AVALON RIVER RETREAT
Farmstay CottageAVALON RIVER RETREAT
Farmstay Cottage
FEATURES
Polished timber floors from the local mill, camphor laurel bench top, cedar windows , fence paling coffee table and antique pine blanket box, give The Tree House its name – this is a wooden wonderland which soothes your tired mind and feeds your weary soul.
Choose to self cater or let us nurture you with traditional farm food. Breakfast on homemade organic muesli, fresh farm milk and home made yoghurt. Add some honey from our bees and you are ready for the day!
For supper BBQ our steer steaks or sausages, or lamb, pork or goat (in season). Pick a salad from the veggie patch or feast on our home grown and handmade hearty soul food – taste the difference!
ACTIVITIES
Admire the native species and get up close and personal with the domesticated farm animals. Hand feed the alpacas, cuddle Daisy the cow, get to know the horses, scratch a sow, feed the ducks and chooks and fill up on their delicious eggs.
ENVIRONMENT
From the Owners:
“Avalon comprises 400 acres of rolling pasture, pristine rainforest and pasture and 4 kilometres of river frontage. Adjoining State Forest means that our nearest neighbour is 4 kilometres away – feel your soul soar at the space and freedom.
We are solely solar powered, all water comes from sky or river, we have no rubbish collection so all food scraps go to pigs or chooks, all green waste is composted and once or twice a year we fill the trailer with anything else including building waste from our on site building projects. We have a cedar cabin, re-fitted glamping caravan, tiny house and camp sites. We use mainly our own timber in building projects, or local from the local timber mills, we use low VOC paints, cleaning products and all our best buys for our accommodation are from charity shops, eBay etc. We also have pristine rainforest environment with creek and waterfalls.
Our Platypus population is extraordinary and testament to the crystal clear waters – approximately one Platypus every 50 metres. Take the time to sit patiently and wait for the platypus to pop up. Koalas are rarer and more tricky to spot – but they are there so keep looking up! Plenty of goannas, wallabies, water dragons, Bass, turtles, frogs, parrots of all shapes and sizes, wedge tailed and sea eagles, so bring a camera and binoculars if you have them.”
What we love…
Avalon River Retreat is a healing place for body, mind and soul. A peaceful oasis – 400 acres of rolling pasture, eucalypt hills and pristine rainforest bound by four kilometres of burbling river. Get right away from the rat race and relax.
Tell me more…
Avalon River Retreat is proudly off the grid – solar powered and chemical free. Wander amongst the friendly herds of horses, cattle and alpaca. Feed the chooks and taste the flavour in fresh fully free range eggs. Fish for bass for supper or just sit in silence and watch in wonder as the platypuses pop up. Kayak, swim or paddle in the river, boulder hop in the Rainforest and creek – it’s a natural paradise.

Your accommodation is a one bedroom cedar cottage – (with additional single mattress), overlooking the main river flat where the alpacas spend most of their time. Close enough to the farm house to come and enjoy feeding times (350m) but far enough away to enjoy the peace of a world of your own. Perched on a hillside, the farnstay cottage has panoramic views of The Milky Way and beyond – leave the curtains open and drift off to sleep gazing at the heavens.
