Our History

The application to build Wild Edge Retreat was approved by Cessnock City Council in July 2000.

Our road construction started in 2000 and was finished in 2001.

Ground was broken on the Retreat in 2000.

Stage One with our first two Pavilions, Whispering Forest and Nature’s Mist opened on 17 April 2003.

Eighteen months later the third and fourth Pavilions, Earth Song and Wind Spirit were added,
opening on Boxing Day in 2004.

A partial refurbishment was undertaken in 2018, with additional upgrades in 2020 with private pools being added to Earth Song and Whispering Forest.

In December 2019, the bushfires came thru the Retreat property, coming within a metre of some of our structures. Thankfully, after forty eight hours on fire-fighting, the Retreat received very little damage.

In May 2024, Natures Mist’s pool was renovated with a pebble-crete interior finish and new paver surrounds.

The original owners, Rod & Jennie created a wonderful concept and property that we continue to further improve and develop.

We are honoured that Rod & Jennie return to Wild Edge each year to celebrate their anniversary and are still involved in the property’s ongoing evolution.

Wild Edge Retreat provided us with the best 'home away from home' experience in the Hunter Valley. It's the perfect accommodation to choose for your Anniversary. The warm welcome from Emma plus the serene location of the Pavilion made our stay truly relaxing and unforgettable.

Annilyn + Steve Anniversary, June 2025

3 days wasn't enough

Thank you for making our 30th Wedding Anniversary so special. The cake was wonderful. 3 days wasn't enough. We could have stayed for another few days. So relaxing and so quiet, only the birds to listen to. Beautiful. We will be back and a bit longer next time.

Debbie & Grant 30th Anniversary, November 2025

We definitely plan to return in the future

Thank you Emma & Mick for the opportunity to experience this lovely Retreat as part of Monique and I's wedding anniversary.

Tim & Monique Anniversary, October 2023

This has quickly become a favourite birthday retreat!

Thank you for the warm 'Welcome Back'. The inclusions/provisions are the perfect touch and the stunning views from the balcony (especially the morning mist) is just breathtaking. Thank you again, see you next year! xx

Bonnie & Natham Birthday, November 2023

Absolute luxury with the friendliest service.

The perfect little getaway to escape and relax with some of the most beautiful views.

Josh & Claire Getaway, January 2018

An absolutely wonderful experience.

We have stayed in many places in the Hunter Valley and Wild Edge has been by far the best place we have stayed. Couldn't have asked for anything more for our anniversary weekend.

Miles & Penny Anniversary, June 2018

The views are breath taking & the quiet is just amazing

If you are looking for a luxury stay to unplug & unwind, this is the place. The love & thoughfulness that Emma & Mick have put into our stay is nothing we have experienced before. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you 🙂

Alicia & Geoff Birthday, July 2023

Loved every minute!

We spent our 38th Wedding Anniversary here; but won't be waiting another year to come back - we will definitely be back before then! Peaceful, tranquil and private paradise. Everything was perfect. Plenty of breakfast, tea & coffee options. Thank you.

Donna & Lance Anniversary, March 2025

The actual Pavilion looked even better in real life!

This Retreat was everything we were looking for. Absolutely amazing, feel completely away from the world. We stay in many resorts / retreats and this is by far the best experience to date. Emma & Mick are excellent.

Thanks - we enjoyed our stay & plan to come back.

Andrew & Cheryl Getaway, October 2023

Wild Edge Retreat was the perfect winter getaway.

We loved every minute of our stay - particularly relaxing in the spa bath and sitting by the fire. Waking up to sweeping valley views and birdsongs has been such a treat. We can't wait to stay again soon.

Jess & Scott Getaway, June 2018

Loved our 3 night stay

Private deck was a treat. Weather superb to enjoy the Day Bed & Pool.

Denise & Steve Getaway, October 2023

20 years since our first stay & Wild Edge has only improved

Highly recommend

Warm + welcoming on a cold day with lovely music and the log fire burning in the fireplace on arrival. Every last detail is thought of for an extremely relaxing, private, serene, indulgent time away in natural beauty.

Gilbert & Lynda Getaway, May 2021

We have enjoyed the most relaxing couple of days at Wild Edge.

It was a truly memorable way to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Very quiet and peaceful and the accommodation is so luxurious, we could not have asked for more.

The host, Emma was an amazing friendly host. She ensured our stay was smooth & we were well looked after. We were provided a lot of facilities & extras during our stay.

James & Miralta Honeymoon, April 2021

I could not recommend this place enough.

An incredibly stunning place to switch off, relax & rejunvinate. The privacy is welcomed as long as you are ok to share the space with the local birds & dragonflies. Having our own private pool & daybed was bliss.

Megan & Darren Getaway, November 2024

They treat everyone like Mick Jagger!

Amazing place. Peace & Quiet... Great view, especially sunest. I could think and see the wildlife. Best food and getaway!

Photos don't do justice.

The pool was the perfect temp. The bathroom was amazing. Extremely clean. The bed was 10 out of 10. We would stay again and recommend to family and friends. Pay the extra money for the "Wind Spirit" pavilion... You won't regret it. Thank you.

Stephanie & Ryan Getaway, November 2024

"It was stunning"

We stayed in Nature's Mist Pavilion. The room is so comfortable, views are amazing. The amenities are excellent or high quality. It was such an excellent choice for us to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.

Adam & Amanda Anniversary, September 2025

"Batteries back to full"

Our wedding anniversary weekend is the one weekend in the year when my wife and I get away from everything and everyone. Just to recharge ourselves. The Retreat welcomed us beautifully, gently and quietly put us at rest.

We wished we could have stayed longer

Our only disappointment was staying only 2 nights. Emma met us on arrival and was fantastic. She helped us to our Pavilion and showed us around. We were then afforded as much privacy as we wanted for the entire stay. We will be back 🙂

Kevin & Margaret Getaway, October 2018

We visited for our Anniversary & it was amazing

Emma is amazing! The room was relaxing , the pool was spectacular. Will revisit!

Our stay was incredibly relaxing & serene
