“We had such a wonderful glamping stay! The whole experience was peaceful, comfortable and beautifully set up. The accommodation was spotless, cosy and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We loved being surrounded by nature while still having all the comforts of home. The attention to detail really made the stay special and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable escape!”

PLAY
Watercliff is the place for active relaxers. That is, if your idea of a weekend getaway involves swimming, rivers or bush walks, you probably won’t want to leave. The stresses of the day melt away and total relaxation is the order of the day. With your privacy assured, you can sit back, relax and listen to the river and birds on your private deck or outdoor bath and connect to nature and each other. At night you can hear morepork call whilst admiring the stars above. Dreamy.
Our love for nature is the reason we created Watercliff. We ask that you tread softly, live proudly, and treat our wonderful ecosystem with the same respect.

We’re an ecosystem; a community. We value our friends and suppliers as much as our guests, and if we can do something locally, we will. And hope they think the same.
Our Builders - Way Builders
Watercliff would still be drawings on a page if it wasn’t for the amazing team at Way Builders. Brothers Mike and Steve have become part of our family, and their new recruit Luke is pretty sharp too.
Our Photographer - Claire Mossong
Claire is a local creative photographer who just gets it. Simply put, she captures effortless beauty more than any words we could put here.
Our Coffee Suppliers - Excelso
Our coffee is supplied locally by Excelso, who are also kindergarten friends of Delia. It just so happens they roast damn tasty coffee. Trust us, we’ve taste tested it many times.
