Lon Retreat & Spa

About Lon Retreat & Spa

Lon Retreat & Spa in Point Lonsdale is a quiet, adults-only sanctuary that feels worlds away without being remote. Set on over 200 acres of private land with uninterrupted views of the coast and countryside, it’s home to just seven carefully designed suites. Every corner of the property feels intentional—from the local breakfast hampers to the indoor heated mineral pool fed by natural underground springs. It’s the kind of place where you check in and immediately start to slow down, without needing to go anywhere else.

When to visit

Late summer into early autumn is the best time to visit. The weather is warm, the skies are clear, and the retreat feels calm as the busy season fades.

Most popular: February - March

Spring · Sep, Oct, Nov

Spring at Lon Retreat & Spa is light and bright. The grounds come alive with blooming wildflowers and ocean breezes, making it the perfect time for slow walks around the property or along the private beach access. Inside the spa, spring-inspired treatments often feature local botanicals that match the season’s fresh, open feel. The energy is balanced—quiet but vibrant, just like the landscape outside.

Summer · Dec, Jan, Feb

Summer brings a golden calm. Days are long and warm, with guests reading on sun loungers, exploring the coastal trails, or dipping into the mineral pool after a beach walk. The indoor spaces stay cool and breezy, and the quiet surroundings make it easy to stay put and just enjoy the view. This season suits anyone looking for space, sunshine, and slow days by the water.

Autumn · Mar, Apr, May

Autumn shifts things into a more peaceful rhythm. The colors outside soften, and the air cools just enough to make the mineral baths feel even better. It’s a time for long baths, slower mornings, and evenings spent watching the light change over the paddocks and sea. The retreat feels even more secluded, making it a perfect season for couples or solo guests looking to disconnect.

Winter · Jun, Jul, Aug

Winter is when Lon becomes a full retreat in every sense of the word. The mineral pool feels extra indulgent, the fireplaces around the property get good use, and the coastline takes on a moody, cinematic feel. It’s not the time for sunbathing, but for journaling, slow spa sessions, and enjoying warm meals made with local produce. It’s the quietest season—and that’s exactly why some guests love it most.
