RETREAT SNAPSHOT
The BioHax Edit:
No reception. No itinerary. No one asking you to share your feelings in a circle. Just 120 acres of unfiltered nature, wood-fired everything, and the kind of quiet that makes your cortisol weep.
THE EXPERIENCE
This isn’t a retreat with a laminated schedule and chakra charts. It’s a full-system exhale disguised as a farm stay.
Levenvale Farm is a back-to-nature hideout where your daily agenda includes: wake up with the birds, wander through citrus groves, bathe under the stars, and forget what day it is.
Set deep in the Bellingen hinterland, the property features a lovingly restored farmhouse, cedar sauna, fire bath, and just enough luxury to keep your standards intact.
WHO IT'S FOR
BioHax Snapshot:
City-weary humans craving a nervous system reboot. Burnout escapees, book-writing hermits, romantic rewilders, and anyone who needs to feel something other than their inbox.
ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
• The Farmhouse – 4 bedrooms, double clawfoot tubs, fireplace, chef’s kitchen. Basically your dream country estate.
• The Cedar Cabin – Forest views, ensuite, firepit. Built for slow mornings and long exhalations.
• The Bunkhouse – Bigger crews, kids, or just extra space for retreat overflow.
• The Tiny Cabin – Off-grid, one-bed cocoon with a serious view and zero distractions.
WELLNESS INCLUSIONS
• Cedar wood-fired sauna (yes, it's as good as it sounds)
• Outdoor fire bath, because you haven't lived until you've simmered under the stars
• Bush trails, creek swims, hammocks, fruit orchards
• Seasonal produce for DIY detox feasts
• Optional private chef, facilitators or bodyworkers if you want to upgrade your zen
FACILITATOR TEAM
Bring your own guru or tap into their curated network of yoga teachers, breathwork guides, and chefs. They don’t oversell the woo - it’s real, local, and vibe-vetted.
DINING & NUTRITION
Seasonal produce boxes come with every stay, harvested from the gardens or sourced from local organic farms.
No set menus, no one judging your oat milk. Just damn good ingredients and kitchens made for experimenting.
Private chefs available if you’d rather not lift a knife.
