Waterfall Springs Retreat & Wildlife Sanctuary is a romantic luxury escape and a sanctuary dedicated to rehabilitating wallabies and kangaroos. Located an hour and a half from Sydney in the Central Coast, about 30 minutes from Gosford, lies this beautiful adults only relaxing retreat. Set in Kulnura, it offers luxury boutique styled accommodation with barbecue facilities, a garden, a pool and a shared lounge. Waterfall Springs Retreat and Wildlife Sanctuary is nestled amongst 33 acres of serene and quintessentially Australian bushland and the property’s name is derived from the four waterfalls that are on the bush track surrounding it. The retreat can host up to four couples at a time. Aside from the glamping tent they property has two suites and one apartment. Each suite opens up to the outdoors with garden views from the freestanding bathtubs big enough for two and has a gas fire to add to the cosy atmosphere. A gas log fire place in every suite only adds to the ambience of each room. The bedding and linen is of the highest quality and so comfortable. I had the best nights sleep since leaving the Irish countryside several years ago. The only think…
South Australia is the perfect place for a road trip and the most underrated state in my opinion. From the stunning coastline of the Eyre Peninsula’s, multiple award winning wine regions, the wildlife of Kangaroo Island, and the red hues of the South Australia outback, the diversity on offer in this state is second to none. The state is known as the rock pool state and I will show you why later in this blog. It is a huge state with a lot of it being outback, you could spend weeks travelling around and discovering hidden beaches, national parks and heading off road. We only had ten days to explore this state and squeeze in the top sights to see in South Australia. HOW LONG TO GO FOR? You could spend a few months as I said travelling around and exploring the coast line, inland and the outback. A month is a decent amount of time and most travellers would get to see the majority of the state. You can break it up into two one week holidays exploring different areas or jam pack the highlights (in our opinion) in 10 days. CAMPER VAN OR CAR? You can see…
Kangaroo Island is the modern day Noah’s Arc located off the south east coast of South Australia. It is one of the world’s greatest nature destinations abundant with wildlife, native bushland and marine life. The island has 509 km of coastline and is 155km from East to West. You definitely need longer than you think. The island os much bigger than expected and some of the roads unsealed which slows down travel time. It is not advisable to drive at night, dusk or dawn due to the high numbers of wildlife. Driving through the island you will see a lot of road kill which is so sad so please respect the animals habitat and don’t drive at night. There is a lot to see on this amazing island and there are not enough adjectives to describe just how magical it is. HOW TO GET THERE By sea: The ferry leaves from Cape Jervis, about a 2 hour drive south of Adelaide. Kangaroo Island SeaLink’s vehicle and passenger ferry service operates daily (except Christmas Day) between Cape Jervis and Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island. The ferry takes just 45 minutes and you can bring your…
