Wanderers Retreat is a very special place. It is situated on 1.6 hectares of tranquil rainforest located just a short walk to the magnificent One Mile Beach at Port Stephens. There are three other beaches nearby.
They have the perfect location for a weekend away or a relaxing holiday to escape the city's fast pace.
They have tried to balance the environment's requirements with the amenities that will make your holiday one to remember.
Their guests can choose from treehouse studio style for couples, two-bedroom cottages with and without hot-tubs or the four-bedroom Beach House .

All our accomodation is set in a beautiful bushland, where guests wake up to the sound of birds. The couples-only tree houses are equipped with a private double spa, air conditioning, undercover parking and private use of Weber Family Q BBQ. The 2-bedroom eco cottages cater to 4 to 5 people and are fully equipped with modern facilities and a private verandah with BBQ. Some of them also include outdoor hot tubs to fully relax. You might get a visit from some of the many types of wildlife here, koala, possum, echidna, birds etc.
We stayed here last june and a hottub it was amazing and so relaxing. Booked again and stayed this weekend for my birthday, I thought I booked a hottub cottage again but was a spa bath (totally my mistake) did not dissapoint! Place is still as relaxing and wonderful as ever! Cottage was great and spa bath was divine ! Even got to use the pool this time as warmer month! So muxh wildlife and the hosts are lovely. Will defo be back again for a 3rd visit! I quote my 4 year old " I love the holiday house!"
Very beautiful retreat with a rainforest feel, great location, a 10min walk to the beach and local shops nearby. We absolutely loved our stay in a two bedroom cabin with a spa on the balcony. Cabins are cosy and tidy, pool at our doorstep, very friendly and welcoming staff (Antony you're the man, cheers for the late check-out)! Thanks for having us! We will be back 🙂
We absolutely loved our stay at Wanderers Retreat — this was our second time visiting, and it was just as beautiful as we remembered. The location is perfect, only a short stroll to the beach, and the whole place feels like a lush, green jungle hideaway. Our little wooden cottage was perfect for our needs — super clean, cosy and charming. The hot tub was definitely a highlight too - the best way to relax. It’s also only about 20 minutes from the airport, which makes a quick escape from Melbourne incredibly easy. We had the best stay and we’re already planning to come back next year. Highly recommend! 🌿✨
Thus ecofriendly retreat was comfortable, clean and very close to beaches and shops. The barbecue grill , TV and other amenities worked very well making this a relaxing weekend. The birdsongs were a joy to wake up to and neighbouring Lodges were not too close for comfort.
We stayed at The Wanderers Retreat for the October Long weekend (2025) and had a fabulous time. We stayed in the beach house which was a beautiful four bedroom cottage, perfect for our two families. The location was spectacular- a short walk to the beach and local cafe. The cottage is surrounded by trees and bush which gives a real sense of seclusion while still being close to facilities.The host, Antony was so helpful with any questions that we had as well as loaning us a range of gear including cricket bat, boogie boards and boards for sand dunking. The hot tub was a great bonus and really added something extra for our trip away. We will definitely be back. Would definitely recommend this place and especially the beach house for families.
