What is a Pavilion? A question often asked!
Unlike other local accommodation offerings with cabins, cottages, villas or ‘retreats’, Wild Edge comprises of four luxurious and private Pavilions.
Wikipedia describes a Pavilion as: ‘An architectural free-standing structure sited a short distance from the main residence, whose architecture makes it an object of pleasure. Large or small there is usually a connection with relaxation and pleasure in its intended use. A Pavilion is often built to take advantage of a view’.
Each of our Pavilions certainly offer all of the above, plus our clever open plan design ensures our Guest’s fully experience our spectacular and unsurpassed views from every aspect, no matter what time of day.
How 'private' are the Pavilions?
All of our Pavilions are separate individual structures, with no common walls, and have been architecturally designed & located on the Retreat to ensure complete privacy whilst using your Pavilion. All deck and pool areas are fully screened to ensure complete privacy but take advantage of the property’s amazing views…
So if you forget to bring your swimming costume, it doesn’t matter
Are all of your Pavilions the same?
All of our four Pavilions have almost identical layouts & appointments and each one has it’s own private pool.
The main difference between them is that two Pavilions are located on the South Side of the Property – Whispering Forest & Nature’s Mist – and two are located on the North side of the property – Earth Song & Wind Spirit
What’s Included in the Breakfast provisions?
Ample Breakfast provisions are provided for your stay and include a selection of local free-range eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, breads, cereals, fruit pots, yogurt, juice, oranges, butter, margarine, milk, a selection of Twinings teas & Nespresso coffee capsules, Beerenberg conserves, Vegemite, Peanut Butter, Tomato & BBQ sauces and condiments.
Should you require extra provisions during your stay, just contact our Reception.
If you have special dietary requirements please let us know prior to your arrival.
When are the Pools Heated?
Our pools are solar heated all year round which is most effective between October to May, when the sun is shining. Beyond these months the ambient temperature is generally too cold for the solar heating to have any significant effect.
Can we Smoke at the Retreat?
We do have a strict ‘no smoking’ policy for all of our Pavilions and public areas. Smoking is only permitted on the deck of your Pavilion and ashtrays are provided. Due to our unique and sensitive location, particularly during times of strong winds and the warmer months, when there may be risk of bush fires, we ask that you put some water into the ashtray to ensure that all cigarette butts are fully extinguished.
What time is Check-in and Check-out?
Personalised Check-in from: 3:00pm until 8:00pm
Arrivals between 8pm and 10pm incur a $50 surcharge
Arrivals between 10pm and 12 midnight incur a $100 surcharge
Arrivals after midnight by arrangement only!
Check-out is departure from the Retreat by 11am.
We can only offer a later check-out if we don’t have guests checking-in on your day of departure. Late check-outs can’t be confirmed until the night before departure.
Can I use my Mobile Phone at the Retreat?
Due to our remote location, mobile reception at the Retreat is very limited. The Retreat does get some 4G coverage with Telstra and Optus. Wi-Fi is available and you can easily enable Wi-Fi calling on your smartphone. This allows you to make and receive calls using the Wi-Fi signal. Each of the Pavilion’s does have a land line – so you can call loved ones to let them know you have arrived safely!
Can I use my iPad or Laptop at the Retreat?
Yes you can. We do have complimentary WiFi throughout the Retreat which is powered by Starlink satellites. Please bear with us if it is not always as fast as it is in the City! Due to the location of the Retreat, during storms, we can at times have problems with our internet speed.
Are the log fires 'real' or just gas?
Our fires are ‘real’ slow combustion log fires. They give off great radiant heat during the cooler months.
We only burn dead trees from our property that would otherwise rot. By doing this we only omit the same carbons as would be released into the atmosphere by the slow rotting process.
When do you light the log fires?
Generally, our log fires are stacked and ready for use from early May until the October long weekend. These times may vary depending on the weather. Our fires are designed to give off good radiant heat, so it does need to be fairly cold outside to fully appreciate them.
Are any of your Pavilions wheelchair friendly?
Yes! Our Whispering Forest pavilion has no steps is accessible by wheelchair from our Boardwalk and has handrails in the shower and bathroom. Whispering Forest also has an Outdoor Rock-wall Shower built onto the deck that can be accessed in a wheelchair. Whilst Wild Edge is not suitable for family pets, we happily welcome legitimate Service Animals and Guide Dogs. Please call us to discuss the options for Whispering Forest.
Can I bring my pet to the Retreat?
Unfortunately, due to the large number of wildlife who visit the Retreat on a daily basis, Wild Edge is not suitable for family pets. We do happily welcome legitimate Service Animals and Guide Dogs. Our Whispering Forest Pavilion is wheelchair accessible and has handrails in the shower and bathroom. Please call us to discuss the options should you want to bring your Service Animal or Guide Dog to the Retreat.
Do all of the Pavilions have Bi-Fold Doors?
Whispering Forest and Nature’s Mist have Bi-Fold doors, but due to past misuse of the Bi-Folds we have had to lock the main section closed. Only the end section can now be opened as a french door.
Earth Song and Wind Spirit do not have Bi-Folds but have large sliding doors.
Is Wild Edge Retreat suitable for corporate retreats or family events?
Absolutely! Refurbished in 2018 and expanded in 2022, we’re ideal for small corporate retreats, team-building, executive escapes or family events. Book all Four pavilions for groups up to 8 adults, with the same luxurious amenities and serene setting fostering creativity and relaxation. Plus we have multiple Starlink units to keep everyone connected while you are here!
What a beautiful welcome back!
As always, Wild Edge has provided the most magical respite. Just amazing!

Katrina & Baine Anniversary, November 2024
Ultimate serenity
The perfect spot to get away from the rigours of life for a few days.
Ken & Cathy Getway, April 2024
Most relaxing experience we could have hoped for
I found Wild Edge Retreat for our Easter Stay and it was the most relaxing experience we could have hoped for. Hampers ordered (BBQ, Ploughmans & Cheese) gave us ample food as well as the included Breakfast Hamper. We loved every minute of being surrounded by nature in this lovely Pavilion.
Karin & John Getaway, April 2024
"This is our fourth stay and it just gets better"
We had an amazing three nights at the idyllic Wild Edge Retreat. You are a part of nature in your totally self-sufficient Pavilion that is so well equipped, right down to the best bed we have ever slept in. The pool and outdoor shower in Whispering Forest were superb. All is topped off by the warmest welcome and personable nature of Emma and Mick who cater for your every care. Thank you again and we look forward to returning to your special place of serenity at Wild Edge Retreat.
Mark & Sue Getaway, September 2025
