Each stand alone, self contained, very private open plan villa is designed for adults only and couples to get away and have a feeling of being in their own villa on their own land away from the everydayness of their lives. All villas invite meditative, mindful experiences in just being in iconic Australian landscape and feature private decks with daybeds overlooking the bush, creek valley surrounded by the Wombat State Forest. From each villa the permanent residents of kangaroos, wallabies, rosellas, cockatoos and kookaburras with their calls of announcing the morning and the closing of the day are frequently seen. Included in each villa are spa baths, double saunas (all but Hideaway), fireplaces, very comfy beds and lounges, amazing picturesque views from every window, digital flat screen TVs, kitchens, and we include a light continental breakfast & snack box to help you make it through your first morning should you forget to bring your own provisions.
