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.

Serene and beautiful getaway

My partner and I stayed here for a few nights after our wedding, and it was the perfect little getaway tucked away in the serene nature in the Pocket. It really was like a little Sanctuary. Beautiful four poster bed and bath! It has everything you need to relax and make yourself at home. The pool and the cabana is gorgeous and would be great to cool off in summer. Love this place and would highly recommend!

Most beautiful and peaceful stay!

Jonathan & Susie It is so upsetting that we had to leave this early due to the drive back home. We have left this beautiful place filled with amazing memories all thanks to you beautiful people! Unfortunately due to COVID we were restricted on going to Bali with a private pool for our honeymoon. When I came across this place it was a straight book in and let me tell you no regrets whatsoever. My husband and I were extremely happy with the place as it was not only peaceful and quiet but as well as your service! You both managed to keep us updated and would tell us when tasks were getting done Thank you so much once again and surely surely you will see us again! All the best for your future! Hopefully many more happy days to come for the both of you! 😊

Relaxing Family time in The Pocket

Our kids loved being so close to nature, loved the pool and they loved the wonderful garden. They cannot wait to go back. There are loads of lovely touches at the house, the cabana by the pool allows you to relax while watching the kids. The gardens are stunning and you get to enjoy the wonderful sounds of birds and beautiful trees. It is a short drive to an excellent surf beach. It is very quiet in the evenings. There are great food options in Brunswick and Mullumbimby (Milk and Honey was as good a pizza as we have tried and Baker and Daughter is a superb bakery). Punch and Daisy has great coffee. The house comes with aircon which was needed in Jan.

Beautiful Property

My wife and I enjoyed a short stay at the property with our two children. The property was spotlessly clean and had everything we required to have a relaxing stay. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wanted a break away from the stresses of everyday life.
