TIME TO UNWIND

Our retreat spaces are surrounded by nature and full of little hidden nooks, cosy 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 a cold plunge. We will have the fireplaces and firepit burning throughout the retreat!!

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. Solo guests sharing a room will be allocated a room with separate bathroom for some extra privacy

FAQs

Do I need to come with a friend?
Not at all! Majority of our guests come solo - and leave with new book besties. We create a warm, inclusive space where connection happens naturally.
Do I have to attend every activity?
Nope! Everything is optional. You can join every session or sneak off with your book to a sunny nook - this is your weekend.
What kind of books will we read?
We will be sending you the weekend bookclub book, but there’s no pressure to finish it before you come. There’ll be plenty of chat about other books too.
I have dietary requirements - can you cater to them?
Absolutely. Just let us know when via email so that we can accommodate you.
What if I’m not a “big reader”?
You don’t need to be a bookworm with a Goodreads goal. If you love stories, good conversation, and downtime in beautiful places - you’ll fit right in.
What should I bring?
We’ll send a full packing list before the retreat, but think: comfy clothes, your current read, swimmers, and an open mind.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes! When processing your payment through Stripe you can select Klarna to pay in instalments.
