Hermes Estate is a newly opened ultra-luxurious riverside retreat nestled in the magical hinterlands of the sunny mid North Coast. The beautiful retreat offers two branches of accommodation; the luxury wellness retreat and the luxury vacation retreat.

The lavish estate comes complete with a full-time private butler, on-site chef and a nutritional therapist to oversee your wellness experience. Guests of the wellness retreat are served a perfectly balanced plant-focused menu designed to support them through lifestyle and wellness changes; vacation guests, on the other hand, may request any type of cuisine that takes their fancy.

Chef Loic is a French native who specialises in bespoke menus crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients with minimal human intervention. Most of the produce, including micro herbs and edible flowers come from Hermes Estate’s own organic gardens, with ingredients harvested “no more than 15-60 minutes prior to arriving on your plate,” according to the owner.

Their wellness program is designed to help guests to reverse heart disease, diabetes and a host of other modern illnesses caused by nutritional deficiencies and an imbalanced intake of toxic ingredients.

Just a few of the little details on offer for vacation guests include: a grand piano, antique library, pillow menu, extensive wine cellar, premium liqueurs, and the fine champagnes.

Hermes Estate’s full 22,000 square foot property is only available to hire in its entirety: meaning any guest is the only guest. The ultimate VIP experience means you are the sole focus for their support staff. The retreat is designed as a safe sanctuary, an escape from the world where you can find your very own definition of la dolce vita.

Hermes Estate is available for three nights minimum at $5,000 per night.
