Their boutique accommodation is superbly detailed and a perfect getaway for a family or couple, groups, functions, weddings, retreats, local businesses and schools, as well as offering short stays to international guests looking for an Australian experience.
Hedlow Retreat provides accommodation for up to 25, including two privately positioned, self-contained cabins, and Hedlow Lodge. Their onsite event marquee opens out to manicured lawns stretching all the way down to the banks of Hedlow Creek, where freshwater awaits for swimming and kayaking.
With views of Mt Hedlow providing the perfect antidote to the rat race, the team look forward to welcoming you soon to their little piece of paradise.
