A beautiful setting on the lagoon- and quite tranquil-rather than in town. .The owners have put a lot of thought into an environmentally sustainable retreat. And kayaking from your front garden.!

Thankyou Eric. The pop-up restaurant we had running for 5 weeks was fantastic it is true but it is not a permanent feature of our property.

No real facilities, no one to greet or show you to your accommodation, run down old caravan to sleep in, smelled damp and musty. I couldn’t stay in it and so told the owners, non the less they still charged me full rate of $117. Disgusted. Would not recommend to anyone

True to the name, the property has a beautiful bush setting next to the lake, very open and green, cottages are very well maintained , and just a few minutes to the beach , so best of both bush and beach , loved it

Peacefully and tranquil. Clean and most things available. Not sure about the composting toilet and limited drinking water only at specified taps which makes the daily tariff seem expensive for what you get. This Bush Retreat is far from services. Make sure you take in your provisions from the major centres as limited shops and no reception facilities. Overall expensive for what you get.

Yes we are peaceful. We are not on town water or sewer and we are adjacent to a sensitive coastal lake so composting toilets (some cottages) help us minimise waste water disposal. We have unlimited drinking water in all cottages but we do use treated dam water for showers etc. Distances are relative...most people consider local shops etc only 5km away and town 20km away to be close, not "far".

Great bush location, close to beach and national p

Pros: Cleanliness and quality of accommodation, great location.
Cons: No
Location: walks in NP and adjoining beaches. Great towns of Milton and Ulladulla to visit.
Very enjoyable, private and relaxing spot, close to towns and services.

"ONE THE BEST" places on the south coast

The moment we arrived till we had left the retreat. Had enjoyed every minute of of here. Home away from home but coastal lifestyle. 10/10 self contained for relaxation and beautiful bush spot. Everything is only mins away if you need a quick stop at the shops or a coffee too ect.. Amazing for our fur child "Juce". Customer service was 110% excellent. We shall definitely book again soon.

Oysters cottage plus 2 dogs

Great for dogs with tiled floors & floorboards although dogs asked not to be on "furniture" or annoy other guests, thought comment "$50 charged for any pickup needed after your stay" more of a penalty than a fee, guests need to feel welcome even if traveling with dogs. Compost toilet made me feel a little uncomfortable but nice to walk around the grounds with dogs.

OK , good point re dogs. We have never charged anyone for dog poo pickup. That probably has nothing to do with the $50 scare so it goes..

Nice accommodation but their prices are high

I have been staying at their accommodation for 7 years Over the years not much is changed in terms of what they offer, however their prices keeps increasing Last stay for us, we can get better offers else where and our cabin was not peaceful at all Their laundry and cleaning supply store was attached to our accommodation and at least 10 staff cars driving in and out all day long
