The Church Retreat

About The Church Retreat

The Church Retreat is located in the NSW Riverina area about 30 minutes from Wagga Wagga. It was built in the 1960's and was used as a Lutheran church until 2006.

The Church has been converted into holiday accommodation with a modern, relaxed atmosphere with everything you need for a fun, laid back weekend away.

Bring all you need for your stay and you'll be quite happy to not leave the property, enjoying time with family and friends. Alternatively, explore all that the Riverina has to offer!

The Old School - attached to the Church - was built in the early 1900's and retains its original charm and is now a games room. Enjoy a game of pool or darts while indulging in a few drinks. There are also plenty of games for kids to keep entertained.

As the sun sets, build a fire in the outdoors firepit - built into the deck - pour a glass of local wine and enjoy the serene country atmosphere.

$200 per night, plus $10 per person cleaning fee.
