CALDERA COUNTRY ESCAPE LAKESIDE RETREAT

Introducing: Caldera Countryside Lakeside Retreat

Embark on a weekend of relaxation & rejuvenation &

fun at our Caldera Countryside Lakeside Retreat, where tranquillity meets
adventure in the heart of Northern NSW's stunning Caldera. Our retreat weekend
offers you a sanctuary from the chaos of everyday life, inviting you to immerse
yourself in nature's embrace and rediscover your inner peace.

Experience Tranquillity:

Nestled amidst breathtaking natural landscapes, our lakeside
retreat is a haven for those seeking a bit of nature’s embrace.   Picture yourself waking up to the gentle
lull of the lake, surrounded by towering trees and the sweet symphony of
birdsong. As the sun rises over the horizon, feel the stresses of the world
melt away, replaced by a profound sense of calm and contentment.

Whilst Wi-Fi is available, we encourage you to disconnect.

Embrace your fun side:

While tranquillity reigns supreme, adventure & fun

awaits around every corner at Caldera Countryside. From kayaking and
paddleboarding on the pristine waters of the lake to exploring hidden
waterfalls and rainforest trails, there's no shortage of exhilarating experiences
to captivate your spirit. Dive into the depths of discovery as you uncover the
wonders of the natural world, forging memories that will last a lifetime with
new found friends.

Nourish Your Body and Soul:
 

Indulge in a culinary journey that unburdens you from the
somewhat daily chore of cooking or preparing daily meals.  Our handy cook delights in cooking for others
and will craft us delectable meals using locally sourced ingredients, ensuring
every bite is a celebration of flavour and freshness. Whether you're savouring
a gourmet dinner by the lake or enjoying cocktails at sunset, each dining
experience is a feast for the senses.

Reconnect and Reflect:

Take time to reconnect with yourself and others amidst the

tranquil surroundings of Caldera Countryside. Join in lively conversations by
the campfire, share stories under the starlit sky, and engage in
laughter-filled trivia nights that ignite the soul. Amidst the camaraderie of
fellow retreat-goers, find moments of reflection and connection that enrich the
spirit and nourish the heart.  Or if some
alone time is on your agenda perhaps enjoy a peaceful 'time-out' on the lake on
the cute rowboat, sit still and enjoy the turtles and platypus that call this
paradise home or chill out whilst laying in the hammocks and catch up on your
favourite book or daydream enjoying the placid views over the lake.

Your Retreat, Your Way:

At Caldera Countryside Lakeside Retreat, the experience is

yours to tailor. Choose from a variety of accommodation options, from cozy
tents to luxurious waterfront Lakehouse bungalow, or bring along your campervan
or use ours (space for campervans is limited), each option offering its own
unique charm and comfort. Whether you're seeking a peaceful sanctuary for
solitude or an active playground for adventure, our retreat is yours to explore
and enjoy.  If you haven’t camped before,
don’t let that deter you. This is the perfect introduction to camping.  It’s really a fun experience. We find our first
time campers usually join us for a 2nd camping trip and so on.
