Lon Retreat & Spa
About
Overview & Vibe
Lon Retreat sits on a working coastal property at Point Lonsdale — moonah woodland, lakes and open farmland running down to a private beach track onto the Lonsdale back beach, with a sandstone retreat and mineral spa at its centre.
Setting & Style
Weddings here are deliberately rare: exclusive hire, only a handful a year. Ceremonies take the tranquil, private lawns before a marquee site with ocean views and sunsets running out over the paddocks and dunes, holding up to 120 guests. Seven luxury suites are spread through the sandstone retreat, sleeping up to sixteen on site, and Lon Spa — a small, exclusive space of mineral-water-fed soaking tubs, steam rooms and views to the ocean, lighthouse and coastal landscape — is handed over to the wedding party for the duration. The moonah forests, lakes, farmland and beach track between them give photographers a property most venues can't match.
Ideal For
Couples wanting a whole coastal property to themselves — spa, suites and back beach included.

- Exclusive hire only, with a very limited number of weddings taken each year.
