YOU SHOULD EXPECT
TIME TO UNWIND
Our retreat spaces are surrounded by nature and full of little hidden nooks, sun-drenched corners, and quiet spots perfect for reading, journaling, or simply doing nothing at all. Whether you’re curled up with a book or gazing out at a beautiful backdrop, this is your space to rest, reflect, and just be.
FEMALE CONNECTION
Our last retreat was a beautiful reminder of what happens when women come together with openness and intention. Strangers became friends, conversations flowed with ease, and the shared space felt like a soft landing - full of warmth, laughter, and mutual care. It was more than just a weekend away; it was a community in the making.
DELICIOUS FOOD
Nourishing, seasonal, and seriously tasty - our retreats are fueled by delicious meals, sweet treats, and plenty of refreshments. From long lunches to cosy morning coffees and snacks in between, everything is curated with care to keep you feeling full, happy, and looked after all weekend long.
Fun activities
Want a little more movement, mindfulness, or creativity? Across the weekend, you'll have the option to enjoy gentle yoga, guided meditation, bushwalks, a sauna, hot tub, or a dip in the infinity pool. For those feeling inspired, there’s also the chance to join a painting session with local artist Phoebe Bakker, as shown in image >
Painting class with Phoebe will be optional and at own cost, please look out for more information after booking your ticket
Comfy Rooms
Stay cosy in our comfortable twin-share rooms - perfect for coming with a friend or meeting your next book bestie. Private rooms are also available if you'd like a little extra solitude between the stories and connection. Whatever your choice, comfort and calm are always part of the retreat.
Every room includes its own bathroom or en-suite, ensuring comfort and convenience for all guests.
Author Chat
Each retreat features a special author in conversation - an intimate chat where we dive into the writing process, the stories behind the stories, and everything in between. It’s a chance to connect with the people who bring the books we love to life.
Author announcement coming soon!
