Olinda Woods Retreat - Eco Sanctuary

Grab a book and sprawl out on a chaise sofa beside a wood-burning stove in a living room filled with daylight from ceiling-height glass doors and windows. Spend mornings on the deck patio sipping coffee as birdsong emerges from placid, lush environs.

The cottage utilises non-toxic cleaning methods, with sustainable features including double glazed windows, earth-insulation, septic system, LED lighting, and UV filtered rainwater. Certified organic amenities are also offered for your use, along with a cold-press juicer, blender, yoga mats and meditation stool.

Nature and perfect ambiance
Olinda Woods Retreat was the perfect home to relax, regenerate your mind and soul. Surrounded by nature, vast trees at every window, infiltrating the most peaceful mood. Comfortable throughout the property and a spa bath of luxury. Restaurants and cafes only a few minutes drive and glorious gardens in walking distance. Thank you Emma for everything

Magical little cabin
What a wonderful stay at a magical little cabin. The welcome crate was amazing (we ate it all!!). The potbelly stove was divine and the fire wood plentiful. Just sitting on the couch looking at those beautiful trees amongst the mist was an experience. The wine was beautiful. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our time there. We will be back :)

Absolutely beautiful getaway for couple or small family
This is the most high rating I have ever given out of all get away holiday house. The host is so thoughtful, everything you need is there for you, even soya milk and almond milk. The house is spotless clean, the view is stunning. The organic breakfast box is a surprise for us. Everything in the house is eco friendly and great education for kids and reminder for adults too. We will definitely come back! Thanks Autumn for the efficient and patient replies. Much appreciated for everything you have done for your clients.

Perfect getaway.
Perfect little getaway hidden away in the most beautiful Forrest. Was a beautiful stay, we enjoyed the relaxing sounds of the kookaburra’s during the evening out on the deck. Couldn’t rate this place any higher. A must for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Thank you for the stay 😊
