Shinrinyoku Retreat: Beachfront+Cedarwood Hot Tub

Forest-bathe and reconnect with serenity on the spectacular Sunshine Coast. Nestled on a hill overlooking Sargeant Bay with private access to the beach, surrounded by trees without neighbors in sight - we invite guests to immerse in Shinrin-yoku, the exercise of forest-bathing and experiencing greenery through your senses. Sargeant Bay is renowned in birdwatching - spot flocks of snow geese, sparrows, warblers, and other species of migratory birds in this coastal oasis. The space Featuring a modern Scandinavian design, our home is laid out spaciously on three levels for families or friends to spread out, or enjoy cozying up together in the lounging spaces indoors or outdoors. Stepping through the front door, you will enter the main floor and find a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook your favourite meals, plus a breakfast nook and window seat looking out to the Bay; a large open concept space combining the dining and living room, along with the walk-out patio deck and sweeping oceanviews; and lastly, a spa-inspired bathroom with an oversized shower. The entire upper floor is an open, luxurious loft with a sleeping area, a dedicated workspace, an intimate lounging area, and a small outdoor deck for drinks, reading or sunset yoga with more gorgeous Bay views. Perfectly designed with families in mind, there is a King-sized bed, two (2) Twin-sized beds, and a sofa bed futon-style. While the loft offers private quarters and blackout curtains entice sleeping in on lazy mornings, being without a door means those sleeping up there can hear others who might be up early, or up late hanging out. A private primary bedroom awaits on the lower floor of the home, where Guests will find a King-sized bed and a full ensuite with a bathtub. The laundry complete with washer and dryer is available for Guests' use, next to additional game and arcade space that would make time spent indoors just as enjoyable. Step out to the patio deck of your choice with your morning coffee, bbq lunch or glass of wine in hand, all the while indulging in the refreshing ocean air, breathtaking views and wildlife spotting. *NEW* Fall 2023 - experience Shrinyin-yoku in a private *wood-fired* cedar hot tub.
