Flinders Island Retreat at Cooma House is a hosted guesthouse experience for groups like family or friends, and acquaintances. There are five double rooms with en-suites – one is all-access. Daily meals available using island produce – paddock to plate – with fresh-picked garden herbs. Come down for air!

Your sound-proofed room and en-suite, including a separate toilet, smart TV, heating, cooling, quality bedding on either kings, queens or splits, awaits. Small break-out spaces are tucked around the house. Think Auberge or Trattoria.

Slow down, walk the labyrinth, watch the clouds and count your steps to the shore.

They have a private ten acres on the doorstep of the National Park. Enjoy views through tall trees to the sea. Petrafaction Bay is a stroll down the drive.

Original artworks feature in all rooms. There are shelves of contemporary fiction – ditch the guilt and read a book!

Wendy offers cooking schools and other packages, intimate weddings too. It’s six degrees warmer in winter than Melbourne, staying at Flinders Island’s first settlement.

“This place is unique – so much more friendly and homely than staying in traditional hotels/motels. We feel part of the family … (it has) ambience and atmosphere.”

This long king bed can be split into two king singles. A free two-course breakfast is included and other meals are available. You’re invited to browse contemporary fiction or research books in the library or walk the labyrinth or stroll along the beaches below. Your host is a ‘local’ and will tell you the stories as well as help you discover Flinders Island.
