Summary: The location was amazing, out in the bush with the kangaroos and other native birds and wildlife. The brumby and her sheep companion came for treats and a visit. Serenaded each night by an owl. The house resembled a historic home and was beautiful.

Summary: Wonderfully kind and friendly hosts who had thpught of everything one might need during their stay. The most gorgeous property. Soothing atmosphere. Plenty of walking spaces, and the fire pit was perfect. The only negative was having to leave when our weekend finished.

Summary: The 3 of us were in the area for a cattle judging trip. We loved the fact that we were a little way out of town. It was quiet..rustic..and large. Lots of room... well appointed ..Bill supplied us with first morning breakfast.. and a semi full kitchen...bread,butter, milk, spreads, bacon,tomatoes etc. In fact it was the home they lubed in for a long time. Beautiful views from verandah. If your looking for quiet retreat atmosphere then this is perfect. Thanks Bill and Norma.

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at Broken Gum Retreat. What Bill and Norma have created here is something very special indeed. The dwelling built with their own hands is something to be seen and experienced and left me in awe to be fair. Not only does it tick all the boxes but the setting, surroundings and serenity enable a very unique stay that was hard to leave. Thanks Bill and Norma for the experience and opportunity to meet you both, and my kids loved it too..
