★Wombat Forest Country Retreat★

Welcome to Wombat Forest Country Retreat — a place to slow down, breathe deeply and soak up the beauty of the countryside.
Tucked away in the rolling landscapes of Trentham East, our retreat offers a comfortable and modern space with peaceful views across farmland, forest and water. Wake to the sound of birdsong, enjoy your morning coffee on the back deck, cook a hearty meal in the fully equipped kitchen, or curl up with a book by the window as the sun sets.
This is a place where you can truly unwind — read, rest, wander through the trees, or simply enjoy the quiet. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a creative retreat, or a country adventure, we hope you’ll feel right at home.

The space
• Light-filled open-plan living and dining area with sweeping views
• Fully equipped kitchen — ideal for cooking up hearty breakfasts or country dinners
• Covered back deck with outdoor seating for sunsets, stargazing or a cuppa with the birds
• One private bedroom with queen bed and ensuite bathroom
• A versatile daybed in the lounge that can be used for reading and relaxing, or converted into a king-size bed, allowing the Retreat to accommodate up to four guests (all sharing the ensuite)

The Retreat is attached to our main house and has:
• Its own driveway and parking area
• A private entrance with no shared internal spaces
You’re also welcome to enjoy the large grassy backyard, which backs onto three acres of beautiful trees, gardens, and ponds — perfect for exploring at your leisure.
Please note, we kindly ask that guests do not enter the adjoining market gardens without permission.

Extras for comfort and leisure
• Free-to-air TV, DVD library, books and board games
• Fresh produce box available for purchase straight from our veggie garden
• Variety of local maps and tips for nearby walks, cafes and places to visit
