Christine F
Our stay at Tranquil Retreat was so amazing.
January 2024

One of a kind holiday destination. The addition of the kayaks and paddleboards made it even better. Spent most days by the water as we didn't need to leave the house. All the added extras like soaps, shampoos, cleaning and washing products meant we didn't need to head to the shops. Didn't catch any fish but the local fish and chip shop at Jones Beach was amazing! Could have fit in an extra family or 2. Heaps of bedding and rooms.

This was the most amazing house!
April 2023

The kitchen had all we needed & the view was just breathtaking, especially at sunrise & sunset. The kids used the kayaks & sup everyday & swam & fished in the river. The place had comfortable beds & linen. Would highly recommend & hope to stay again soon.

Awesome location with direct access to the river.

Views are amazing!
December 2022

Accommodated 9 of us perfectly. We were there for Christmas and the kitchen was fabulous for catering. We made plenty of use of kayaks and paddle boards. Overall faultless.

Will definitely look to book again!

Minnamurra and this holiday home was a great discovery, not too far from Sydney but a world away !!! “Tranquil Retreat” is indeed a great place to relax and enjoy a family holiday. Our family ( parents and 2 boys teen and preteen) loved exploring the river on kayaks and paddle boards provided, and discovering Mystics beach on the other side of the river. A private beach!! We loved being situated on the Kiama coastal walk, the nearby headland and whale watching platform - great scenery!!. Being there in winter, the double glazing and the wood fire made it very cozy (kept the boys fascinated by the fire) but the large windows & doors connect you to the ever changing view of the river. House has everything you need and is very comfortable. Will definitely look to book again, maybe in summer to enjoy the local beaches and, after lock down, explore the local restaurants.
