  • “The drive into this amazing temperate rainforest along the black spur is something to behold.”

    “Amazing tall mountain ash trees on both sides of the road . Breathtaking! Sequoyah is tucked away on the side of a steep rainforest. It is secluded and quiet. The only thing that we could hear was a variety of wildlife. We would recommend Sequoyah Retreat if you want time away in complete seclusion. It’s tranquil and peaceful.”

  • “A magical piece of heaven on earth.”

    “The trees, plants, birds, animals and the amazing energy. As soon as I walked into the property, I felt so connected. Connected to nature and to myself. I felt so calm and slept so soundly, it was uniquely healing. I will be returning to Sequoyah Retreat for my regular dose of healing and connection”

  • “What an amazing experience to behold!!!”

    Set in nature that is breathtaking. The tall elegant trees stand with such presence. Shane and Suzy are in the process of restoring this 100+ building and surroundings, keeping the authenticity of the building and area intact. I was fortunate enough to stay two nights in this serene environment, woken up by the silence and then the calls of the various parrots and the gentle breeze making it’s way through the ferns and trees. What this couple have done to this place and continue to do is nothing short of miraculous. I wish them every succews with their venture knowing that whoever has the luxury of visiting Sequoyah Retreat will leave with great peace and gratitude in their heart.
