Umatah Retreat Chalet: Luxury bush retreat with water & city views

Umatah means "you matter". Umatah to us, Umatah to yourself, Umatah to those around you and Umatah to the environment. Umatah is part of the original State Brick Works that was closed down in the 1940’s after their excavations hit an underground spring. The property runs on organic principles and has a mango orchard, apiary, vegetable wicking beds plus various other fruit and nut trees. There is a large waterhole, landscaped gardens and endless native bushland.

The Space:
Umatah Retreat Chalet was designed to nurture wellness and stimulate your senses to encourage relaxation. The chalet is disability friendly with wide doorways and ramped access**. It is surrounded by native bushland and overlooks the tranquil waters of the historic quarry, with city views as the backdrop.

Umatah Retreat Chalet has an open plan living space with full kitchen, two bedrooms, large bathroom and outdoor alfresco area. The bedrooms consists of one master suite with king bed and a second bedroom which can be configured with either two long singles or one king bed.

The outside area is fenced from the main property to keep our friendly dogs, ponies and alpacas off your deck.

Guest Access:
In addition to Umatah Retreat Chalet, guests will have access to the 'green', waterhole and surrounding bushland areas.

Umatah Experiences:
- Kayak on the quarry
- Bird watching
- Bush walking
- Mountain Biking (BYO bike/gear)
(bushwalking and mountain bike tracks are right behind our property)
