Stay in the Billabong Cabin on 40 acres of quiet bush — 45 minutes from Coffs Harbour, 35 minutes from Grafton. Combine with a full spa day or come just to be somewhere still.
The Billabong Cabin sits among the gumtrees on the Gumtree Retreat property — 40 acres of Orara Valley bush with no neighbours visible, no foot traffic, and nothing to do but rest.
Overnight stays include supper and a breakfast hamper. It's designed as a proper retreat — somewhere to arrive, slow down, and leave feeling like yourself again.
Most guests combine an overnight stay with a full spa day. Arrive in the morning for treatments, stay the night, and drive home after breakfast. Andrew and Michelle have been running the retreat since 2006 and take their time with every guest.
