It is so special, after hot days on the beach and great lunches in Apollo Bay, to wind our way up the hills into the bush and sink into the lush garden surrounds and beautifully curated home that is Killala Retreat. Sitting on the wide porch looking out over the mist filled valley eating brekkie, playing table tennis and pool in the games room, and curling up with a book by the fire on colder nights is just what we needed to revive our spirits for the year ahead. Bonus points for the koalas and goats and alpacas that joined us on our daily walks up the hill!
