Whether you are looking to indulge in some much needed rest & relaxation or after something a little more exciting & fast paced, The Retreat certainly caters to every one of all ages! The unique 4 acre property is nestled perfectly between unspoilt Australian native bushland & Worimi National Park . Our backyard is literally home to the largest moving coastal dunes in the Southern Hemisphere, making this the ideal location to explore the incredible beauty of the ever changing landscape. We are the ONLY park that back directly onto the sand dunes allowing guests to access the dunes directly via as short walking track. Cook up a feast in one of our 4 outdoor covererd BBQ kltchen areas Take a dip in the salt water pool. Toast marshmallows around the firepit (restrictions apply during summer) Stroll around the property through our native gardens filled with banksia, wattle & grevilleas, relax on your verandah or deck underneath a canopy of gum trees.

Our reception is also conveniently a booking office for local tours & activities! Our friendly staff are happy to answer your questions & make all the arrangements on your behalf... The Retreat is definitely one of Port Stephens best kept secrets.... until now

Neighborhood info

Locally we have Anna Bay shops where I highly recommend the local bakery, butcher, Thai Resturant, LJ's takeaway and Anna Bay Tavern for a great pub meal. Anna Bay is the gateway to the sand dunes which is a must see and do when in Port Stephens. Birubi Beach is our closest beach and at the surf club there is a beautiful cafe called Crest which offers amazing breakfasts and lunches over looking the 32km stretch of beach and sand dunes
