A Hidden Gem in Nature

Review from Kate - local guide - Dec 25th, 2025

Stan told me this place has what we’d call qi in Chinese. It's a feng shui place, the kind of energy you can’t explain, only feel. Even after just one night, I could sense my whole body and mind reset. It felt like something heavy quietly lifted.

I rarely say I truly love a place, but this one is different. It’s not just an experience; it’s the kind of place you start missing before you’ve even left. You want to return whenever life gives you a moment.

Whether it was sharing a fire with my mum at night or sitting in the forest during the day watching birds drift by, it felt like a life I could live for a long, long time. Thank you, Anne and Stan, for pouring so much love into this land and every living thing on it. A special mention for Bill; I absolutely adored his curiosity.

I was worried I wouldn’t sleep, as my mum and I were both first-time tent sleepers. However, we slept surprisingly well. I closed my eyes to the wind sounding like ocean waves, layered with birdsong. It felt deeply quiet and safe. I fell asleep without even noticing.

The bath in the morning, surrounded by forest views, is an absolute must. In that moment, life felt full and complete. Leaving was genuinely hard. I’m already looking forward to coming back.

Unforgettable Experiences Await

Review from Daniel - Dec 17, 2025

On December 17, my wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Mirador Springs Retreat. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a dream.

The Supa Luxe tent was pure luxury wrapped in nature. It was private, peaceful, and beautifully designed. Falling asleep and waking to the sounds of the bush, with frogs, kookaburras, and native birds all around, was incredibly romantic and unforgettable.

The gardens are stunning, and the pool is exceptional. The entire retreat invites you to slow down and truly relax. The eco-friendly luxurious bathhouse, sauna, and cooking facilities were all five-star.

Anne and Stan were a pleasure to meet. They are warm, welcoming hosts who have created something truly special. This is a perfect escape to reconnect, unwind, and indulge in nature-luxury. Highly recommended. 🌿✨❤️

Embrace Nature's Beauty

Review from Darcy - Nov 2025

Perfect location, wonderful owners, and a relaxing seamless experience. Everything is organized and ready. Spending time with the cows and donkeys was cool. The fire pits, pizza ovens, and BBQ are all great for a night by the fire. I would recommend organizing the BBQ box if you’re going to have a barby.

A Whimsical Paradise

Review from Jeldai - Nov 2025

This place is absolute paradise! Better than the pictures. The property itself is beautifully whimsical, with a delightful garden and green rolling hills. Chatting with the animals is an unexpected bonus. The place is perfect for picnicking. The accommodation is gorgeous and completely like the pictures—very private. There’s heaps to do: swim in the pool, take the rowboat out, or soak up the sun on the sun deck.
