A Quiet Revival on the Far South Coast
A Quiet Revival on the Far South Coast
Sunlight filters through ancient gums. A long deck stretches out over the Towamba Valley. Each safari tent is a pocket of reverence carved into the wild.
Currajong Retreat is anchored in the art of slowing down, offering a retreat re-made around salt-tinged air, misty dawns, and regenerative country life.
The river runs slow and time runs slower.
It's kidding season—when new life arrives in soft, silent leaps. Angelic Angora goat kids tumble from wobbly legs and bound with discovery. Their playful innocence infuses every paddock, every gathering. Guests arrive with curiosity; they leave with wonder.
This is a sensory anchor. The season lifts the stay from luxury accommodation to life-felt experience. You wake to the sound of gentle bleating. You watch tiny hooves navigate morning dew. You witness the tender care of mothers and the boundless joy of new beginnings.

“There is nothing cuter than watching kids jump and play as they explore their new world.”

Life Begins at Kidding Season
It's kidding season, when new life arrives in soft, silent leaps. Angelic Angora goat kids tumble from wobbly legs and bound with discovery. Their playful innocence infuses every paddock, every gathering. Guests arrive with curiosity; they leave with wonder.
This is a sensory anchor. The season lifts the stay from luxury accommodation to life-felt experience. You wake to the sound of gentle bleating. You watch tiny hooves navigate morning dew. You witness the tender care of mothers and the boundless joy of new beginnings.
The kids don't perform for guests, they simply exist in their wild joy while you happen to be there.
The Story of Land, Love, and Stewardship
Lara, Grant and Jenny's journey echoes the rhythms of this place. They left city life for mudbrick beginnings, goat paddocks, and solar-lit nights. Jenny swapped preschool chaos for labours of love with their growing herd. Together, they built Currajong Common and Currajong Retreat, tending land, architecture, and heart in the same breath.
Each season adds new layers to their story: riverbank gardens, regenerative grazing, the homestead revival, and the tented enclave that softly floats above valley slopes.
A Retreat That Honours the Senses
Perched above the Towamba, each tent is poetry of intention: queen bed, waterfall shower, kitchenette, and signature outdoor bath on a private deck, warmed by sunrise and cooled by night stars.
Off-grid luxury that blends wild solitude with comfort. Swimming holes replace schedules. The only thing on your to-do list is a warm bath with a valley view.
Country-style dinners arrive at your door, menus crafted to honour dietary needs and local abundance. The tents are spacious, the food is local, the nights wrapped in silence, broken only by wind through gums and a cork popping on the deck.
This is disconnect in order to reconnect. Each tent offers private sanctuary amidst the bush, space to breathe whilst remaining gently connected to place. Just the sound of the river, birdsong, distant goat chatter.

Why This Matters Now
In a world that demands constant motion, Currajong offers radical stillness. Where others chase experiences, this place lets experience find you. A goat kid bounds across your path. Mist rises from the valley. Stars appear without announcement.
Slow luxury: elevated comfort without disregard for quiet or authenticity.
Nature-first living: each moment shaped by goats, mist, campfire, starlight.
Intention in every detail: lighting, food, farm experiences, hand-curated.
Emotional simplicity: a place that works on you quietly, weeks after you've left.
This is what happens when founders don't just build a business, they tend a place. When the work is generational, the care runs deeper.
Stay Wild, Stay Still
This is kidding season at Currajong. A chapter of new life is unfolding. You could be part of it, watching wobbly legs find their footing, witnessing the tender chaos of mothers and young, feeling the deep contentment that comes from bearing witness to something pure.
