About Kanimbla View Clifftop Retreat

Kanimbla View Clifftop Retreat sits on 12 acres of bush on the Shipley Plateau at Blackheath, looking out across the Kanimbla Valley. It runs as an eco-tourism retreat and can be hired in full for private events, celebrations and group stays. The centre of any event is the Lodge. Its upper level holds a dining area for up to 22 people, while the lower level is a relaxed lounge curving around the fire, with tall sash windows facing the gardens and woodland. A sound system is built into the Lodge, which also has two bathrooms and a large outdoor deck with a barbecue area. Nearby, the 76 square metre Studio works well for yoga, meditation or a breakout session. Guests can sleep on site in architect-designed three-bedroom eco cottages. The retreat's Relaxed package combines two cottages, the Studio and the Lodge, sleeping 12 to 17, with exclusive use of the tennis court, bush walks, lookouts and petanque pitch. Food is flexible. The commercial kitchen comes with crockery, cutlery, glassware, a double oven and a commercial dishwasher, so a group can cook or bring its own chef, and the retreat can also arrange catering or recommend local caterers. For workplaces, midweek catered conference packages include free wi-fi and suit team building in a quiet bush setting. Send an enquiry with your dates and numbers to check availability.

Very cosy, great facilities. The Lodge is a great entertaining space, and then you have the cottages to return to. Some nice short bushwalks to amazing views. Would love to return.
