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.

Waking up to breathtaking views and the sound of birds calling mad the whole experience feel peaceful and restorative. The infinity pool was an amazing addition.

Aga & Stuart Getaway, January 2024

Thank you so much 🙂

Fantastic getaway in Australia's nature & Hunter Valley, very refreshing, great stay. Our 2nd Anniversary & loved the complimentary wine & greeting card.

Aaron & Nuriye Anniversary, December 2017

Another unforgettable few days!

Becoming like a second home. It's just so luxurious, yet laid back. Just knowing you're going to be left alone for your whole break (unless you need something) means that as a couple you can totally be yourselves & grow.

Chris & Jo Getaway, February 2024

"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.

Highly Recommend!

Wild Edge is truly a perfect place to book if you're looking for a private, welcoming adult retreat. Allowing you to unplug with your partner and reconnect with each other and nature.

Anisa & Ameer Babymoon, September 2025

We loved our stay in Whispering Forest

The peace & tranquility was just what we needed. The Pavilion is immaculate with everything you need for a luxurious stay.

Neil & Adrienna Getaway, February 2025

"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.

Nikita & Charles Anniversary, March 2024

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.
