Perfect retreat
Harry and Elle were very responsive to my myriad of questions which ended up resulting in a beautiful, easy, relaxed mid-week retreat for myself and my work mates. We were really comfortable in their beautiful home and would highly recommend a stay at Noonameena.

Brilliant house, perfect location, amazing amenities.
This was the perfect weekend getaway location, well positioned next to the Sherbrooke forrest and walking tracks, but also the property itself surrounded by gardens and tall trees. Very nice feel and the place itself had everything thought out. Great entertaining spaces and facilities along with good communication from the hosts. Definitely a hidden gem. Will be back again :)

About the host

Hosted by Elle Nguyen

Host profile image
Allow me to introduce myself as a simple and humble man who is deeply connected to the wonders of nature and the nurturing presence of my family. The mountains and forests serve as my sanctuary, where I find profound energy and wisdom, gaining a deeper understanding of the world around me. Being a devoted family man, I treasure the moments spent with my loved ones and close friends, cherishing the quality time we share. These connections bring me immeasurable happiness and fulfillment. Mindfulness meditation holds a significant place in my life, as I diligently practice it to cultivate a deep sense of awareness. Through this practice, I have come to realize the interconnectedness of everything on this awe-inspiring planet we call home.

Why they chose this property

I frequently invite my family and friends to my holiday house in Tecoma, where they can relax and find peace. It brings me great joy to care for them during their stay, providing a space for them to release the tensions in their bodies and minds. One of our favorite activities is taking morning walks in the nearby Sherbrooke forest, immersing ourselves in the beauty of nature and enjoying the melodic songs of native birds. We also love to have picnics in the park and explore the surrounding area. In addition to hosting loved ones, I organize meditation retreats at my holiday house. These retreats are designed to help individuals cultivate inner peace and joy, allowing them to generate positive energy within themselves. It is a wonderful opportunity for participants to experience tranquility and contentment. I extend an invitation to those seeking a serene and rejuvenating environment. Located right next to the Sherbrooke forest, my holiday house offers a stunning backdrop for rest and recharge.

What makes this property unique

One of the unique aspects of our property is its convenient location. It is only a 50-minute drive from the city, allowing guests to easily escape to nature. The proximity to Sherbrooke forest provides an opportunity to connect with the natural surroundings and enjoy the beautiful sounds of native birds. In addition to the natural beauty, our location offers a vibrant local scene. Just a 3-minute drive from town, guests can find bars, nice restaurants, and a local supermarket. This allows for a balance of relaxation and indulgence during their stay. Furthermore, our property is only 15 minutes away from popular tourist attractions such as Olinda and Sky High Mount Dandenong. Guests can explore these areas and take in the breathtaking views. For those who enjoy walking, there are several national parks nearby that offer wonderful hiking opportunities. Overall, our property offers the best of both worlds - a convenient location close to amenities and attractions, as well as easy access to nature and tranquility.
