Avalon river Retreat is an unforgettable experience - an immersion in the peace and serenity of a pristine oasis. Your cedar-clad cabin is sumptuously styled and fully fitted with luxurious linen.

Avalon is 400 river bound acres, 80 minutes inland of Port Macquarie, tucked into the heart of the Hastings hinterland. Rolling pasture, eucalypt forests, pristine rainforest and 4 kilometres of river. Walk, run, explore, hike. Kayak, swim, fish or just sit quietly at one of the pools and wait for the platypus to pop up. (AWD or 4WD access only - 2WD vehicles are met at the gate)

It's an experience of space and absolute serenity, far from the madding crowd. Catch a bass, pat alpacas, horses, cows, or just bathe in the bliss of its beauty.

Avalon River Retreat is one of the most unique experiences we’ve ever had. It almost feels like a safari, getting to explore the acres of land, rainforest, and creeks, and seeing the wide variety of f...riendly animals.

The cabin is so comfy and warm, and the road in is incredibly scenic.

There is a rainforest trail, a creek to kayak on and swim in, all kinds of birds to spot, horses, cows, alpaca, and platypus to find.

The flying fox is great for a view too!

Sophie was so kind and helpful, offering to show us around the place to spot the trails and animals before we went off and explored on our own.

Genuinely one of a kind stay, with so much to do. So peaceful, beautiful nature sounds the whole time.

We will absolutely be going back.

This place can truly be called a retreat. We fully relaxed and recharged in just two nights. Sophie, the owner, is a very warm and attentive person. Her farm is a vast space of wild nature: forests, s...hrubs, a river where you can kayak. We were there with our child, and even he, at 4.5 years old, managed the paddle easily. The house was clean, spacious, with many windows, so it was filled with light. We enjoyed the starry sky in the evening, and the hostess treated us to homemade eggs—it was absolutely wonderful. Everything was comfortable, and we wholeheartedly recommend this place to our friends.
