The Property

Escape to A UNIQUE NATURE RETREAT 

 

Discover the magic of Avalon, a 400-acre rural paradise.  Bound by bass and platypus rich river and surrounded by steep eucalypt forests where koalas slumber, this secluded haven offers tranquility, adventure, and a deep connection with nature.

 

Reconnect with Nature’s Wonders

  • Wildlife Encounters: Spot playful platypuses, listen to birdsong, and watch eagles soar overhead.
  • Starry Nights: Enjoy breathtaking stargazing far from city lights, surrounded by nature’s soothing sounds.
  • 400 acres of peace and serenity for you to explore and revel in
  • Pristine rainforest where you can escape the heat, paddle in the creek, find yabbies and boulder hop for miles

Your Stay at Avalon

Choose from cozy accommodations, including our luxurious cabin, glamping in the Shepherd’s Hut, or riverside camping. Whether you want to snuggle by a fire or relax by the river (or both!), Avalon is your perfect escape.

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!

MEET YOUR HOST

Sophie’s journey to create Avalon is as inspiring as the property itself.

Since 2007, she has nurtured the land, rebuilding after the devastation of drought, fires and catastrophic floods. Sophie loves sharing the stories of the land and its many wonders with guests.

Her passion for landscape, native flora and fauna and her own introduced animals make farm tours unforgettable.  Sophie will show you the best places to explore, to sit and wait for the platypuses to pop up, and where to swim and soak in the river.  

Sophie’s aim is to ensure you return home rested, relaxed and restored.  With a little piece of Avalon magic lodged in your heart.
