Hastings Bay Retreat – Idyllic Forest Hideaway!
Summary:
Discover Hastings Bay Retreat, a luxurious off-grid sanctuary nestled within a serene forest, offering water and wilderness views.
With 200 meters of waterfront and a network of well-crafted walking tracks, this haven invites you to indulge in nature's tranquillity.
Just a short drive from Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs, this modern oasis offers unique amenities in a peaceful natural setting. Find serenity in the embrace of the wild.
The Space:
The retreat features two beautifully appointed bedrooms—an indulgent king bedroom with a serene view of Hastings Bay and a second bedroom furnished with a comfortable queen bed. The adjacent bathroom ensures your comfort and convenience.
While the property boasts 200 meters of waterfront, it's the well-crafted walking tracks that provide unique opportunities to immerse yourself in nature. These tracks not only lead to the water's edge but also meander through the enchanting forest on the hill, offering a serene and picturesque journey. Discover the peaceful ambiance and explore the forest at your own pace.
Conveniently situated less than 15 minutes away, the renowned Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs offer a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and fascinating cave tours. Whether you wish to unwind in the soothing thermal waters, embark on forest explorations, or delve into the mysteries of underground caves, this modern oasis provides the ideal starting point.
Please note that while phone coverage may be limited, NBN Internet ensures you're well-connected in every other way. Hastings Bay Retreat harmonizes with nature, relying on solar energy and rainwater. Power usage is thoughtfully managed to align with what the sun provides, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally conscious retreat.
In summary, Hastings Bay Retreat is a haven for those seeking a nature retreat and a place to unwind in tranquil surrounds. Experience the magic of Hastings Bay Retreat, where luxury meets wilderness, and where you can truly escape to a world of serenity and natural beauty.
Guest Access:
Our guests have access to the 5-ha property, with a network of forest walking tracks to explore and plenty of places to throw in a line off the banks of the bay!
You'll have virtually sole access to Muddy Bay at low tide with breathtaking views of the Southwest National park
Other Things to Note:
Children cannot be accommodated at this property.
As an off-grid property, there are limits on power consumption and supply.
