About this property

Wilde Retreat Farm House

Our Farmhouse is a beautiful renovated and extended 1950’s home located on Yorke Peninsula, approximately 3 hours from Adelaide CBD .

The farmhouse offers a taste of country living where your family and friends can enjoy quality time together off grid, take in the fresh air, starry night sky, native scrub, wildlife and explore all the Yorke Peninsula has to offer.

The Wilde Retreat Farmhouse sleeps up to 33 people across 7 bedrooms:
- Bedroom 1: King Bed
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed
- Bedroom 3: Queen Bed
- Bedroom 4: 1 Treble & 1 single bunk
- Bedroom 5: 1 Treble & 1 single bunk
- Bedroom 6: 1 treble & 2 single bunks
- Bedroom 7: Sleeps 10 bunk bed style (due to current covid cleaning procedures we do not open this bedroom for groups under 16 people)

Please note we do not supply towels.

There is no need to live on top of each other as the enormous floor space of the farm house features:
- 2 lounge areas
- 2 well equipped kitchens with one dishwasher
- Large entertaining area
- Mezzanine floor with balcony
- Extensive decking and veranda with BBQ.
- Fire-pit area nestled in natural scrub a stones throw from the homestead.

The Farm House is near the southern coast of the peninsula where many beaches, rock pools, fishing spots and cliffs can be explored. Just a 40 minute drive to the popular Marion Bay and into Innes National Park. 15 minutes drive to Warooka for the nearest shops, and 20 minutes drive to Point Turton if you fancy a bit of Jetty fishing.

We host ‘Wilde Retreat Cottage’ on the property also, their driveway takes them behind the Farmhouse however the two dwellings are not visible to each other. We ask that you respect their privacy and stay within the boundaries of the farmhouse- outlined in our guest agreement.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this property, well equipped house with all facilities I was bit concerned about cold because we went in pick winter but all rooms were equipped with heating system so didn’t feel cold at all. Best customer service provided by Emma. Excellent property for larger group.

A holiday home that exudes the feeling of freedom
I have rated "accuracy of online listing" as a 3 only because pictures don't do justice to this property. We were a group of 15 people - 10 adults and 5 kids and this home embraced us as soon as we opened doors. Every detail has been meticulously selected to be placed in the right spot. The house is clean, spacious and everything is to the point. 2 big refrigerators, a dining table that could accommodate all of us together for an Easter lunch and pots, pans and crockery enough for big groups. The only thing that needs refurbishment is the living room sofa and a few mattresses. But will definitely recommend this place.

Pre- Christmas celebrations
Perfect property for our large group, brilliant layout with bedding arrangements including dorm style room for the bigger kids. Multiple entertaining areas + 2 kitchens made it easy for many people preparing meals and no being on top of one another. Would definitely recommend and would love to return one year!!

Family reunion
Thanks Emma! Property was perfect! It was the perfect place to get away for our family/cousins réunion, everything was clean, great large areas to be altogether. Probably the only thing that was difficult was only 2 toilets and them being in the bathrooms made it hard between 22 people. Other than that was very happy and everyone enjoyed the weekend. Thanks again

Large comfortable home for a large group, with a few unexpected problems.
We were disappointed with the back yard as it was not suitable for dogs as was not secure and very dusty and dry. We were very conscious of our water usage and all adults only had one shower each during our 4 day stay and the water pump kept switching off. During our stay it became very windy and something above the kitchen and bbq flue kept banging very loudly which made it very difficult to sleep at night.

Amazing Holiday Rent
Stayed at this rental over 4 nights and was so impressed. Loved the isolation and the facilities. A fantastic place to enjoy a fire under the night sky and a great base to explore the bottom of Yorke Peninsula. Dom

Stunning Easter weekend with 15 adults and 5 dogs. The property was secluded and peaceful. Plenty of space to get away when you just wanted to chill or read a book. Would go to the property again.

Larger group or Girls trip or larger family getaway
Only complaints would be outside areas not very clean. Difficult to sit outside anywhere on the outside furniture because of mess from birds. Evidence of mice and actually caught mice in traps we set in the house. Expect this in country areas. House itself was very clean. Good to be able to use all rooms and not have to climb on top bunks as we were all in the older age bracket.

great size
perfect stay for kids and the whole family. heaps of space and beds, excellent kitchen and cooking area. kids loved playing hide and seek around the yard. not too far for day trips to marion bay. i would happily stay again and recommend to friends. the property could do with a little attention like cobwebs around the property and very dusty fans, otherwise would present very nicely

Great off the beaten track getaway
The Farm retreat was great, an abundance of space, didn’t feel like we were living on top of one another. Everything is exactly as promised! Would recommend a dishrack for the house with a large group all doing dishes makes it hard. Bring your own hand towels and tea towels as well as bath towels as there are no hand towels provided and the tea towels aren’t the most absorbent. Other than that great property, plenty of space and a comfortable getaway.

This is incredible accomodation
15 friends and 1 went on a little fishing trip over the past weekend and we stayed at this accomodation. I must say that this place is absolutely incredible!!! The house is so beautiful with 2 amazing kitchens, I awesome fire pit with concrete from the house to pit. The photos of the accomodation do not do it justice. Thank you so much!!!

Lovely rustic setting for big groups
Peaceful setting with lots is space to sprawl and relax. Great day trip options all around but you may also just want to enjoy the multiple living areas and spend time with loved ones amongst an authentic old South Australian rural setting. We loved it.

Great family get away
Lots of space. Having two separate living and sleeping areas was great having two families with young kids. Bathrooms were clean and tidy with good water pressure. Enormous dining table big enough to seat at least 12. Beds comfy, with half of the rooms having ceiling fans. Huge outside yard for the kids and dogs to roam. Close to lots of beautiful beaches.

I booked this property for a family holiday, the home is lovely enough room for us all
The home was perfect for our family of 14 Adults and 14 kids, and being able to bring our pets was great. The kids had a great time around the property with plenty of space. The home had everything we needed to cook our meals having 2 kitchens and 2 fridges was a bonus, the home was clean and the beds very comfortable. Waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds singing was so lovely. However, unfortunately HomeAway web site was very difficult to work with, communication with them was difficult and the property was listed with wrong information, and the property became very difficult to find on their site, as it kept disappearing, I needed to contact the Owners to be able to finalise my booking.
