The pod's charred-timber back in the afternoon sun, on its private hilltop above green valleys

The Retreat

One pod. One hilltop.

A single private luxury pod, built for wellness, rest and recovery. No lobby, no neighbours, no schedule. Only the mountains, the heat and the quiet between them.

The Pod

Wake to the ridge.

Solis is one pod in two parts: the living area and the wet area. The bedroom is glass on three sides, turned to the mountains, so the day arrives slowly and on its own terms. Behind you, a shell of charred timber keeps the world at a distance.

Lie in. Read. Watch the weather cross the valley. Nothing here asks anything of you.

The Wet Area

Heat, then the long view.

A private traditional sauna with a wide window onto the valley: water on hot stones, real heat and steam, with the shower, sink and toilet beside it. Stay in the heat as long as you like, step out into the hill air, and go back again. No bookings, no shared benches, no one waiting their turn.

The Land

A hilltop, kept private.

A private hilltop in South Gippsland, Victoria. 90 minutes from Melbourne, 90 minutes from Wilsons Promontory. Valleys fall away on every side.

Recovery

Rest, taken seriously.

Heat, then cool mountain air. Deep sleep, far from any noise. Long hours with nothing in them, and your health given the room to return. Come after a hard season, before a big one, or simply to hear yourself think again.

The pod

A traditional sauna: Yours alone, inside the pod. Water on hot stones for real heat and steam, not infrared.
