Wildlife Experience

     Fauna Australia Wildlife Retreat is home to a vast number of amazing Australian Wildlife.  Some like the bandicoots have a gestation of only 12.5 days.  Many are now extinct in Victoria and Mainland Australia. 

     During your stay all guests have the opportunity to meet our Koalas and get up close and personal.  

     When the sun goes down, meet the hidden creatures of the night, like bettongs, bandicoots, possums and owls.  Torches are provided so you can explore at your own leisure.

     Stroll around during the day.  Feed the wombats, wallabies and kangaroos or talk to the parrots. 

     We provide animal feed so you can get up close, but you are also welcome to bring some of your own.  We have provided a list so you can target your favourites. 

     All animals can bite and scratch.  If you choose to interact with the wildlife please remember this.  All children are to be supervised.

Testimonials:

Dear Dean and Kirsten

We stayed at Fauna Australia on Saturday 22 September and really just wanted to write and thank you for a truly fantastic experience. Our children had an absolute ball seeing all the animals, hand feeding them, and 'spotlighting' them at night. The time Dean took to allow us to get up close and hand feed the koalas was just superb. The knowledge he gave us about the koalas was fascinating. This is an experience I have not yet had even having lived in Australia all my life!

My husband Kevin really enjoyed being able to cook the barbecue on Saturday night with the Sugar Gliders and Bandicoots right next to him foraging around. He said it was surreal.

The accommodation itself was perfect for our large family and had everything we could have needed. It was tidy, clean, warm and roomy.

Thank you for a fabulous weekend. It is a rare experience for us to be able to afford to get away for the weekend, but we certainly hope to return to your accommodation someday and will definitely recommend it to all our friends.

Kind regards

Kylie Johnson


Kirsten,

I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail on behalf of myself and the other girls, to thank you and Dean (and the kids) for a fantastic weekend away.

We enjoyed our time immensely, it was such a fun and different experience. It was nice to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and get 'back to nature', literally!

It is definitely an experience that I will remember, that I will encourage others to do and that I look forward to doing again.

Your hospitality was amazing, thank you for your friendliness, even when you had your hands so full with the kids.

Once again thank you so much!

Sincerely

Michelle Thomson (Rebecca McGrath and Amy Ortland)
