About Avalon

Avalon

Avalon is traditionally the heart of the English Arthurian Legend and the mystical ‘apple isle’ where ‘The Lady’ ruled supreme, women’s lore and wisdom ruled the land and spiritual seekers of both sexes were trained in the ancient healing arts and nature-based crafts.

Avalon exists here in Australia for those who wish to seek or find it. Like the ancient Avalon, it has multiple springs, river flats, a Tor (or two!) and the healing lifeblood of Mother Nature flowing strongly through every tree and blade of grass.

We are blessed with an abundance of water, a plethora of apple gums (angophora) and the river which mainly meanders but sometimes rages. We hold the land sacred as it holds us in its warm and nurturing embrace.

Like Avalon of yore, you will only find it if invited to enjoy it, and sent the secret directions which lead you to its healing heart.

Sleep under star-studded skies and let the heavens weave their magic on your soul.

Avalon is a place and space for those with conscious minds and questing hearts wanting to escape from the rate race and relax in nature.  Rest, recuperate, and reconnect – with yourself and those you love.

Our ANIMALS

Avalon is home to an abundance of native wildlife – here you can see the platypus at play every day, wedge tail and sea eagles soaring, sulphur-crested as well as yellow and red-tailed black cockatoos,  rosellas, quail, bush turkeys, echidnas, wallabies, goanna and more.   Here kookaburras laugh, koalas hide and possums and sugar gliders are wide-eyed in wonder.

You can wander among our happy herds of free ranging horses, cattle and alpacas, feed the chooks, collect the eggs and of course give the dogs lots of loving.

Perfect quiet getaway, even with children
We spent 3 lovely days at Avalon, floating on the river with the kids, pony riding for our daughter, the tour to see all the animals, enjoying our fresh breakfast and the tasty dinners prepared by Sophie – thanks again for being such good hosts.  The Tree House was a lovely place to stay: nicely decorated, beautiful view, with always wallabies or other animals to watch.  Our top stay in Australia!
