Somewhere Unique was opened in March 2008, and offers a choice of two unique one-bedroom fully self-contained retreats, each with their own individual personality. The retreats have been rated 4.5 STAR by AAA Tourism, and have also been Eco-Friendly STAR accredited.
Located on a
20-acre bushland property in the Wollombi Valley,
Somewhere Unique combines a
tranquil setting with luxurious, romantic couples-only
accommodation, superb comfort and attention to detail.
The architect-designed retreats are furnished in a
contemporary style, and
constructed from Colorbond steel to blend in with the natural
surroundings. Both retreats have been strategically placed to
ensure
privacy for each couple,
and thoughtfully designed to create a harmonious,
luxurious and romantic ambience.
