Mt Jukes Eco Retreat

Bright days, Stormy skies, Still magic.

The rock glows. The waterfalls run.

This is Mt Jukes Eco Retreat.

The creek can whisper…

And it can roar.

290mm in 24 hours.

Rain or shine, this place carries its own kind of magic.

Fully booked this past Weekend Escape & Day Retreat.

Ages 25 to 79.
Couples and solo travellers.

It was powerful to see so many men showing up with their partners — not out of obligation, but by choice.

Stepping away from routine.
Choosing presence.
Choosing time together.

Next retreat dates are now open. https://mtjukesecoretreat.com.au/weekend-escape/

Or just come and stay in nature

Valentine’s Day can be about connection in many forms.

Some people come on their own.
Some come with a partner or a friend.

Our Retreat Days aren’t about labels — they’re about presence.

A day to step out of routine, slow your breath, move gently, sit quietly, and reconnect — with yourself, with nature, and with others in a simple, unforced way.

There’s space to be social, and space to be quiet.
Nothing to fix. Nothing to perform.

Just time — held in nature.

🥑 First avocados — at last.

We’ve planted many avocado trees here over the years.
Some didn’t survive. Some never fruited.

One of our three trees has finally come good, with around 20 avocados on it.

A reminder that some things take time.
And when they arrive, they’re worth it. 🌿

This Valentine’s Day weekend is about stepping away together.

Join us for a Valentine’s Weekend Escape, and the Supreme Lodge is the only accommodation available.

Private.
Spacious.
Surrounded by nature.

It’s a chance to slow right down, share unhurried time, and reconnect away from distractions—no schedules to keep, nowhere else to be.

If you’ve been meaning to gift yourselves time together, this is one of those weekends that tends to linger long after it’s over 💛

Nature is doing the work

Tree scent:
Lowers stress and supports the immune system

Colour green:
Calms the nervous system and reduces blood pressure

Natural patterns:
Found in leaves, easing mental fatigue

Birdsong:
Restores focus and settles the mind

Fresh forest air:
Clean, oxygen-rich air for deeper breathing

Natural spring:
Cool, clear water to swim, reset, and feel fully alive

At Mt Jukes Eco Retreat, nature isn’t something you visit —
it’s something you feel.

Slow days. Quiet nights.
Nature doing the work.

The creek today.

Soft, steady, and at ease.

Nature reminds us that everything has its own rhythm 🦋

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you 🙏
This year has been a special one at Mt Jukes Eco Retreat, marked by meaningful recognition and, most importantly, the support of our guests and community.

Thank you for choosing to stay, to retreat, to slow down, and to connect with this land. Your presence and care continue to shape Mt Jukes in beautiful ways.

Looking ahead to 2026, our focus turns even more toward the land — regeneration, growing food, and creating space to breathe, reconnect, and slow down.

With gratitude,
Dave & Aune 🌿
