Pavilions

My wife and I had a great time here and we look forward to staying here again. The rooms are great and the private pools are rad. Great to get away from Sydney for a few days. Emma made sure we had everything we needed

Amazing getaway for couples We stayed two nights in the Earth Song pavilion for a birthday celebration.

Accomodation is perfect. The pool heated perfectly and the view is amazing.

Lovely bathroom + the most comfortable bed.

No need to leave once you arrive and very sad to leave this little slice of heaven.

Thank you Emma and Mick also for the birthday cake and all the special touches.

Well done!!

Romantic 30th Birthday Getaway Wild Edge is a truly wonderful and rejuvenating retreat.

We had decided to celebrate my husbands 30th birthday differently this year without the extravagant party!

We had an amazing couple of days relaxing and enjoying the serene view from our Pavilion as a couple without our three toddlers.

This place has everything for your stay.

We will most definitely be coming back for my romantic and tranquil 30th Birthday.

We wish Emma & Mick all the very best success with their business. We highly recommend booking one of their spa pavilions. 5 star accommodation & service.

P.S. we absolutely loved the birthday cake! Thank you so much!

This is sooo long overdue but I found the hand written card left for us on our stay here. The welcome was fantastic, the view was amazing, the room was spectacular. I messaged asking lots of questions once I booked & mentioned we were staying for our wedding anniversary. I didn’t expect anything from it, I was just excited as we had not had a chance to get away since our honeymoon. The personalised nature of the owners remembering & leaving the note & Champaign just touched us dearly. We were moved & remember our stay there with fondness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I’m so sorry it’s taken this long to acknowledge you guys.

Absolutely love this place, We have visited twice so far and each time has been great this place is quiet and relaxing. The cottage has almost everything you need for a great getaway only thing you need to bring is some food. When we first visited I read the website and didn’t really understand what was included so we did bring things that were already there like oil, coffee and bug spray. The cottage is clean, the bed is so comfy, nice little extras like robes and slippers.
We communicated with Emma and every time we did she was always so friendly the service will not disappoint you.
As stated in the emails the last 5km is off road so it’s as expected pretty bumpy but when you get to the top it will be worth it.
We mostly just had BBQ dinner and lunch but did venture into Cessnock for dinner which has plenty of options.
In pokolbin there is a dessert bar if you enjoy sweets it’s definitely a place to visit.
If you are looking for a nice relaxing getaway far away from the fast pace city, minimal civilisation then Wild Edge will not disappoint you.
We will definitely be back.

This was our fifth time at Wildedge Retreat and it just keeps getting better and better!! …

Bliss !! This was our fifth time at Wildedge Retreat and it just keeps getting better and better!! Our favourite pavilion is Earth Song the view is spectacular ❤️The bed is THE most comfortable I’ve ever slept on ( including my own) and that’s saying something. The choice and quality of the food provisions are amazing - you literally couldn’t think of anything else you would need. Emma is so welcoming and makes you feel at home. So thank you for our anniversary bubbles and like Arnold Schwarzenegger says We Will Be Back!! Thank you so much Karen and Mark May 2023 xx

Highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway. Perfect place to kick back and relax and enjoy your surroundings. Emma and Mick were really hospitable, throwing in some extra oysters on the seafood platter and a delicious birthday cake to boot. The pavilion was a beautiful place to stay with fantastic facilities that let us enjoy a peaceful weekend keeping to ourselves. Would go back in a heartbeat!
Thanks Emma and Mick!

This place is absolutely amazing!!
My husband and I Spent 5 days in the Wind Spirit to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and we could not stop saying how awesome it was being there
The Bath , The open Fire , The View, The Pool etc was awesome!
The Host Emma and Mick were also amazing when we wanted to book things or require something over the phone nothing was a problem and they were always very lovely and friendly and prompt with whatever you requested
Keep up the great work guys this retreat has been recommended to so many of our Friends and Family who said they would love to come and stay!

