Yarralen Retreat

I would not recommend staying at Yarralen Retreat as a family with a baby or young child.When we arrived, Julie told us that the unit 2 we booked is currently occupied and that we have to stay at the smaller unit 1 for a night. We travelled with our 5-month-old daughter and booked the accommodation specifically because they provided a cot. The cot was in fact a port-a-cot that Julie did not know how to set up. Additionally, the port-a-cot was very stained and sticky. Julie provided us with a loose linen to cover the dirty port-a-cot inlay. There was no way to fasten the linen securely and tightly. So according to the general safe sleeping guidelines, this is an unsafe sleeping environment for a baby.After being there for half an hour, we made the difficult decision to cancel our stay and drive home to Sydney again. We were issued a full refund from Airbnb after Julie refused to give us a refund.

Our visit was relaxing and quiet. We came with our 6 month old and she loved all the chickens and peacocks roaming around. We stayed here overnight on our way back to Sydney and it was only five minutes from the highway. We would have stayed longer if we had the time. Julie is so sweet and made us feel at home. This will be our regular spot for when we drive back to the area.

If you wish a quiet place in the middle of nature, with fireplace, lots of camping/ caravan experience, nice surroundings, Kangaroos, a beautiful swimming pool and a nice hostess, ho there.We enjoyed our stay and recommend it.Just you should not be very pedantic about cleanliness, although, I found it clean, some people maynot agree.

We had such an incredible weekend here. Julie the owner was so welcoming and hospitable to all. Amazing location with great camping amenities. We loved it so much we couldn’t leave and requested to extend which she helped accomodate.

The birds sing all day, combined with a rainforest surrounding this is pretty special. The yoga deck has a beautiful vibe. My room was full of art and beautiful objects. The owners and staff are so friendly.This is not a hotel, this is their home.

Dear Julie and Cliff, thank you very much for your generosity, I congratulate you, you have a magical, beautiful place, it's like feeling paradise... my daughters and I have a wonderful time, thank you very much for creating this beautiful place so that anyone can come to connect with the beautiful, simple and vital, with love Abril, Gaby and María

It was a camping experience.Not bad for a long drive.Nice view and a quiet place to camp.

We stayed in the caravan booked via Airbnb. Great spot, lots of other campers who were all very friendly. Everything you need to make a meal, have a shower and unwind. Thanks for a fab stay.

This place was such a treat, Julie and cliff were so accommodating, my 4yo loved the birds, the rain Forrest walk, the swimming pool and the tranquility.I opened my tent to discover I had black mold on it from previous camping trips and Julie the owner straight away organised one of the caravans on site.We will definitely be back as I have found a little slice of paradise to relax.

Thank you beautiful Julie & Cliff for making our staySooo warm, amazing and easy. The property is beyond words! Photos don’t do justice. It’s the perfect place and has everything you could possibly need and much much more !! We went with a big group and had to extend the last night, no one wanted to leave!!! We are already planning our trip back!! Thank you for the best experience and your amazing kindness and hospitality.
