Company information

After 17 years of living in Port Macquarie we began searching for a tree change to escape the rat race, we stumbled upon this rural retreat in December 2021 and knew it was going to be our home. Telegraph Retreat cottages have been providing luxury farm-stay accommodation for over 10 years and we are so excited to now share it with you! We are learning so much about the land and we look forward to providing a high quality accommodation option in our serene surroundings. It has been a life changing experience for our family and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Our guest books are filling up full of happy customers so we think its working so far!
