Renowned for their collection of intimately unique retreats,

Spicers Retreats combines the individuality and privacy of

a bed and breakfast with the style, quality and standards of

the world’s finest hotels.

With six stunning destinations in south-east Queensland, two

in the Hunter Valley, NSW, one in the Blue Mountains, NSW,

and one in the Sydney CBD, each Spicers destination offers

an exclusive, private escape from the world.

SPICERS RETREATS OFFERS AN EXCLUSIVE

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE TO A WORLD OF

BREATHTAKING AUSTRALIAN SCENERY,

ATTENTIVE SERVICE, UNIQUE GASTRONOMIC

DELIGHTS, REFINED COMFORT,

and relaxed luxury.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The Spicers Retreats collection grew out of the idea that

small hotels should feel like a home, but guests should still

enjoy a level of service they’d expect at the finest hotel.

Here, there is no ‘cookie-cutter’ style, no rigid rules so

that every property looks the same. Instead, we embrace

individuality so that each property is as intimately unique

as the group itself.

SUSTAINABILITY

At the heart of Spicers Retreats is a love for the environment

and a deep desire to see people experience the wonder of

nature in a sustainable way, without sacrificing luxury in

the process.

Our commitment to the land means we invest heavily

in responsible farming techniques, sourcing ethically and

sustainably grown ingredients for our restaurants, and in the

rejuvenation of thousands of acres of private nature reserve

that our retreats are positioned on.

THE SPICERS EXPERIENCE

Spicers Retreats offer an escape to breathtaking Australian

scenery, attentive service and relaxed luxury. Surrounded by

stunning vistas, cocooned in a rainforest or set amid quaint

hinterland towns and villages, every retreat invites you to

explore the region it is located in, and experience its sights,

sounds, and unique character.

Each property offers not only a unique location, but a

range of natural environments – the high country woodland

of Spicers Peak Lodge, the tranquil rainforest of Spicers

Tamarind Retreat and the open grassland of Spicers Hidden

Vale. These unique ecosystems are also home to a wide

variety of native flora and fauna.

By bringing together unforgettable locations, award-winning

gourmet cuisine and attentive service, Spicers Retreats

make the ideal venue for special occasions, an inspiring

conference or a unique Australian getaway.

CULINARY MASTERS

Spicers Retreats’ chefs are deservedly renowned for their

imagination and skill. Each culinary master embraces the

overarching Spicers philosophy of food sustainability,

combining wholesome locally sourced ingredients with

their own freshly-grown produce. This strong focus on

the respect for produce, producer and the environment

has enabled each of the restaurants to develop a dining

experience that wins the hearts of guests every time.

EVERY PLATE IS A MASTERPIECE

Modern Australian, French, Italian, Thai and other Asian

cuisines are just a few of the cooking styles that lend their

influence to and inspire the mouth-watering dishes created

by our multi-hatted chefs.

Carefully selected wines, outstanding attention to detail and

knowledgeable service complete the experience.

Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a business lunch,

a corporate celebration, high tea or invigorating breakfast,

you’ll find the gourmet experience to suit your needs and

please your palette.

you’ll discover complete rejuvenation and

true reconnection.

As an eco-certified retreat, Spicers Sangoma Retreat

features sauna facilities, infinity lap pool, open plan lounge

and accommodation for 12 guests that captures the beauty

of the natural surrounds, making it an ideal setting for

luxurious escapes and intimate celebrations.

DINING

The ever-changing menu at Spicers Sangoma Retreat

is inspired by fresh, organic, seasonal produce sourced

locally from farmers and producers within our community.

Our chef and kitchen team believe in hearty food, full of

flavour, colour and a touch of spice. We offer our guests

a set, 4-course menu that changes nightly but are happy

to cater to dietary requirements.

Guests are invited to dine under the stars to make the

most of our unique locale and in winter, they can enjoy an

aperitif or roast marshmallows on the outdoor

open-pit fire.

Our all-inclusive packages include dinner nightly, lunch

and breakfast daily.

SPICERS POTTS POINT

COMING SOON

Nestled in the midst of Potts Point on the

edge of the Sydney CBD, Spicers Potts

Point has a distinct urban feel.

Situated on Victoria Street, it comprises 20 guest rooms;

15 housed within the 1880 Victorian Terrace House with

the remaining five rooms in a beautiful new extension

with a textured laneway outlook. Tucked away on a leafy

street these former Sydney townhouses are surrounded

by fashionable shops, cafes and restaurants and offer

convenient access to Sydney’s world class atttractions.

The new hotel reflects a fresh contemporary style. The

palette is neutral, peaceful and restrained - bleached oaks,

lime washed bisques with highlights of gold, soft slouchy

linens, cuddly soft towels and the famous Spicers Retreat

bed establishes a luxury that is relaxed and uniquely

Australian. Modern transparent bathrooms and original

character fireplace mantels mix the language emphasising

the blend of old and new. The hotel has a private club feel

that peacefully envelopes the guest once inside and away

from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. Visitors to the

hotel can enjoy a drink at the new reception bar, breakfast

in the garden courtyard or perhaps host a small meeting

in a private room.
