Tucked away in the ancient eco-system of the Otways, surrounded by fresh mountain air, a canopy of overhanging trees and cascading waterfalls lies Qii Eco Retreat. This bold, bright, and beautiful retreat places an emphasis on meditation, relaxation, and serenity, allowing you to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul in a lush rainforest setting.
Located in Lorne, this private household retreat is just a two-hour drive from Melbourne’s CBD, and 15-minutes from the centre of the beachfront town. The architecture of the resort melds seamlessly with the tranquil landscape, standing harmoniously with the tall timbered blue gums and curling green ferns. Qii House is ideal for those who love nature and the outdoors. The retreat’s philosophy is based on the ancient Chinese practise of Feng Shui, believing interaction with the natural environment helps resort the energy balance necessary for mindfulness and wellbeing.
Accommodation at the retreat epitomises every aspect of the Feng Shui way, without sacrificing substance for style. The retreat boasts bright interiors, quirky architecture and immaculate gardens. Rooms feature high cathedral ceilings, round convex windows and airy interiors to allow the natural light, breeze, and atmosphere to seep in and permeate the indoor areas. The house comfortably sleeps eight individuals in two Queen bedrooms, and two smaller bedrooms, with two separate bathrooms. Facilities include a fully-equipped kitchen fitted with bright, retro-style appliances; an outdoor pizza oven sat on large deck with al fresco dining settings; a log wood wire, ideal for those chilly winter evenings; and two outdoor gazebos, perfect for meditating or simply admiring the view.
A stay at the house includes complimentary wine on arrival, a luxury breakfast hamper consisting of seasonal locally sourced produce, and a gift-wrapped bathroom hamper. Qii Eco Retreat makes for a spectacular weekend escape, filled with medication, relaxation, and living in harmony with nature’s rhythm. Lift your spirits with a stay in spectacular tranquillity nestled in the heart of the Otways.
