About this property

The Retreat 2 bed Villa, Sanctuary in the Pocket

The Retreat is a beautifully decorated modern 2 bedroom cottage, situated in a 5 acre tropical and exotic botanical garden with a tranquil creek.

The 12 metre outdoor pool is for the exclusive use of guests staying in The Retreat. It has a beautifully landscaped deck and Balinese gazebo, along with day beds and water gardens. The Retreat is surrounded by covered decks as well.

A romantic getaway for couples seeking peace and serenity while in close proximity to the cafes and restaurants of Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby, and the spectacular beaches of New Brighton and South Golden.

Wander through the gardens, picnic on the lawn, sit by the creek and dip your toes, or hang out in the hammock.

Everything you need within the cottage is provided, Nespresso coffee machine, Samsung HD Smart TV, access to stream movies, Netflix, TV and music, and a log fire to curl up in front of for those snug winter nights.

Air conditioning is provided through out.

A gorgeous sound system to enjoy all day long and a huge deck to kick back on.

Cook up a storm in the fully appointed kitchen or use the BBQ , utilising the beautiful local produce for those lazy afternoons and evening barbies by the pool.

At the end of the day, sink into the luxurious king-sized pillow top bed, with crisp Egyptian cotton sheets, and mozzie net canopy

All linen and towels are provided and as well as basic kitchen and bathroom essentials.

Situated only 30 minutes from Ballina or the Gold Coast airports, we are ideally situated for that well-deserved short weekend getaway or long break.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Galea

Host profile image
London Born, I've lived in Middle East & Africa before moving to Australia as a teenager. My husband Mike is also from the UK but more of a country mouse than me with green fingers that supply me with an abundance of fresh produce to play with. We have been married for almost 25 years and both have a love of nature, a strong sense of adventure and approach life with a sense of play and curiosity. I currently consult as a creative alchemist working from an intersection of design and behavioural science to active positive change for business ecosystems,

Our children have left the nest and we are now excited to move forward into the next phase of our journey and create a space in the Byron Hinterland that activates your senses and is full of both creativity and love.

Why they chose this property

The whole area is beautiful, however, we found that this valley, The Pocket offered the best of both worlds. Easy access to a buzzing lifestyle with great shops, art, beaches & access to airports plus our own tropical private oasis lifestyle.
It is beautifully peaceful, in a lovely rural valley with cattle and horses, but is very close to the beautiful Ocean beaches of New Brighton and South Golden (10 Minutes) and the lovely townships of Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads (10 Minutes). Byron Bay is only 20 minutes away and the Gold Coast airport 25 minutes away.
Wonderfully centrally located, whilst also being incredibly quiet and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

We both fell in love with this property from the moment we came through the front gates, feeling welcome as we opened Bali Doors and explored hand made Bali style villas that had been built with love and care so many thoughtful touches had gone into their design. The gardens won us over as we could feel nature was recharging us from our first visit. 5 acres of beautifully mature rainforest garden, with an amazing variety of huge trees, fresh fruit and exotic plants. To cap it all off there is a beautiful creek that runs through one side of the property. Sitting quietly in the garden is an absolute pleasure, listening to the sounds of the water flowing and birds singing.
