RETREAT OVERVIEW

Hermitage Estate is a lovely, riverside sanctuary for selective guests. Nestled in the gorgeous, lush hinterland valley of Gleniffer, NSW. Hermitage means 'the dwelling of a hermit; a retreat or escape' - and it is indeed a total and complete escape from the world, with practically zero stress.
Only 9-10 minutes’ drive from Australia's most beautiful town, Bellingen, and 40 minutes drive from Coffs Harbour airport. About one hour helicopter or commercial flight from Sydney or Brisbane, and one and a half hours from Melbourne; Coffs Harbour offers an airstrip for private jet aircraft. Hire a car and drive the beautiful country roads out to Gleniffer.
Luxurious, private surroundings; hire the entire 5-acre (22,000 sq ft) Estate as your secret countryside hideaway. The grounds are lush and gorgeous all year round, on Australia's mild and (mostly) sunny Mid-North Coast.
Soak in the tranquil, peaceful beauty of the Estate, or enjoy some interesting local activities. You can even indulge in some pre-booked spa treatments or massages in nearby Bellingen.
As well as the classic-contemporary, elegant villa, the Estate also offers you a grand piano, and blissful, lush gardens which are meticulously maintained. A special haven of beautiful, peaceful energy, with personalized touches throughout, we are renowned for our serene atmosphere.
Enjoy high-quality brand tableware, fresh local certified organic produce, and the crystal-clear, pristine river for swimming, waterside yoga, & deep meditation. The aroma-light therapy outdoor spa is surrounded by beautifully scented Magnolia trees and overlooks the pond, gazebo, and mountain views. A feast for the senses, you're surrounded by high-quality and resplendent nature year-round.
