About this house rental
Escape to MindWell Retreat, a stunning 5-acre estate designed for deep relaxation and return to nature. Just minutes from the charm of Victoria, this modern gem in the forest offers a rare combination of total seclusion, boutique luxury, and wellness amenities.
The Space
MindWell Retreat isn't just a place to sleep—it’s a place to breathe. Surrounded by lush West Coast forest and gardens, the property is a private park with trees as your neighbours.
The Wellness Wing: Each booking at MindWell House includes access to a 3 Hour Contrast Therapy Circuit for guests staying onsite. The Circuit includes our expansive custom cedar sauna with three tiers of seating and enough room to truly stretch out. Step out of the sauna into nature and immerse yourself in the outdoor cold showers and then sit by the fire. It’s a high-end wellness experience right in your own home. You simply let us know when you want to use the Circuit and the hosts will prepare it for you.
You can always add another circuit for an additional fee as we offer special add-on experiences to our guests that can further elevate your stay including:
+ Yoga, Pilates or Meditation Class with a qualified instructor in the comfort of your home studio
+ Childcare
Please note these add-on experiences are not part of your base booking but are available to guests for an additional fee. Ask us for more details.
The Chef’s Kitchen: An open-concept, gourmet kitchen with premium appliances. Whether you’re enjoying the premium Nespresso Coffee provided onsite or preparing a family feast, this space is designed for a restful vacation.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Massive windows and thoughtful design bring the 5-acre forest inside, creating a sense of calm from the moment you walk through the door.
Outdoor Sanctuary
Direct access to a rare Garry Oak Ecosystem and public walking trails right from your back door. Enjoy nature walks & wildlife observation, peaceful contemplation and complete privacy, yet remain close to all of Victoria's best dining and tourist sights.
The Experience
Total Privacy: The entire 5-acre estate is yours —just peace and quiet.
Boutique Luxury: From high-end linens to curated design touches, every detail is intended to provide a "reset" for your senses.
Perfect Location: Enjoy the best of both worlds. You are tucked away in a private forest, yet only a short drive from Victoria’s world-class dining, inner harbour, and coastal charm.
