Bawley Bush Retreat

In the bush with lake glimpses, Chef's is our most requested cottage. It is certainly the one to book for a couple's romantic weekend retreat or if privacy and seclusion for up to 8 is important to you. It is a high quality earth brick, hand-finished cottage with a loft and a straw-lined cathedral roof supported by recycled ironbark bridge beams. The high ceilings and extensive use of natural materials impart a very comfortable and rustic older-world ambience. 

Café is a large 4-star-rated cottage with 3 king-bed bedrooms, a king-bed loft, a lounge room with sofa bed, dining area, catering kitchen and bathrooms.  It can be the perfect romantic in-the-bush retreat for a couple or it can be the hub for a large family get-together. It is good for sleeping more than 9 people.

Kookaburra is capable of sleeping up to 2 in each of its 3 king bed bedrooms and 2 singles (that can be pushed together to make an extra king) in its extra room. Each king can be divided into twins if required. Two bedrooms are upstairs and one, with an ensuite, downstairs. Bathrooms are downstairs. Upstairs bedrooms are large enough to add extra foldup beds and it is possible to use the lounge room for another 2 foldup beds.

These apartments in their base 1-bedroom configuration are perfect for couples. Though they have only kitchenettes they work well for families or groups because the two units can be internally linked together to form a large self-contained cottage or suite. As such the pair can comfortably accommodate 6 in 3 bedrooms. As many as 8-10 in could be accommodated in 4 dormitory-style bedrooms for an event where the Cafe Cottage kitchen is used for group catering/dining.

Wattlebird is a charming 2-level bush apartment rated by Star Ratings Australia at 4 stars and suitable for 2-4 or, at a push, a family of 5 people. It is our smallets and most economical cottage offering bush views and parking immediately alongside. It is more in the bush than our other bush apartments and has a lawn with burrawangs, verandahs to both north and east. Wattlebird has no guest neighbours but note that our adjacent linen room and cleaner's store may be in use by staff between 10am and 2pm on some weekdays.

Glamp camp in Wombat, our fully self-contained luxury Jayco Sterling 23ft caravan with annex. Wombat is privately located on our weather-protected hilltop with a northerly view of beautiful forest and understory. It is our most economical accommodation. Wombat is spacious because its 2 slide-out walls enable an unexpectedly large lounge room and a bedroom with a comfortable full queen sized bed you can walk around. It is suitable for a couple only. Your dog is welcome too (extra tariff) but it is not permitted on furniture, should be tick protected and restrained from hunting wildlife.
