The space
I'm delighted to open my home and retreat space which is well located on the Cabarita canal, offering you the opportunity to connect with nature. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings, gardens and water views, and the gorgeous local laid-back beaches and friendly village only a 10 minute walk from my house. Cabarita has been voted the best beach in Australia and the headland is a stunning spot to watch the sun or moon rise out of the ocean or the sunset over the hinterland.

Welcome to my home and retreat space on the peaceful Cabarita canal - the perfect spot to reconnect with nature. Enjoy tranquil gardens, water views, and the relaxed charm of Cabarita’s award-winning beach and friendly village, just a 10-minute walk away. The headland is magical at sunrise, moonrise, or sunset.

Your private room is cozy and comfortable, with a double bed, built-in wardrobe, and ceiling fan. You’re welcome to enjoy the rest of the home - lounge with water views, outdoor patio with hammocks, BBQ, garden, outdoor shower, and canal access with kayaks (lifejackets provided). The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including fridges, stovetop, oven, and dishwasher. You also have access to the yoga room and props (outside class times).

Feel free to play music, read from our library, or simply unwind in the hammock. With great cafés and restaurants nearby, you’ll have everything you need for a nourishing stay.

As a qualified Exercise Physiologist and holistic health practitioner, I also offer yoga classes, acupuncture, ZenThai Shiatsu massage, and complete health assessments. Bookings available via email through Cabarita Beach Yoga.

Discounted yoga classes available for guests.

Guest access
Guests are welcome to enjoy access to most of the home and outdoor spaces.

🐾 Dogs: We kindly ask that dogs stay out of the main living areas, out of respect for others in the house - thank you!

If I’m away, you’re welcome to use the yoga space and props with care. I understand that sometimes you might just want quiet time to unwind, and other times you might enjoy a chat or a little pampering.