The best retreat we’ve stayed at hands down!!
We were looking for a secluded, relaxing and luxurious stay and this place had it all and more. Mick and Emma were fantastic hosts and went above and beyond to make our quick getaway as special as it could be. They arranged massage therapists on short notice (we didn’t think it would be possible as we left it a bit late) so we were super stoked! Emma dropped off yoga mats and extra continental breakfast provisions and she just made our stay effortless. We booked ‘Natures Mist’, it had incredible views over the valley and a plunge pool with cabana to laze around on during the heat of the day and listen to the birds and cicada’s.
Meals were easy to have in with the well equipped kitchen and outdoor Webber. The breakfast hamper was amazing with continental, cooked breaky and a fresh fruit platter. Muesli bars, hot chocolates, coffee pods and fresh oranges to pop in the juicer).
We loved being somewhere that felt remote and private but also close enough to duck out to a beautiful lunch and wine tasting or two.
My only regret is that we didn’t book an extra couple of nights and stayed over the weekend, I didn’t want to leave!!
We will definitely be back Emma and Mick!

This place is absolutely incredible. The moment we arrived Mick and Emma were super welcoming and efficient. The villa was amazing with candles lit throughout and aircon on as it was a hot very hot day. …

BEAUTIFUL RETREAT AND STAFF This place is absolutely incredible. The moment we arrived Mick and Emma were super welcoming and efficient. The villa was amazing with candles lit throughout and aircon on as it was a hot very hot day. The villa was super spacious and impeccably clean. My husband and I both agreed hands down the most well appointed retreat we’ve been to, they’ve thought of everything!
We had stunning views over Wollombi valley and felt like we were the only people at the retreat during our stay as it it is all so private. We will definitely be back!

Tranquility The most wonderful anniversary was celebrated at Wild Edge. The most relaxing getaway filled with tranquility and nature. The hosts Emma & Mick went out of their way to make this the most memorable get away. 12/10 is our score for Wild Edge.

Amazing place My hubby and I came up with our friends from Sydney for 5 nights.
The first thing was WOW this place is amazing. Everything about this place is a 10/10. There is nothing I can fault.
Emma and Mick are so amazing. Emma always has a smile on her face and there to bring anything to your door when you need.
100% will be back.

Thank you so much for making me reset and recharge my mind and body ..

Tranquil private getaway My husband and I went here for a weekend getaway for our wedding anniversary and we weren't disappointed.
We felt welcome from the moment we entered the gates to the time we left. Emma our host was awesome, meeting us at the car with a golf cart to transport our luggage, and was only a call away if we needed anything or extra supplies.
The breakfast supplies were amazing with a huge selection to choose from including cereals, yoghurts, fruit, bread, eggs, bacon, mushrooms and fresh tomatoes plus a large selection of teas and coffees.
Our fire was lit, cabin warm and tealight candles burning throughout the pavillion and deck areas in time for our arrival for a romantic welcome. As it was our anniversary there was a complimentary bottle of bubbles from a local winery on ice with a note from the hosts.
If you are looking for a private, romantic and tranquil getaway then wildedge is for you.
Thanks Emma and Mick, we will definitely be back

SImply the best. Ok, I'm rather biased in writing this review but please read on.

My name is Rod Courtney and I was the project manager and partner from inception of the business through to 2009. Life sometimes doesn't take you were you think and it certainly didn't for my wife and I, but I would not have changed building this place for the world.

Wild Edge Retreat was and remains a very special place in our hearts. Although the previous owners to Mick and Emma were entirely forgettable, all I can say is that I am very proud to know that both of them (Mick and Emma) have not only kept up the very high standards we ourselves did, but improved on them.

Until recently my wife and I had not returned to the property. We were actually married in the Earth Song Pavilion in 2008. It's been a great trip down memory lane.

If you are after something very special and different, somewhat secluded and want to escape the crazy world we currently find ourselves living in, you won't find better hosts or facilities in this part of the Hunter.

