What about it?

Coorong Life is built on empathy, slowness, and wild beauty. It’s a place where you can stop being “on,” take the pressure off, and just be — held by nature, colour, water, and space.

This is not a wellness retreat with rules and rosters. It’s not a spiritual retreat with a guru.

It’s a space to find your own rhythm — whether that’s writing, walking, painting, dancing, resting, or just doing nothing at all.

We’re not a 5 star resort, we offer unlimited night stars.

Kate’s Kip Pod was exactly what I needed during the school holidays for some alone time with my dog, nature and a good book. The view from my comfortable bed was beautiful and it was lovely to walk around the Coorong and watch the birdlife. The pod had everything I needed and I loved the fire pit outside.

Coorong.life was an amazing destination that I would highly recommend for people who are wanting to get a quiet and relaxing get away. My partner and I also felt very accommodated by the hosts, Kate andTim, during our lovely stay surrounded by the beautiful life of the Coorong

What a magical weekend at the Coorong. The host made sure everything was perfect. The setting was breathe taking. Such amazing bird life, I have never seen so many pelicans. A wonderful place to switch off. I will definitely visit again and will recommend to friends!

No better place to disconnect from the city life. Off the grid tiny house a stones throw from the water. Quality features inside make the adjustment easy. Kate and the pups were also brilliant hosts. Stayed for three nights but wish it was more!
