Rules

Ping at Avalon River Retreat

LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS

We share our beautiful & peaceful natural environment with you in the spirit that you will love and honour it as we do.  

We only allow one or two families on our 400 acres at any one time so you will experience the feeling of tranquillity that wide-open spaces, star-studded skies and the burbling river bring.

Because we live on a pristine river and are incredibly proud of our platypus population, we are very conscious about what goes into or near that environment.  

All detergents are provided in our cabin accommodations (for bodies, hair and dishes) and we ask campers to bring Earth Friendly products when they stay.

WHAT TO BRING

Sunhats and rashies etc so as little sunscreen as possible goes into the river system.  

Covered shoes for walking around.  Trainers are best for kayaks or creek exploring so they can get wet.  Wellies in & after wet weather.  If in doubt,  ring, email or ask.

We will limit our farm activities while you are here.  Sometimes noise is inevitable but we will always let you know first.  We hope you will revel in the silence as we do.

Exactly what we needed
Thank you, Sophie and Ben for such a relaxing and welcoming stay on your property.  The children loved all the animals, the river and the vast area to explore.  
I loved all the great food and relaxing in the peace and quiet your property offered.  Your hospitality was impeccable and the cottage was perfect for what we were looking for.  We hope to see you again in the future.
