“Soldiers Point delivers a deeply peaceful escape, particularly in its prime position where the sunsets truly live up to the retreat's name. Villas and glamping tents are outfitted with everything one needs for comfort, and the added delight of observing local wildlife, like koalas, adds a special touch to an already serene setting. It's clear why many find themselves planning a return visit.”
