Dales Run is definitely not your run of the mill when it comes to accommodation. This is the epitome of a unique stay; a consciously curated slow stay on the South Coast of NSW. You get the best of both worlds here - expansive ocean views to the east and rural rolling hills to the west. Whether an avid adventurer or desiring some downtime, Dales Run is a retreat space to relax and reconnect.

Wellness is a core value here and that comes in many shapes and sizes - be it some yoga on the deck, a warming wine by the fireplace or an outdoor bath under the stars. Trust me when I say there have been no expenses nor ideas spared here - fresh sourdough, butter and milk from the diary upon arrival, beautiful Australian made ceramics by Robert Gordon, a desk dedicated to painting and watercolour to get creative, a wellness room with an infrared sauna, day bed, yoga mats and crystals, a bath indoor and outdoor, a fire indoor and outdoor, soft linen in bedding and living areas… seriously the list goes on.

We explored outwards in the morning to Carrington Falls and Nellie’s Glen for a hike and swim in nature, by the afternoon we retreated inwards and indulged in an infrared sauna and some breath work and enjoyed the sunset views while stoking the fire outside. My favourite thing about Dales Run? It was so peaceful - only birds and the breeze to be heard outside.
