3. Gondwana Retreat

63km from Kurnell · 5 sites · Tents · Green Point, NSW

My name is Jason and I am responsible for caring and creating this space.Gondwana Retreat is sacred land. It is sacred to the original people as two rivers meet here which was auspicious, and sacred to me and all that visit. The Aboriginal people used to live and commune here. And now it seems a place where people like to be, and Rest and Rejuvenation - even healing happens here.Since moving here myself in 2014 it has been a place of transformation and change. The land itself was abandoned with rubbish and weeds everywhere when I arrived and with a bit of hard work, some patience and care it has become a place of beauty. It has been returned to much more of its natural and native state. This process of positive change has created a healing in the environment and for myself, and visitors express this magic in the air.Nowadays we are offering meditation, yoga, and therapeutic types of practices in the main home that the land and campsite is a part of. Campers are welcome to join and this really makes staying here an opportunity for exploring these practices if you choose.Be good to share the land and we welcome all to Gondwana retreat!

Great space! Lots of room. Kitchen facilities, toilet and shower amenities made the camping experience so easy. Even took the opportunity to have an outdoor tub time! Easy to find with great communication from Natasha and only an hour from home. This was the perfect space for a first time camping with our dog.

Fabulous place. So much space that no matter how many people are camping you still have plenty of room. A couple of toilets and a shower were an added bonus. Alana was looking after the property while the owners were away and did an exceptional job. She visited everyone to check if we needed anything a few times a day. She was particularly happy to visit us because we had our Newfoundland Gracie with us 😊We will definitely visit again. Also love that it is only 25 minutes from home 😀

We stayed at Natasha's property as a stopover while traveling from the North Coast of NSW to the South Coast. It was the perfect halfway place for us to recharge. The warm shower was nice and the level ground perfect. Would have liked to have stayed longer to explore the area. Natasha was prompt in replying to my messages which was very much appreciated.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Natasha's beautiful property. Us and another family booked the two camp sites on the arena and couldn't have been happier with the location and facilities. So much room, excellent kitchen and bathroom, and the outside bath was a favourite for adults and kids alike. In an added bonus we had some fabulous whale watching just up the road. We will definitely come back.
