August 7 – 9, 2026 | Come gather with us for a weekend made entirely for readers.We're heading back to the magical, off-grid Hunter Valley Adventures and we couldn't be more thrilled. Last year's retreat left us all deeply rested, wonderfully well-read, and genuinely reluctant to leave. We have a feeling this year will be even better.Tucked into the trees beside a river, this rustically beautiful property is the kind of place that makes you exhale the moment you arrive. No schedules. No obligations. No signal. Just you, your books, and a whole community of people who completely understand why you brought four books for a two-night trip.However you love to read: curled up by the fire, stretched out in the sun, tucked into the green of the forest, quietly alone or happily chatting with fellow book lovers - there is a perfect spot and a perfect pace here waiting for you.What to expect: ? Ample guilt-free, uninterrupted reading time all weekend long ? Cozy rustic communal spaces with fireside reading nooks ? Peaceful riverside surroundings made for slowing down ? Delicious meals to keep you nourished and happy ✨ The company of people who love books as much as you doNo required reading. No book club prep. Just the story you've been meaning to get to.Everything included: ? Unlimited and unapologetic reading and journaling time ? A welcome bag of bookish goodies?️ Rustic cabin accommodations ?️ Delicious meals : 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner A few things to know before you pack your bag:This property is gloriously, intentionally off-grid — no power, no running water, and no cell reception. That's exactly the point. What you will find is an outdoor kitchen, a cozy cookhouse, a riverside setting, and the most stunning dark night skies you've seen in a while.On-site amenities include: outdoor kitchen with BBQ and camp stove, cookhouse with firepit and picnic tables, all cooking and dining equipment, a dishwashing station, wash station, three outhouses, board games, free firewood, and bear-proof garbage.?️ Beds include a mattress and sheet - please bring your own bedding and layers!Each cabin is unique and most are designed to comfortably house more than our group size allows, so you'll have plenty of room. When booking, please select carefully and let us know who you'd like to share with. Please note there is not an option to be roomed with another new bookish friend on this retreat. If you are travelling solo, please pick the single room option.Please also advise us of any dietary needs at least one week before the retreat so we can make sure everyone is well fed and taken care of.Learn more about the property here.We can't wait to read beside you.
