Charleys Forest House | Half Moon Retreat Braidwood

5 Bedroom House in Charleys Forest, Mongarlowe

The house is a beautiful 1903 Federation weatherboard which was moved from Hornsby (Sydney) and lovingly restored with an additional section added to make it a luxurious five-bedroom house with magnificent sweeping views on three sides of the Budawang Mountains and surounding countryside. Spectacular sunrises over the misty mountains just take your breath away! Brilliant night skies, dotted with shooting stars.....
Timber floorboards, high ceilings, french doors that open to huge balconies which run around almost the entire house, where you can sit and watch the sea eagles soar overhead or the wombats graze nearby.
The lounge is amazing! Comfortable sofas, a cosy fireplace and lots of books so you can just curl up, read a good book and savour the peace and tranquility. Lots of books for children too!
It's a place to recharge the batteries and feed the soul!
Features
There are five bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king size bed, a fantastic view through the french doors that open to the side balcony, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite.
Two queen-size bedrooms, beautifully presented, cosy and comfortable.
A boys bedroom with 2 bunk beds, one a double and another single, so sleeps four. A girls room with 2 single bunk beds and a double bed, also sleeps four.
An extensive library with a huge range of excellent books is a key feature. What better way to spend an afternoon than reading a good book amidst such divine suroundings!
The kitchen is made from recycled wool-shed floor boards and boasts a bright fire-engine-red AGA stove which is just stunning! It is great for keeping the kitchen area warm in winter and also for cooking the most delicious roasts ever!
The Aga stove also heats the water that goes to the water heaters in each bedroom to keep them warm and cosy in the winter months.
Double-glazed windows on three sides of the loung/dining/kitchen keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer.
This is a truly GREEN house - a house of the future. It is powered by the sun, made primarily from recycled timber and has a very small carbon footprint!
The Surrounds
Half Moon Retreat is set in 335 acres of virgin bush which has been designated as a Wild Life Refuge. It is a very special place, teaming with flora and fauna some quite unique to this area. The property has a rich history with many diggings and water races, testament to the bustling Gold Rush period of the 1800s and originally part of the range of the Walbanga/Wandandian Aboriginal tribes.
Its boundaries on three sides are the Mongarlowe River, Bob's Creek and Feagan's Creek. A chain of lagoons on one boundary is home to an incredible range of wildlife, featuring a family of stately black swans with their cygnets trailing along.....
You can take the most amazing bush walks or, in summer, swim in the Mongarlowe River along side the platypus! Or you can just sit and read quietly and listen to the hush of the bush! It is a place to relax and restore your energies.
Half Moon Retreat is indeed a magnificent luxury bush paradise!

Summary: Yes, this is my second review on this place. I love this house and bush walks around it, the view and the sound of the birds. I also really appreciate the fact that it’s a sustainable house with solar power and rainwater. A lot of space for a big group, and thanks to Georgina and Reg for being helpful all the time.

Summary: Great weekend away in this well lived in place for a group of people. Rainy weekend spent by the fire. Complete isolation with only wildlife for company. If there has been rain, may need a 4WD as the dirt track can get a bit slippery.

Summary: Perfect place for groups to get away and enjoy peace and serenity. Beautiful country house with a huge fireplace - very cosy. The views are incredible. Georgina was great with communication and the local real estate agent was very hospitable in taking us to the house and showing us around. The only thing we didn’t realise was getting to the house is a track through a couple of paddocks - which was nice, however some of our smaller cars suffered a bit getting in, so an SUV or 4WD is a good idea. Thank you for a lovely weekend :)

Summary: Beautiful property, the house did feel a little bit lived in which I wasn’t expecting. The land lords were so lovely and had communication with us. A great place to go when you’re wanting to get away.

Summary: The property is very remote yet has all the mod cons one needs to enjoy a nature/bush retreat. Large open plan living with a huge deck for evening BBQs. Host was prompt, detailed and professional, thanks Georgina, we loved halfmoon. The pictures on stayz dont do the place justice, the view off the back deck is 270 degrees of pure untouched Australian nature. Highly recommend this house, location and host