Wild Edge is a truly special place, confirmed by the multitide of excellent reviews it continues to receive.

Thanks Mick and Emma. You truly are special people.

Jennie and I hope you thorough enjoy Wild Edge Retreat.

Great place to stay We spent 3 nights at Wild Edge in the Nature's Mist room. Great room, comfy bed and huge spa bath. Superb view of mountains and valley below. Deep plunge pool and beautiful surroundings. Very quiet, wallabies hopping about and had an owl on our deck on the first night. Hosts are very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend coming here for some peace and quiet.

A wonderful time of refreshing! Hubby and I have just returned this week from the most wonderful few days at Wild Edge Retreat at Wollombi. This is the best place to celebrate a romantic Wedding Anniversary or that special occasion. It is so peaceful, so private, so thoroughly clean, so comfortable and takes your breath away with its most amazing views. The food provided for breakfast is so ample in its portions that we also used some of it for an evening meal. All the internal features are high end (such as the Dyson hair dryer etc), but the views are what make it such a wonderful place to just come and relax! I love the scenic drive here - it’s such a beautiful part of the country and not far from Sydney. The hostess Emma was so welcoming, and although all 4 Pavilions were booked during our stay, we never saw another person, such is the clever design and layout of the property. Just the sounds of nature and wildlife and the most amazing view of the brilliant stars at night! I also loved the fact that each pavilion has its own private swimming pool. And I also love the fact that it is a large property that is gated, so even though we had the privacy of feeling we were the only ones here, it was comforting to know that although we were way out in the bush, someone else was on the property should there ever be a need. And the extremely high standard of cleanliness and sanitisation was also very reassuring at this time in history of Covid concerns. We loved our stay!

Very peaceful This was our third vist. My husband and I just had the most relaxing few days in wind sprirt at wild edge retreat. The pool was very refreshing and there is a lot of bird life. The spa was great with a good view. The host is very friendly with a big smile. Can't wait to go back.

A Slice of Heaven After a crazy 2021, my husband and I were desperate for a place to relax and unwind. And boy, did Wild Edge Retreat deliver just what we were after!
We were greeted by Emma with a smile and such enthusiasm that we immediately felt welcome. Upon arrival at the pavilion, peaceful music was playing with lit candles to make us even more at home.
The Wind Spirit pavilion offered breathtaking views of the eucalyptus forest into the distance with the most romantic sunsets. We had every meal outdoors due to the ambience.
The privacy and the peace we desired was all there, with our own pool which we enjoyed daily.
Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Amazing!!! Can’t wait to go back From the moment we arrived for my surprise birthday weekend that my wife had booked, it felt like the outside world had melted away and we could completely switch off for 3 nights and that’s exactly what we did.
Emma and Mick have thought of everything to make your stay perfect.
It’s the little touches that count and we didn’t want for anything.
If you’re considering booking a romantic break at Wild Edge Retreat don’t hesitate.
We’ve just left feeling revitalised, refreshed and looking forward to booking our next break in summer next time so we can enjoy the pool.
Thanks guys, see you in a few months.
Cassy and Zoe

Genuinely my favourite place on the surface of the earth If you could reach into our heads and pull our all of the things that would make our perfect holiday, Wild Edge would be it. A beautiful location with an incredible uninterrupted view of the bush/jungle, a pavilion so private that you feel like the only people around for miles, a private pool, a beautiful and large outdoor deck for eating, yoga and playing cards on the day bed, a bbq for outdoor cooking every morning and night, an incredible spa bath and tropical shower, indigenous toiletries, absolutely lovely hosts who absolutely get what you need on a trip like this and provide everything that make it special as well as all of the essentials, and the kind of animals wandering around that you want to see (kangaroos on the drive up, goannas on site) but no huge spiders?! (how did they do that?!)
Seriously though, we're lucky to have stayed in some amazing places and I think the best way of describing Wild Edge is to say that it is the best holiday we've ever been on.
And it's 'only' a staycation 2 hours from home. And we didn't have to fly. And it beats our luxury honeymoon in Bali. Sorry Bali.
Thank you so much Emma and Mick for such a wonderful time, we loved every second and didn't want to leave! You made my 30th birthday one to remember for sure!

