Tranquil Hinterland Escape with Sauna

Originally from Shanghai, China, I've been fortunate to call Australia home for many years. I love spending time in the garden, heading to the beach, and getting lost in a great audiobook.

I enjoy hosting because travel has been such an important part of my life. During my younger years, I explored many places, experienced different cultures, and discovered incredible food along the way. The stays I remember most weren't just about the destination—they were about the genuine hospitality and thoughtful touches that made me feel welcome.

My hope is to create that same feeling for every guest. This beautiful property is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create memories you'll take home long after your stay.

After years of living in the city, I found myself longing for more space, more nature, and a slower pace of life. The first time I visited this beautiful valley, I knew there was something special about it.

Nestled between lush rainforest and rolling hills, yet only minutes from the beaches, cafés and the Gold Coast Airport, it truly offers the best of both worlds. You can spend the morning exploring the hinterland, the afternoon by the ocean, and return to the peaceful sounds of nature in the evening.

When I discovered this property, I immediately fell in love with its sense of tranquillity and timeless charm. It felt like a hidden sanctuary—one that was simply too beautiful not to share.

My hope is that during your stay you'll experience the same feeling I did: a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, reconnect with nature, and leave feeling refreshed.

Olive & Stone Estate is a place where you can truly slow down and reconnect with nature. Set on peaceful acreage in the beautiful Piggabeen Valley, you'll wake to birdsong, enjoy expansive views across the gardens and surrounding hills, and experience a sense of calm that's increasingly hard to find.

What makes this property special is its unique blend of privacy and convenience. Although it feels like a secluded hinterland retreat, you're only around 20 minutes from Coolangatta Airport and some of the Gold Coast's most beautiful beaches, making it easy to enjoy both rainforest tranquillity and coastal adventures during your stay.

Guests also have the opportunity to enjoy our gentle infrared sauna, wander through the gardens, relax in the Mediterranean-inspired courtyard, or simply unwind with a book while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

Above all, Olive & Stone Estate isn't designed to be just a place to sleep—it's a place to pause, recharge, and create lasting memories.
