Luxury Features

RETREAT OVERVIEW

  • Hermitage Estate is a lovely, riverside sanctuary for selective guests. Nestled in the gorgeous, lush hinterland valley of Gleniffer. Hermitage means 'the dwelling of a hermit; a retreat or escape' - a total and complete escape from the world.
  • 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 jet flight from Sydney or Brisbane, and one and a half hours from Melbourne; Coffs Harbour offers an airstrip for private aircraft.
  • 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, yoga & 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.
  • Be awed by the immense beauty of the lovely area, while immersed in comfort. The villa maintains a balance between elegance and relaxed comfort, and has been commented on as “more beautiful than some of the top hotel suites in the world”. Another flattering comment was, “being in the villa feels like being wrapped in a cashmere cocoon.”
  • Create memories that will last a lifetime: Ideas include a relaxing vacation, private elopement wedding destination, romantic honeymoon nest, a detox treatment and wellness stay, VIP hibernation escape, an artist's inspirational stay, an anniversary celebration, or simply an Australian experience with local activities for the international or interstate visitor.

My family came here for a quiet and relaxed weekend away and that's exactly what we got. The phrase 'I feel so relaxed right now' was said multiple times by each family member. Gace, our host, was super responsive and lovely to talk to. Very happy with our stay and will definitely consider coming back here again.

In the past I haven't been someone who would leave a review but when you have such an amazing experience, like I just had at Hermitage Estate, it would be wrong of me to not put something in writing so that hopefully others can experience what I just did.I was looking for a relaxing escape from the day to day grind and Hermitage Estate blew away my expectations. From the moment you arrive it feels like your own little sanctuary where you can hide away in luxury and just be at peace with the beautiful surroundings. The rooms are spacious but also provide a warm, cosy and welcoming feel that makes you feel at home and makes it incredibly hard to leave.The grounds are immaculate, beautiful to walk around or to just sit, relax and enjoy the scenic views. I highly recommended Hermitage Estate for anyone looking for a luxurious, peaceful and relaxing escape, whether you are going solo like I did or a couple looking for the perfect place to spend time together and connect.

We had the most beautiful stay at this amazing property. Maybe better than five star hotels. The description it’s true, it does feel very like being wrapped in the cashmere cocoon! Everything immaculate. As Europeans we very much enjoyed the European feeling of this villa. It is very beautiful and luxury, but also super comfortable and relaxing. With a very open, free feeling. You feel like a king. We arrived at almost dark. The first entry is impressive with beautiful gates, and the garden lights are pretty. The furniture, chandeliers and huge gold mirrors are stunning, and everything is very thought about for the guest. We felt very special, and the flowers and nice letter from the manager was really sweet and kind. My wife was so happy there!! It was hot weather but the temperature climate control in the villa is excellent. The gardens are very beautiful and tranquil, also the views were so peaceful. Lucky to those who live in this magic location.Plus a lot of free gourme
