“The first time I walked onto this estate, the panoramic Gold Coast views completely stopped me — it feels like you can see forever, from the skyline to the ocean,” Lana Faulkner told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.
“Exploring the different clusters of villas and spa spaces, you instantly imagine it as a wedding venue or a luxury holiday retreat — a place where people come to celebrate, recharge, and escape. It’s rare to find a property where you can feel this level of privacy and connection while being so close to everything.”

The thoughtfully designed estate is currently divided into three key precincts: a Hilltop Guest and Hospitality Precinct, Wellness and Guest Retreat Wing, and an Operations and Infrastructure Zone.
“Originally designed as a boutique retreat, the estate is already set up for luxury escapes, wellness experiences, and events. The layout is ideal for intimate weddings, group getaways, or curated wellness programs, with multiple accommodation options and a stunning backdrop that feels like its own world,” Lana told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.
“It has that same feeling you get from some of Australia’s best-known retreats — but here, you have the opportunity to make it your own, whether that’s a holiday destination, a wellness sanctuary, or a legacy estate.”
