Our Guiding Principle

We are delighted to share this unspoiled eucalypt bushland and spectacular river with those who seek rest and restoration.

We feel very blessed to have the privilege of being custodians of this special, special place. We moved here mid-2026 and reside in this paradise as semi-retirees. We are enjoying it for ourselves, and where possible sharing it with others via accommodation at the Lookout, and wellness offerings. Explore the pages here and see what resonates with you. More will be added over time.

We are delighted that River Haven has 'Land for Wildlife' status and we will continue to honour and prioritise this. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Jirrbal people, and pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. We also appreciate and pay our respects to anyone else who loves and honours this and all land, our mother earth.

With gratitude,
Drew and Maia

About us

Curious to experience it for yourself?

Rest, relax and unwind. Immerse yourself in the majestic Millstream!

Our Origins

Founded on Clean Water, Eucalyptus Shade, and Intuitive Sound

River Haven Retreat was born from a deep respect for the Millstream River and its surrounding bushland. We envisioned a place where the restorative harmony of nature—its running water, dappled sunlight, and fresh air—could offer genuine respite. This sanctuary is dedicated to providing an unhurried space for personal reflection and healing.

Our unique approach integrates the soothing power of handpan soundscapes and expressive voice work with immersive river-sauna experiences. We believe in intuitive guidance, allowing each guest to find their own rhythm, fostering a profound connection to both the earth and their inner landscape.
