THE VILLAGE MAMA & CHILD RETREAT
27-29th novemberGLASSHOUSE
MOUNTAINS
Welcome to
The Village
The Village was born from a quiet little weekend away with my daughter, Mila-Mae.
We escaped to the beautiful Glass House Mountains with no agenda, nowhere to be, and nothing to do except simply be together.We painted, explored nature, shared slow mornings, laughed until our cheeks hurt, and found joy in the simplest of moments.Somewhere between all of that slowness, I realised something that touched me deeply.I didn't need time away from my daughter.I simply needed space away from the constant demands of everyday life, so I could be fully present with her.It reminded me that the moments our children will remember most aren't the extravagant holidays or perfectly planned adventures. They're the moments where they feel seen, cherished and deeply connected to us.And I wondered...How many other mothers are longing for exactly that?Not an escape from motherhood, but a gentle pause from the busyness of life.A place where everything else can wait.A place where presence replaces pressure, connection comes before perfection, and the most beautiful memories are created in the simplest of moments.That is how The Village came to life.It feels incredibly special to be bringing this dream home to the very place where it first found me.I am so excited to welcome you and your little love to The Village at the beautiful Glass House Eco Lodge.
Meet Chris,
the heart & soul of the Glasshouse Mountains Eco Lodge.
He will be our passionate guide throughout our stay, showing us all the magic that the land has to offer
Is This Retreat For You?
This retreat has been lovingly created for mothers with children aged 8 and under.
These early years are filled with wonder, imagination, curiosity, and the kind of magic that turns simple moments into lifelong memories. Every activity, adventure, and experience throughout the weekend has been thoughtfully designed with this beautiful stage of childhood in mind.
Whether you're longing for uninterrupted quality time with your little one, craving connection with like-minded mums, or simply wanting a weekend where everything is taken care of for you, we'd love to welcome you.
If your child is older than 8, we truly appreciate your understanding. To create the best possible experience for every family, this retreat has been intentionally designed for younger children.
We know many of you have older little loves too, and we're so excited to share that retreats designed specifically for families with older children are already in the works and will be coming soon…. watch this space!
Let’s create some meaningful memories together.
From the moment you arrive, this retreat invites you to slow down, soften, and simply be.You'll be welcomed with a beautiful gift bag before settling into our stunning eco-lodge, surrounded by an abundance of fruit trees, coffee trees, and nature in every direction.
Over two nights, everything is taken care of. Nourishing meals lovingly prepared by our private chef, meaningful moments with your little one, and the space to simply receive.
Together we'll experience a beautiful local hike, taking in the breathtaking beauty of the Glass House Mountains. We'll create, dance, explore, wander through the fairy forest, discover the peaceful billabong, and embrace the simple magic of being outdoors together.
Your little ones will enjoy playful adventures, nature-based activities, and the sweetest surprise as they create something special just for you.
The true magic, however, is found in the moments in between.
Sharing meals with other mothers.Watching your children form new friendships.Laughing.Resting.Feeling seen.Remembering that motherhood was never meant to be done alone.
There is nothing to organise. Nothing to cook. Nothing to clean.
Just time to reconnect with yourself, create beautiful memories with your child, and be fully present.
On our final morning, we'll gather for one last nourishing breakfast before those wanting to continue the adventure can join us for a visit to a local café or enjoy an optional discounted day at Australia Zoo.
This is more than a retreat.
It's a chance to fill your own cup, while watching your child's cup overflow too.

YES THAT’S RIGHT… you don’t need to lift a finger mama!
As mothers, we're so often the ones preparing the meals, packing the snacks, cleaning up the plates, and making sure everyone else is cared for first.
This retreat is your opportunity to experience what it feels like to simply receive.
Throughout your stay, you'll be lovingly nourished by my beautiful private chef, Aja Jade, who has catered all of my luxury retreats over the years. Aja has an incredible gift for creating meals that don't just taste beautiful, but leave you feeling deeply cared for from the inside out.
Using the freshest seasonal, organic produce sourced from local farmers' markets and quality suppliers wherever possible, every meal is thoughtfully prepared to nourish both you and your little one. From wholesome breakfasts to vibrant lunches, nourishing dinners, and delicious snacks in between, everything is taken care of so you don't have to lift a finger.
This is your chance to be nurtured for a change.
Simply sit back, slow down, be present with your child, and allow yourself to receive the care you so generously give to everyone else.
Aja is more than happy to accommodate dietary requirements, allergies, and food intolerances. If you have any specific dietary needs or questions before the retreat, simply reach out via email and we'll be happy to help.
From the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, you'll be spoiled, nourished, and cared for every step of the way.
