Your local retreat. Most Grafton people don't know it's there.
Gumtree Retreat is 35 minutes from Grafton, up the Orara Valley. Close enough for a regular visit, not just a birthday treat. You could do a full day of treatments and be home for dinner.
The property is 40 acres of bush on Orara Way between Grafton and Coffs. No foot traffic, no noise, nothing to look at but trees. If you've been putting off a proper wellness day because it felt like too far a trip, this one's on your doorstep.
Andrew and Michelle have been running the retreat since 2006. Treatments are by appointment, personalised, and unhurried.
