Our vision was to build a two luxury suites inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi - a Japanese concept that finds beauty and serenity in simplicity. This is an adults only retreat. The Driftwood suite (Delux King Room) is dog-friendly. It also has a concrete bath that looks onto a tropical garden. The Tallowwood suite (King Room with Garden View) has carpet on the floor and is not dog-friendly. Is does not have a bath.

There is no bath in this suite. We believe that slow time, bed time, summer time, bath time, dinner time, play time and dream time should become a bigger part of our life time. Hopefully a day or two at Tallowwood House will give you some me time.

Shelly Beach is a quiet, older suburb of Port Macquarie. The beach is a 20 minute walk away. Follow a path through the rainforest then amble along a boardwalk down to the beach. Spectacular coastal walks nearby.
