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.

Mullum Farmers Markets

Every Friday from 7 am - 11 am the Farmers Markets are held at the Mullumbimby Showgrounds rain, hail or shine.
An array of spicy aromas lead our noses through the village of food stalls and local art & crafts.
A fantastic way to experience the community spirit, the atmosphere is light and fun with local buskers setting the vibe.
Keep an eye out for the Pineapple Man rockin' his pineapple shakers! Donation by smiles :)

Mullum Market

Every Friday morning the markets come to life with fresh veggies, music, bread, oysters & so much more. Definitely worth waking up early to grab some supplies and fill your bellies to kickstart your weekend.
The Bloody Mary oyster shots were a winner.

Hot Brews At The Paddock Project

With our sights set on Mullumbimby, we stopped in to visit Joah at The Paddock Project for a hot brew and a wander around the veggie patch. Sipping our coffee under Mount Chincogan, we could already feel the stresses of modern-day society melting away behind us knowing we were settling into a slower pace for the weekend.
