RETREAT TO AVALON

Get away from the everyday.  Retreat from the  hustle & bustle of everyday life.  

We promise you an escape that will heal you – body, mind & soul.   As you hit the dirt roads that wend their way to our off the beaten track paradise, you will feel the stress seeping out of you.

We are just over 5 hours from Sydney and 6 from Brisbane and 80 minutes inland of Port Macquarie.  We are nestled at the foot of the Comboyne Plateau, along the banks of the Ellenborough River – take a day trip to Ellenborough Falls and take the time to wander in Boorganna Nature Reserve to see the delightful Rawson Falls.  Or take in Port Macquarie’s glorious beaches (Lighthouse Beach is our favourite!), learn to surf with the beautiful beings at Soul Surfing, spend half a day at Billabong Zoo and learn all about Australia’s amazing native fauna (pat a koala, feed the wallabies & roos).  

Or just retreat on our 400 acres and let Mother Nature hold you in her healing embrace.  

Wander into the shade and cool of the pristine rainforest, paddle or swim in river shallows and deep, long pools.  Walk or run over rolling pasture, greeting happy herds of free ranging cattle, horses and alpacas.  Or hike high into the hills to get perspective and maybe find an elusive koala.

Whether you roam or snuggle down, you will experience the true magic of this peaceful place, and take a little piece away in your heart when you leave.

Idyllic Country Escape:
Avalon was a wonderful escape from our busy lives. It allowed us to relax and re-energise and also gave us a fresh perspective on the food that we eat and the impact we have on our environment. The hosts were knowledgeable and passionate about the farm and animals and served us delicious homemade organic food. The cottage had wonderful views over the river flat. The fire kept us cosy at night and the lounge was the most comfortable I have come across. We will be back!”
