About this property

Wellbeing Courtyard Beachside Retreat

Welcome to a peaceful, rustic wellbeing retreat nestled just moments from the beach, designed for rest, reflection, and reconnection. This spacious retreat looks out over a private courtyard garden, creating a calm, grounding atmosphere that invites you to slow down and truly unwind.

The retreat opens onto the courtyard, where guests have exclusive use of the entire back garden space. There are multiple seating areas thoughtfully placed throughout the garden, offering different outlooks to sit, read, journal, meditate, or simply enjoy the stillness.

If you would like to enjoy the soothing sound of the water feature during your stay, just let Trish know and she will happily switch it on for you. She will need though to come out and maintain the pond as it needs topping up with water every now and then, so she will need to have interaction with you and be around at home.

This space is ideal for solo travelers or couples seeking peace, privacy, and a more soulful stay rather than modern hotel-style accommodation. The space offers a retreat-style stay with natural timber features and a calm, earthy feel, designed for rest, reflection and time in nature.

It has a really comfortable queen sized bed, lived-in feel and reflects a rustic, character-filled aesthetic rather than luxury finishes. It is clean, well cared for, and intentionally simple, allowing guests to feel at ease and at home.

The retreat includes a private bathroom located approximately 8 steps from your room, fully undercover and under the same roof. While separate from the retreat and bedroom, it is for your exclusive use and is clearly reflected in the pricing. This setup suits guests who appreciate value, space, and tranquility over motel-style layouts.

The retreat includes a simple, well-equipped kitchenette suited to light meals and relaxed stays. It features a Russell Hobbs benchtop oven with two hot plates, a microwave, bar fridge, pod coffee machine, kettle, and a selection of crockery, cutlery, plates, and cups. And your usual condiments + teas.

Please note the kitchenette sink has cold water only. Hot water can be easily accessed using the kettle as needed if you need to wash dishes.

There is a cosy indoor dining space for two, perfect for breakfast or a quiet meal, as well as an outdoor table and chairs just outside the room in the courtyard, ideal for enjoying meals or a morning coffee in the fresh coastal air.

There is also a seperate single bedroom space available from the retreat for any extra guest or family member that wishes to stay as well, or there is also a trundle bed that Trish can also set up in the room if required. The single room is situated also out in the courtyard space from the retreat room, so you will all enjoy the whole backyard space together. To arrange contact Trish when you book to find out the extra booking cost for room + cleaning fees.

The location blends peaceful retreat living with exceptional convenience. The Esplanade and beach are just a short 3 minute walk away, perfect for swimming, beach walks, or simply enjoying the coastal air.

Popular surfing beaches are close by, as well as trendy cafés, local eateries, wine shops, and essential amenities, again only 3 minute walk away.

The Southern Vales wine region and Willunga Farmers Market are only a short 10 - 15 minute drive away, and Adelaide city is approximately 35–40 minutes by car.

This retreat is perfect for those wanting a quiet coastal escape, a place to pause between adventures, or a nourishing reset away from the busyness of everyday life. Guests are welcome to enjoy as much privacy as they wish, with Trish available as a warm, caring host whenever needed.

This is not a luxury hotel stay. It is a calm, grounding sanctuary created with intention, offering space, nature, and genuine hospitality in a beautiful coastal setting.

As a holistic practitioner with over 20 years’ experience, Trish offers guests the unique option to enhance their stay with optional wellbeing treatments. These include Reiki massage, Reiki healing, sound healing, and meditation sessions, all designed to support deep relaxation and balance. These offerings are entirely optional, allowing guests to create a stay that feels right for them. See prices at bottom.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Blythman

Host profile image
I grew up locally on a vineyard in McLaren Flat, which is now home to the beautiful Dog Ridge Cellar Door. Being surrounded by nature from a young age has stayed with me—I absolutely love spending time outdoors and enjoy doing farm-sitting around the region whenever I can.

For the past 20 years, I’ve run my own small wellness business offering Sound Healing, Reiki Massage, and spiritual and self-development programs. I also host monthly sound events here at my home, which are deeply relaxing and open to guests during their stay.

If you're looking to truly unwind, you’re welcome to book in for one of my holistic therapies while you're here—it's a wonderful way to restore balance and harmony before heading back out into the world.

I love the peaceful ambience of my outdoor space, and I take great joy in sharing it with others. It’s a tranquil place to relax, reconnect, and explore the beauty of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula.

Why they chose this property

I’ve lived in this home for over 25 years and have called the southern suburbs of Adelaide home my whole life. This area is truly a hidden gem—peaceful, welcoming, and incredibly beautiful. We’re lucky to be surrounded by stunning beaches, breathtaking coastal walks, and the world-renowned Southern Vales wine region, all just a short drive away.

One of the things I love most is having some of Adelaide’s best surfing beaches practically at my back door. Whether you’re into a sunrise swim, a surf, or a relaxing beach walk, it’s all just minutes away.

The retreat room overlooks a serene courtyard garden, where you can unwind on the outdoor lounge, read a book, or simply enjoy the calming sounds of the water feature. It’s the perfect spot to relax and recharge.

What I enjoy most about this area is the laid-back lifestyle and the connection to nature. Whether it’s a morning beach walk, an afternoon exploring local wineries, or just soaking up the garden’s ambience, there’s always something here to calm the mind and nourish the spirit.

We’re also close to everything—from wineries, coastal trails, cafes and shops to public transport and major shopping centres—it’s all conveniently nearby. This region is truly special—offering a peaceful, coastal lifestyle while still being within easy reach of the city.

I love the mix of natural beauty and modern comforts here. There’s always something to enjoy, whether it’s a peaceful moment in the garden or a day out exploring the Fleurieu Peninsula.

What makes this property unique

What makes my property truly stand out is its rustic charm, and the peaceful ambient energy and intention woven into every part of the space. This is more than just accommodation—it's a peaceful sanctuary created for rest, healing, and reconnection.

Guests have exclusive access to the tranquil courtyard garden space, with thoughtfully placed seating areas create a serene backdrop for relaxation. Whether you're journaling with your morning cuppa, meditating in the garden, or enjoying an afternoon nap on the daybed, every corner invites you to slow down and breathe. Offering a different view of the garden—perfect for reading, reflecting, or simply soaking up the stillness to sit and unwind.

I offer a holistic experience, not just a place to stay. As a holistic healer with over 20 years of experience, I offer guests the unique option to add Reiki massages, Meditation, Sound Healing treatments, or other relaxing treatments during their visit, or simply take time to reconnect with themselves in a nurturing, calming space.

These healing offerings are completely optional but available for those who want to deepen their retreat experience and return home feeling nourished in body, mind, and spirit.

Located just a 4-minute walk to the Esplanade and beach, to trendy cafés, local shops, and wineries, the retreat blends the best of coastal living with spiritual wellbeing. You’re also just a short drive from the Southern Vales wine region, Willunga Farmers Market, and only 35–40 minutes from Adelaide city.

It’s perfect for solo travellers, couples, or anyone seeking a quiet weekend away with the option of soul-nurturing treatments and genuine hospitality. You can choose to interact with me as your host or just enjoy your own time to unwind. I’ve created this space to feel intimate, grounding, and welcoming—and I’m always here to ensure your stay is restful and memorable.
