Bewong River Retreat is an award winning Wedding venue set on 160 acres of temperate bushland with river frontage.

With nine fully self-contained luxury Bungalows, each with a unique interior decor and theme with views of the South Coasts pristine bush.

The turquoise and aqua’s of the Bottlebrush Bungalow accommodation was inspired by the crystal clear waters of nearby Jervis Bay on the New South Wales South Coast which has beautiful, white, sandy beaches, also near the breathtaking scenery of Kangaroo Valley. The earthy aboriginal colours and traditional feel of the Wattle Bungalow accommodation has its inspiration from the native hunters who passed through the NSW South Coast area. They left spear sharpening marks in rocks, as they prepared to hunt and fish in the bush and waterways surrounding the Bungalows, which can now be enjoyed by all for fishing, swimming, bushwalking and boating. While still enjoying 4 and a half star accommodation on the South Coast.

With three new deluxe bungalow and cabins style accommodation, the Ironbark with an internal Rock Cave theme, and the Spotted Gum with a nautical theme, perfect for the boating enthusiast. Each luxury Bungalow style accommodation is just a short stroll to the lush grass covered banks of the South Coasts Bewong River where you can enjoy a refreshing swim, go boating or throw in a line.
