Here, you’ll slow down, breathe deeply,

& enjoy life at its finest.

A private luxury wellness retreat in Western Australia

The Hill Retreat is more than a place to stay. It is an experience of slowing down.

It is the deep breath you did not realise you were holding. A steadier pace. A private sanctuary designed to help you reconnect with each other, with nature, and with yourself.

Tucked away in Hamilton Hill and close to Manning Park, Fremantle, and some of Western Australia’s most beautiful beaches, The Hill Retreat offers a rare sense of calm where luxury feels personal and time does not feel rushed.

Who we are.

Three years ago, we were drawn to this hilltop in Hamilton Hill. Being able to listen to the birds, breath in the coastal air, and the genuine community feeling immediately stood out. What began as our home slowly grew into a vision to create the kind of retreat we would want to escape to ourselves..

We live here with our two much-loved rescue dogs, Nala and Cooper. Both have come from challenging beginnings, and both remind us daily what patience, kindness, and connection can create. Like this place, they’re soft, soulful, and full of warmth once you get to know them.

Our neighbourhood reflects the same spirit - friendly, conscious, and quietly vibrant. Locals walk, cycle, and greet each other as they head to Manning Park, Fremantle cafés, or the surrounding beaches. It’s a place where life is lived outdoors, slowly and intentionally.

We consider ourselves local internationals - blending European influences with Australian ease. Our love of travel, wellness, food, and thoughtful design shaped The Hill Retreat into what it is today: relaxed, healthy, mindful, and deeply connected.

This is our way of sharing a piece of our paradise and inviting others to discover this beautiful pocket of Perth, Western Australia.

We can’t wait to welcome you!

The Space.

A Sanctuary Designed for You

From the moment you arrive, things begin to feel lighter.

You’ll have your own entrance, parking space, and self-check-in. It is easy and uninterrupted. As you step through the gate, you enter your own secluded garden filled with greenery and soft light.

There are no shared areas. No unexpected interruptions. Just your space.

Your private deck is the heart of your stay, surrounded by lush plants, featuring an oversized sunbed, BBQ, and quiet corners perfect for slow mornings or savouring a sunset with wine. The louvred gazebo lets you choose the mood: sunshine, shade, or shelter when the weather turns cosy.

Inside, the studio is designed for comfort and calm. The lighting is soft, the bed is genuinely comfortable, and storage keeps everything feeling uncluttered. The couch converts into a quality sleeper for extra guests or becomes the perfect movie spot after a long day out.

You are welcome to cook using the induction cooktop, microwave, air fryer, outdoor burner, and BBQ. But with Fremantle, South Fremantle, and Coogee so close, heading out for dinner is very tempting.

Your Wellness Retreat.

Your very own wellness retreat. Just for you.

The sauna is ready whenever you are. No bookings, no shared sessions, no set times. You decide when it starts.

Start by switching on the fairy lights and slipping into your bathrobe. While the sauna heats, make yourself a tea and let the sauna backlights come on low and warm. Your outdoor bath is hot, waiting for you.

Rinse off first in the outdoor shower. Once the sauna's nearing 80 degrees, head in and lay your towel down. Splash one or two scoops of your infusion over the hot stones, breathe in the scent as it lifts, and give yourself 10 to 15 minutes with nothing else to think about.

A cold rinse under the outdoor shower afterwards wakes you right up, if you're up for it. Rest for a few minutes with a glass of water, then go back in for a second round.

Rinse off under the shower and ease into the warm outdoor bath. Lie back, and look up. The stars are the only thing left on the agenda tonight.
