Luxury at its best in Gloucester. Nestled in the hills overlooking Gloucester Valley, Kia Ora Lookout Retreat is a unique property situated on 30 acres, combining the best of rural lifestyle with modern creature comforts. The Retreat is a captivating getaway for couples, families and friends, less than 10 minutes north Gloucester. The retreat is set is a rural landscape that will never be built out – our nearest neighbours are over the hills and far away. The Kia Ora Retreat is a truly secluded getaway.
The Retreat is a purpose built home that can accommodate up to 10 people. Its 5 double bedrooms all have their own individual bathrooms. The main living room was originally used as a restaurant, and is framed by vaulted wooden ceilings and open fire. The commercial grade kitchen adjoins a breakfast room, and is supplied by its very own kitchen garden in the formal courtyard. The retreat is hooked up to the National Broadband Network, and offers TV, DVD, and Bluetooth stereo. It has boardgames and a diverse library. Even on rainy days, the Retreat offers something for everyone. The stunning views of the Gloucester Valley (there is a reason why Gloucester built a lookout at Kia Ora), are capped off by in in ground salt water pool. The property is set on 30 acres of rolling hills, with a dam that is a favourite of local kangaroos and other fauna. The retreat is located next to the rolling hills of the ‘farm’, where horses and other animals frolic. Remember to bring carrots and you may entice the horses for a feed.
A great basecamp to explore the township of Gloucester, take in the surrounding countryside to discover pristine rivers and groomed parklands. Set out for a day adventure to the World Heritage Barrington Tops Wilderness areas.
