SLOW STAYS

On the land of the Ngarrindgeri People, surrounded by 160 acres of vineyards and olive groves on South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula you’ll find Lost Retreat’s first custom-built sustainable bolthole – Mount Jagged lakeside retreat. The brainchild of architect and sustainable builder friends, Damien Chwalisz and Steve Brooks, this is a place to escape the everyday and tread lightly at the same time; to bathe in the outdoor tub, swap the screen for board games, play records, and drink organic wine from the vineyard outside your door. Built locally from repurposed, sustainable and recycled materials, the solar-powered retreat is beautifully designed and full of considered touches – from the hand-blown glassware to the handmade soap.
