Bower Retreat is a four bedroom self contained house at Main Creek, around 6km from Dungog NSW. As part of a small farm property, Bower Retreat is the perfect place to let your kids interact with cows, dogs, horses and chickens, along with all the natural wildlife in the area.
If you could only choose one word to describe Bower Retreat it would be “relaxing”. Even though we spent the bulk of our days checking out local attractions and activities, everything in this region oozes with the relaxed atmosphere you can only experience in rural areas. Adding to the generally slow pace of the area was the homely welcome you get from the owners of the retreat. Little touches like fresh eggs in the fridge, chopped firewood next to the fireplace all added to the experience.
Apart from all the new sights, sounds and smells to explore around the house, there were also bikes to ride, toys to play with and a table tennis set in the shed. The kids were entertained from dawn until dusk, which ensured their parents got some much sought after recuperation.
The house itself is in good condition without being as clinically maintained as a city based apartment. While respecting somebody else’s property, you never get the feeling that you have to follow the kids around to make sure they weren’t touching anything. Everything you need is in the house along with two toilets and two showers, including one outside.
There is a vineyard, horse riding, walking trails, heritage landmarks, dairy farms and much more nearby and Dungog is just down the road for supplies.
All in all, this was one of the most relaxing and value for money holidays we have had in years.
