent coverage, although there are a couple of patchy spots. It is often better outside rather than inside the cottage.Answered on October 20, 2020
