Fodor's Expert Review Gilgara Retreat

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

The romantic rooms in this replica 1870 station homestead have open fireplaces and access to a spacious, communal lounge, but if you need to spread out, choose the modern, split-level, self-catering garden suites with dreamy sunken spa baths, atriums, and private sitting areas that overlook the extensive woodland gardens. With 23 rolling acres surrounding the accommodations, you may wake up to the cackling of a Kookaburra or see blue wrens and kangaroos at breakfast.
