Caretaker, Custodian and Curator
“I truly enjoy the process of supporting facilitators to create amazing, nature-based experiences.
You have full permission to create and plenty of private land to explore.”
Support for your work…
I am developing close relationships with a small number of facilitators that want to run regular retreats and call Raven’s Nest their community home on the coast.
To help you I can provide resources including:
A planning spreadsheet to calculate costs & profit
An offer of branding and marketing assistance
Referrals to great caterers
A review of your retreat schedule & design
An extra, complimentary night for facilitators to relax and review their work.
I look forward to supporting your transformative retreat.

Frequent Questions…
How many people?
The Land can hold up to 40 people using a range of rooms, camping and other options however most retreats are between 10 and 25 people.
The House has 10 beds plus the Bell Tent has an extra queen bed in a glamping setup. 2 rooms are setup with Queen beds (on with a master ensuite) and 2 rooms are setup with Queen and Single bunks.
Camping spaces are provided both close to the house, down by the pond and scattered throughout the property. These are level and provide space for approximately another 20 people.
The Local AirBNB options are plentiful given that Venus Bay cateres to a range of holiday makers. Group houses as well as luxurious couple options are easily booked with a little planning.
Catering?
Your own caterers are certainly welcome!
We also provide a list of quality caterers who are familiar with the space and provide excellent food and service. Your relationship with caterers is direct and we can help them orientate with photos of the kitchen.
What are the wet weather options?
The Yurt is “all weather” and provides an excellent space for all sorts of events, workshops and processes.
The House Lounge is also a space that is heated via combustion stove and very comfortable whilst having views of the inlet and surrounding hills.
The Lower Deck can also be used if you want a sheltered and shaded space to work outside.
