About us at 'Andersons Eco Retreat'
"A Place to Slow Down, Reconnect and build lasting memories"
Nestled in the lush foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, just over an hour from Melbourne, Andersons Eco Retreat is a secluded off-grid cabin designed for those seeking calm, connection, and simplicity. Whether you're escaping the noise for a weekend, unplugging midweek, or searching for a romantic retreat in nature — this is your place to rest and reset.
Our Story - Building an off-Grid Eco Retreat in Gembrook
We’re Greg and Kim, and Andersons Eco Retreat began as a personal dream — to build and share a space that felt miles away from the chaos of modern life, without being far from home.
After years of weekend getaways ourselves, we found it harder and harder to truly switch off and get away from the crowds. We longed for a place that was private, quiet, sustainable — and surrounded by nature. So, we built it.
What started as a simple off-grid cabin in the woods, has become a little sanctuary — not just for us, but for hundreds of couples, solo travelers, creatives, and nature lovers looking to unplug and reconnect with what matters.
A Romantic Eco Retreat Unlike Any Other
Tucked among towering gums and native ferns, our eco retreat offers a stay that’s both rustic and romantic.
-
Deep soaking bathtub for ultimate relaxation
-
Wander your own private walking trails
-
Swim in our spring-fed swimming hole
-
Curl up by the wood fire with a book and glass of wine
-
Enjoy a digital detox — or bring your laptop and work remotely in complete peace
This is slow living at its best — no rush, no noise, just nature, comfort, and time.
Sustainability With Soul - A Slow Stay Philosophy
Andersons Eco Retreat runs completely off-grid. Powered by the sun, fed by the rain, and built with sustainability in mind, our cabin invites you to experience comfort and connection — without compromise.
We believe nature doesn’t need to be tamed to be enjoyed. So we’ve kept things simple, beautiful, and intentional:
-
Solar-powered energy
-
Rainwater tanks
-
Recycled and natural materials
-
Low-impact design
-
Native plantings and bird-friendly landscaping
Every detail is designed to leave a lighter footprint — and a deeper impression.
