Warmth, beauty, and time to breathe — the whole valley, yours alone
A women's retreat made for restoration
Women's Retreat · NSW
Oasis of Hope is a private fourteen-acre retreat in the Upper Orara Valley, built for slowing down. With a wellness centre, gardens that change with the seasons, and exclusive use of the whole estate, it's a place where a group of women can gather, restore, and reconnect — with each other and with themselves.
Warm up, slow down
The wellness centre offers a 38°C outdoor spa facing the valley and a traditional Finnish sauna beneath open sky. Soak at sunrise or under the stars, move between heat and cool valley air at your own pace — no schedules, no classes, just rest.
Gardens and gentle days
Fourteen acres of lawns, blossom trees, and creekside landscapes give the days their rhythm — slow mornings with coffee, walks through the gardens, and quiet corners to read or talk. In spring the jacarandas and cherry blossom turn the estate purple and pink.
A space to come together
The covered Pavilion and homestead living spaces are made for sessions, shared meals, and long evenings of conversation. Twenty-one beds keep the group together, with a pool and firepit for the in-between moments.
