Under the Stars and By the Fire, Your Winter Escape Awaits!

Do you ever feel like life is moving too fast… like your soul is gasping for stillness, beauty, and fresh air?

You’re not alone.

And more importantly, you’re not far away from peace.

Let me take you on a little journey into the heart of Tasmania — to our beloved Purple House Forest Estate — where nature, healing, and a sense of wonder meet in the most unforgettable way.

This winter, we invite you to switch off the noise and switch on your senses with a stay in one of our two deeply nurturing escapes:

1. Sunny Retreat – Pure Forest Bliss

Tucked into a lush pocket of gardens, forest, and wild river magic, Sunny Retreat is the perfect mix of luxury, charm, and deep rest.

Wake slowly to morning light filtering through the trees.

Wander barefoot to the deck with your tea, where the dam reflects the sky and the air is thick with birdsong.

You might see a platypus gliding by or Cedric and Clover, our friendly donkey and cow duo, grazing peacefully in the distance.

What guests love:

• Private forest views and luxury amenities
• A fully self-contained stay surrounded by 9 acres of gardens, mazes, and bushland
• Cozy winter evenings around your fire pit, wrapped in a blanket under a sky full of stars
• The opportunity to add on a forest sauna experience — a soul-deep heat in our wood-fired sauna, nestled amongst the trees
• Healing sessions at the Purple House Natural Therapies, just a short walk away
• Access to our Purple House Kitchen café, where you can enjoy nourishing meals made from local, organic produce that supports healing from the inside out

Guests leave with full hearts, clearer minds, and glowing reviews like this:

“This place is a slice of heaven. We arrived frazzled and left feeling deeply reset. Every detail was thoughtful, every corner was beautiful.”

2. Platypus Pond – Vintage Charm Meets Outdoor Bathing

If you’ve ever dreamed of a vintage hideaway with character, comfort, and a bathtub under the stars, Platypus Pond is calling your name.

This lovingly renovated 1970s caravan is perched on a private part of the estate, overlooking the dam where platypuses play daily, surrounded by lush forest and gentle animal energy.

Inside, you’ll find all the modern amenities for a comfortable stay.

But the magic begins outside — where your own wood-fired bathtub awaits beneath the Southern sky.

Highlights of Platypus Pond:

• Private deck with sweeping views of the dam
• Outdoor wood-fired bathtub for dreamy soaks under the stars
• Visits from our friendly wildlife, ducks, and Cedric the donkey
• Easy access to our forest trails, mazes, and labyrinths
• The opportunity to dine at the PH Kitchen café, enjoy a deep energy reset with a healing session, or simply curl up with a book and watch the world slow down

You won’t want to leave.

Many guests rebook before they even check out.

“That outdoor bath! I’ve never felt so held by nature. Thank you for creating this sanctuary.”

Sauna in the Forest

Bookable as a $50 add-on, our wood-fired sauna is a highlight for guests looking to deeply unwind, sweat out stress, and reset their nervous system.

Surrounded by tall trees, mossy stones, and birdsong, it’s a powerful ritual for:

• Improving circulation
• Boosting immunity
• Melting away mental fog
• Supporting detoxification
• Returning to your body

Pair it with a plunge in the cold dam for the ultimate Wim Hof moment.

Or just sit, breathe, and be.

Labyrinths, Mazes, and Magic Walks

Wander through our living labyrinth or forest mazes designed to help you reconnect with yourself.

These sacred spaces are:

• Perfect for meditation, walking intentions, or simply grounding barefoot
• A hit with kids, couples, and creatives who want to move energy and play
• Lush with ferns, trees, and birds that feel like they’re part of another realm

Many guests say the land itself is healing.

It’s no surprise — this estate is the result of 25 years of love, growth, and transformation.

Meet Our Animal Family

You’ll likely bump into:

• Cedric, our philosophical donkey
• Clover, our gentle cow
• Quacking ducks, curious native hens, and maybe even a platypus or two at dusk
• Frogs, dragonflies, and butterflies galore

The energy of the land is soft, welcoming, and alive.

Children and adults alike feel it instantly.
