Red Dog Retreat Cottages

The hideaway of your dreams nestled high up on the edge of an ancient rainforest.

Featured in the SMH Good Weekend - 52 Weekends Away

This secluded retreat offers peace and privacy, helping you to escape the stresses of everyday life whilst admiring the beauty of a rainforest teaming with wildlife.

Whether its a romantic getaway or a relaxing break with friends and family, Red Dog Retreat is the place for you. It also offers you the option of bringing your dog and save on those kennel fees!

In summer, you can be on the beach in 20 minutes and then come home to the seclusion and cooler mountain breezes on Cambewarra Mountain which overlooks most of Shoalhaven. Seven Mile Beach at Shoalhaven Heads is dog friendly, so your canine friend will be happy too!

Enjoy the fantastic shops and award winning restaurants of Berry or Kangaroo Valley and then wind down at sunset on your covered veranda with a refreshing glass of something cool while you spot our resident wombats and birdlife.

In winter you can snuggle up in front of the wood burning stove. After that take time out to soak up the atmosphere in our spa baths or have a massage from a therapist that will visit the cottage, before hitting the sack to recharge the batteries and awaken to the sound of native birdsong, welcoming in the next day.

The cottage has two bedrooms and is designed with a rustic feel to blend in with the tranquil rainforest setting. To compliment this each is furnished with an array of eclectic furniture providing all the creature comforts of home. The main bedroom has a ceiling fans and French doors opening up onto the verandah to catch the cool summer breezes. Whilst during the winter months you can enjoy the warmth of the wood burning stove in the cosy living room.

With mountains and beaches virtually at your front door there is an endless list of activities to entertain you during your stay.

All this can be yours in just over 2.5 hours drive from both Sydney or Canberra so why not book your next escape today!

If the calendar is busy, we have another cottage so give the owner a call to see if the second cottage is free. Each sleeps a maximum of 4 people. Many people book both cottages for groups of up to 8 people; it is the perfect location to spend quality relaxing time with your friends or family. The cottages are about 70 metres apart and are on different elevations so offer complete privacy if required. Ask the owner if you wish to book both cottages.

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR BASIC PRICING IS FOR 2 PEOPLE. ADDITIONAL PEOPLE, WHETHER ADULTS OR CHILDREN, ARE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $25 PER PERSON PER NIGHT. WE DON'T CHARGE FOR BABIES. IN ORDER TO GIVE SOME GUESTS A CHEAPER OPTION, WE ALLOW GUESTS TO OPT TO BRING THEIR OWN BED LINEN AND TOWELS. IF WE SUPPLY THEM, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL $50 CHARGE. WE ALSO CHARGE $50 IF YOU BRING A DOG. PLEASE SEE OUR WEBSITE FOR DETAILS.

The cabin was quite remote, but fully equipped with everything we’d need. We’d been warned the fridge was on the smaller side, but it was perfectly adequate for our needs. The weather was very changeable, but the living room was cosy and comfortable for relaxing and reading. So enjoyable to be away from the city sounds, with birdsong the only sound. Slept very well and left feeling refreshed.

INCREDIBLE
Everything you could possibly want from a weekend away. The property was clean and well equipped, the hosts are super thoughtful and considerate. I can’t wait to come and stay again. I have never felt sadder leaving a place! It was so calming and beautiful. Sally, thank you for your kindness!

Best location for fresh air
Sally was very attentive to little details (reminding us that the children will have to share the double bed or that there's no microwave) which helped a lot in planning for the trip. The place is very clean and you can't get better fresh air!

Charming cottage in quiet location
This rustic cottage catered to all of our needs to enjoy a quiet few days in forest surroundings. The wildlife did not disappoint with Lyre birds and wombats spotted. Inside the cottage was clean and comfortable. Was a peaceful stay.

Lovely rustic cottage in peaceful location
My adult daughter and I had a really lovely stay in this delightful little rustic cottage. It’s very comfortable and is in a gorgeous peaceful location. We were surrounded by birdsong and were lucky enough to see 7 wombats on one of our walks down the local road at dusk. We found the beds very comfortable, as well as the sofas in the lounge room. We didn’t use the fire but very much appreciated the heaters which worked very well. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we need to cook simple meals. Sally was a great communicator and gave us all the information we needed for a great stay. We loved the delicious eggs she kindly left us. I would be very happy to stay here again.

Property was small and didn’t fully resemble the pictures There was moss on the outer walls which due to lack of care causes a damp smell inside. My wife and I decided to find somewhere else after been there for half hour. Place needs a bit of TLC and not semi pro photos to make it look better
