At the South end of the Wollombi Valley, Willow's Retreat is a secluded little valley, full of walking trails and great for nature lovers.
The native eucalypt forest abounds with birds, wallabies, wombats and sometimes even koalas; a dream for the nature lover or photographer. As are the dark skies - see our photos for some examples of the night sky from our property.
If you're looking for an escape from city life, this is the perfect antidote.
Situated next to Willow's Leap Equestrian, you may even be able to bring your horse!

Incredible stay! Phil is so responsive when you need him. The house has everything you need to make your stay remarkable. We absolutely loved how quiet and peaceful it was. Will definitely revisit in the future.
Such a peaceful place :) the campsite is surrounded by beautiful trees, and lush grass. We spent the entire day reading under some shade. I’d suggest bringing solid shade for hotter days - otherwise there is some dappled shade from the trees. The star gazing was incredible. Firepit, and facilities is very thoughtful. We absolutely loved our stay and will be back hopefully :)
Lyndel and Phil were very helpful and friendly to deal with. I was greeted and shown in through the property to the site, equipped with firewood and toilet facilities.
Nice grassy, private and protected site at the end of the valley under the stars. No cell reception so nice to switch off! Look forward to visiting again.
We had a fantastic stay at willows wilderness. Phil was an excellent host. A lovely private campsite with unbelievable views at night. Will be back again for sure.
We had an amazing time at Willows retreat. It is a little piece of hidden paradise, nestled between the mountains and surrounded by lush green pastures and abundant wild life. To top it off, both Phil and Lyndal are amazing hosts. We received a warm welcome from them and they have definitely maintained this property very well. Everything was just as described and more. And that cow is a proper celebrity 😄❤️
It is a shame that the weekend passed by in a blink 😒
But we would definitely like to be back at Willows retreat.....hopefully soon.
It is a gem of a place.
Thank you Phil and Lyn for hosting us . 🙌
