Our story.
Our little slice of paradise
In June 2018, just 8 short months after getting married in beautiful Central Tilba, we packed up our apartment and city lifestyle in the heart of the Sydney CBD, and moved to paradise! Our dogs, Tilly, Tana and little Piper couldn’t be happier living in the countryside where they enjoy runs on the beach, keeping their eye on the goats next door, and of course, welcoming our guests.
We are thrilled to have made the sea/tree change to this unique and special part of the world. We are truly grateful each day to wake up in these surrounds and to be part of a beautiful community.
Since purchasing Tilba Coastal Retreat, we have been working hard to improve our properties infrastructure, and importantly, it’s eco and environmental credentials with thought-out renovations.
All suites have had full makeovers, and our grounds have been cleared, managed and manicured to mitigate bushfire risk whilst enhancing the natural beauty.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands where we work and live, the Djiringanj people of the Yuin nation. We pay respect to Ancestors and Elders, past, present and future.
We can’t wait to welcome you soon to our little slice of paradise.

Fresh Produce
Our small orchard on the property is starting to yield a nice variety of seasonal fruits, (citrus in winter and stone fruits in summer) that our guests are welcome to pick and enjoy at any time during their stay. Saves a trip back to the shops!
