The Retreat

‘The Retreat’ is a luxury, one-bedroom, self-contained apartment nestled among natural bushland on the hillside overlooking Nelson Bay. As you can see from the photos, the view is quite simply SENSATIONAL! From almost every part of the apartment, you’ll be gazing across the bay to the sparkling Pacific Ocean beyond.
This is truly one of the most magnificent apartments you’ll find anywhere on the coast of Australia. And why wouldn’t it be? Completed in 2007, ‘The Retreat’ is an award-winning, architect-designed masterpiece that fits beautifully into the landscape like a hand into a glove.
‘The Retreat’ boasts a really comfortable pillow-top queen-sized bed, luxury bathroom, full kitchen, lounge and dining area as well as a huge private north-facing sundeck and off-street parking. This gorgeous apartment is all about space, luxury and unsurpassed views.
From ‘The Retreat’, it’s about a 15-minute walk (3-minutes drive) into the vibrant heart of Nelson Bay with all its cafes, award-winning restaurants and plentiful shopping; and about a 3-minute drive to a selection of delightful beaches and parks. The Welcome Folder at the apartment tells you all about the best of everything and gives detailed directions on how to get around.
‘The Retreat’ is – in a word – heavenly. When you walk into the apartment for the first time, you’ll immediately realise... it’s worth every cent (for an indication of our pricing, scroll to the calendar and hover your curser over the dates you are interested in).
