Woodwark Bay, more than 4000 acres of spectacular property - to be enjoyed by no one but you. In the midst of the Whitsundays there is a jewel - containing exquisitely appointed accommodation for up to 14 guests, offering over 100 km of roads to be explored, providing a private lake to be water-skied and fished on, waterfalls and picnic huts and more surrounded by 50,000 acres of uninterrupted and untracked national parkland - this jewel is Woodwark Bay Retreat.
Woodwark Bay is for your private use - so whether for a honeymoon, romantic getaway, small corporate event or wedding or just a group of friends wanting to escape - you are assured complete privacy at all times. You will not be sharing the retreat with any other guests.
Accommodation and Facilities at Woodwark Bay Retreat
The peace, the tranquility and sheer beauty of this natural jewel is made perfect by several small and perfectly appointed private grass thatched huts - ensuring an environment of luxury and tranquility which wants for nothing. Each hut has a king size bed, air-conditioning, refrigerator, chilled and filtered drinking water.

Dream House |
 |
Set back in a crescent of tropical forest, the Dream House looks east across the bay and beyond to the wings of the distant Double Cone Island. Inside cool limestone floors form steps to a king-size bed where the view is best appreciated. Behind, a beautiful glass-tiled bathroom and a pebble-lined shower that looks through frameless glass into a private bamboo garden.
Main House
The heart of the bay area - a beautiful, thatched, high-gabled communal house that commands stunning views of Woodwark Bay. This is the place where guests gather - on the deep paved verandahs looking seaward, in the dining room, or on deep couches inside - to begin and recall the events of the day. Two hide-away rooms nestle into the ends of the roof.

Pebble House |
 |
Two bedrooms are separated by a galley kitchen that opens onto the lawns bordering the bay. Niches, aquatic fossils and the warm patterned glow of lamps add to the ambience. In one room a golden ladder made from baby ironbark trunks leads to a magical playloft. The master bedroom with king-size bed, ensuite and walk-in robe catches every sublime breeze from windows facing north and east. Adjoining is a bathroom pavilion tiled with white river pebbles... an outdoor bath set in a tropical garden and a shower room for two.

Island Hut |
 |
Swing in the verandah hammock, or recline side by side in the nearby bathhouse screened by a palm forest, and look out on the bay. Aqua blue walls inside reflect the colour of the Whitsunday water. Filled with symbols of the sea like the beautiful antique bamboo rod on the wall, this is a fisherman's hut de luxe.
 |
Siamese Huts |
 |
Two huts joined by a wide raised deck, draped with tropical vines, looking over the lawns and gardens to the bay. Inside find silk, suede and lace and tales from distant lands. Perfect for a family or two couples.
 |
Honeymoon Hut |
 |
Over a bridge in a glade by the beach, the honeymoon hut is close by yet secluded. A timber walkway leads to a bathhouse that hugs the trunk of a silver gumtree. Two baths lie side by side, with a shower and vanity that look into the forest. Walk across the front lawn to the sand and sea.
Location
Woodwark Bay - more than 1300 hectares of untouched spectacular beauty -
secluded but not isolated; surrounded by National Parks, sheltered by a
range of hills and long peninsulas, fronting a long eastern shoreline,
Woodwark Bay's topography is coastal plain, high ridges, valleys, rainforest
and fresh waterways. In the midst of the Whitsundays on the edge of the
Great Barrier Reef, Woodwark Bay Retreat is an oasis in the heart of Queensland's
top tourism destinations.
