Banjos Bushland Retreat, Vacy

Banjos Bushland Retreat has three luxurious lodges and exclusive recreation centre that brings a five-star touch to bush getaways for couples, families and large groups.

Banjos is a multi-award winning and advanced ecotourism accredited property set in 20 acres of private bushland on the upper slopes of the Moonabung Ranges overlooking a dramatic swathe of the Hunter Valley and Barrington Tops. Banjos has been architect designed and constructed to complement the stunning environment. Guests have a choice of three spacious, unhosted lodges – Brumbys Run has four bedrooms and Swagmans Rest has two bedrooms and the newest edition – Clancys has three bedrooms, all with private en-suites and king-size beds.

Whichever lodge suits your requirements you will have magnificent views from every room with all the trimmings you would expect. The stunning cathedral ceilings in all living areas further enhance the guests feeling of spaciousness and the luxurious leather lounges in front of the slow combustion wood fireplaces contribute to the ambience.

Banjos also offers its guests the exclusive use of its recreational facilities – and the list is sensational. There is a full-size tennis court with stunning views, a 9-hole mini-golf course, a large indoor spa with glass concertina doors that open out to the bush, a sauna, table tennis, billiards, giant chess set, magnetic dart board, childrens adventure playground, swings and mountain bikes. Guests also have access to restaurants, a salt-water swimming pool and many nature trails.

An abundance of wildlife will simply delight everyone: kangaroos, wallabies, possums, echidnas, plus a wide variety of stunning native birds all visit on a daily basis.

With accommodation and facilities of this standard, its easy to understand why Banjos Bushland Retreat has held a AAA Tourism rating as a 5-star retreat for the past three years, as well as winning a multitude of tourism and business awards in its brief lifetime.

Whether its just a weekend break or a one-week immersion, Banjos will give you a holiday you wont forget in a long time.
