RETREAT SNAPSHOT
The BioHax Edit:
Chic eco-cottages wrapped in native bushland, just minutes from the white sands of Jervis Bay. Romantic escape or creative off-site? This one doesn’t do ordinary.
THE EXPERIENCE
Part luxe nature stay, part boutique wellness escape. Bay and Bush offers the kind of slow-living setup that lets you exhale. Eight architecturally-designed cottages sit on 27 acres of curated wild, with options to self-cater or go all-in on local partnerships, from private chefs to mobile massages. Think open-air tubs, fire pits, rosé under the gum trees, and a breakfast hamper that actually delivers.
The on-site Apiary serves as a private event and retreat space, perfect for wellness intensives, elopements, team off-sites, and tailored workshops. And yes, there's a working beehive - because nothing says ‘luxury in nature’ like homemade honey and pollinator energy.
Curated experiences range from bushwalks and forest bathing to oyster tastings, grazing feasts, wine & gin pairings, and private yoga or massage on the outdoor deck. Choose from three curated stay packages:
• The Stargazing Package, for cosmic connection and celestial romance
• The Adventure Package, with bike trails, bush immersion, and self-guided beach hikes
• The Relaxation Package, offering in-room massage, private yoga, and slow breakfasts in bed
Whether you’re coming to reset, reconnect, or just recline with a glass of local Shiraz, there’s something here worth staying unplugged for.