We love, love, love this place. This was our 2nd stay at Wild Edge Retreat. Our previous stay was in 2008.

This place is peaceful, relaxing and ofcourse a retreat to get away from it all, so bring a book or 2 and unwind.

We thought our host Emma was professional and attentive.

We cannot fault Wild Edge. We will be back.

Perfect 10th wedding anniversary weekend We spent last weekend at Wild Edge for our 10th wedding anniversary and our stay was absolutely perfect! We were warmly welcomed by the lovely Emma who took our luggage to our pavilion for us and explained everything. We got to our amazing room and the fire was going, soft music was playing and a bottle of bubbles was on ice. We then had tandem massages in our room and were well and truly relaxed. We stayed in Whispering Forest and it was spotless, very comfortable and had everything you could need. The views from the room was spectacular. Service was fantastic throughout the rest of the weekend and nothing was a problem. I would highly recommend Wild Edge to couples looking for a totally relaxing, luxury holiday. Thanks so much again Emma for making our anniversary so special.

Amazing Couples Getaway We stayed at this wonderful retreat for our 20th Wedding Anniversary.

We wanted a private luxurious cabin with tranquil surroundings and that is exactly what we got!

As soon as we had parked our car, we were greeted by our lovely host Emma, who transported our luggage via electric cart to our accommodation.
We entered our cabin to find a warm fireplace and pure ambience created by tea lights and soft music.
Our cabin was immaculate and very well equipped with everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable and our cabin even included amazing breakfast provisions for the weekend.

This retreat is amazing and we will certainly be back!

Worthy Of 6 Stars We had the pleasure of staying at Wild Edge Retreat for 5 nights last week to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday.

As return guests we knew what to expect from this fabulous property, but were very impressed with the little upgrades that Emma and Mick have made since taking over, which easily elevates this wonderful retreat from 5 stars to a very deserving 6!

Upon arrival we were greeted warmly by Emma who helped us with our luggage and showed us to our pavilion, Earth Song. Wow, what a treat for the senses! Cosy fire, tea light and aromatherapy candles and soft music.

The pavilion was immaculate and equipped with everything needed to self cater. We enjoyed the vast array of breakfast provisions that were so tasty..obviously fresh and locally sourced..oh, and thankyou for the bottle of bubbly and the birthday cake- a lovely touch.

We loved Earth Song with its lovely big balcony- perfect to capture the winter sun and glorious sunsets.

The property is so peaceful, it becomes very easy to connect with nature. Tranqility is important to us and we really appreciate the fact that Emma and Mick make a point of not carrying out any noisy maintenance whilst guests are on the property. For us,this is pure gold.

We highly recommend this beautiful retreat for a couples getaway to rest, rejuvenate and revitalise.

Amazing getaway for couples We stayed two nights in the Earth Song pavilion for a birthday celebration.

Accomodation is perfect. The pool heated perfectly and the view is amazing.

Lovely bathroom + the most comfortable bed.

No need to leave once you arrive and very sad to leave this little slice of heaven.

Thank you Emma and Mick also for the birthday cake and all the special touches.

Well done!!

Romantic 30th Birthday Getaway Wild Edge is a truly wonderful and rejuvenating retreat.

We had decided to celebrate my husbands 30th birthday differently this year without the extravagant party!

We had an amazing couple of days relaxing and enjoying the serene view from our Pavilion as a couple without our three toddlers.

This place has everything for your stay.

We will most definitely be coming back for my romantic and tranquil 30th Birthday.

We wish Emma & Mick all the very best success with their business. We highly recommend booking one of their spa pavilions. 5 star accommodation & service.

P.S. we absolutely loved the birthday cake! Thank you so much!
