Palm Springs Retreat
Heritage charm meets desert luxe in the Hunter Valley.
Step inside a colourful desert daydream at Palm Springs Retreat - a stylish, art-filled getaway in a beautifully reimagined 1920s co-op building. Located just a 10-minute walk to Cessnock’s town centre and a short drive to the wineries of Pokolbin, Lovedale, and Mount View, this one-of-a-kind 3-bedroom villa is anything but ordinary.
Once the local butcher shop and cold store for the Aberdare Co-Op (est. 1919), the building now oozes Palm Springs flair - think bold colours, curated art, eclectic decor, and a cactus garden worthy of its own photoshoot.
Sleeps 6 adults (Sorry, not suitable for children or infants) in retro-modern comfort
• Bedroom 1: King bed
• Bedroom 2: King Bed
• Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Each bedroom is cool, calm and curated with plush bedding, high ceilings, and vintage vibes.
Living area that pops
The open-plan living and dining space is bold, bright and beautiful - with plush velvet seating, a sunny mustard armchair, mid-century pieces, and statement art everywhere you look. Pour a wine, sink into a lounge, flip through an art book, or pop on some tunes and soak up the good vibes.
Two luxe bathrooms
• Deep soaking tub + zebra-print chair = iconic.
• Huge walk-in rain shower
• Industrial finishes meet warm tones
• Polished concrete floors throughout
Every detail is thoughtful, tactile, and totally photogenic.
Your own cactus garden paradise
Step outside to a resort-style cactus garden straight out of Palm Springs. Palm trees sway overhead, cacti and succulents line the pathways, and a sparkling pool invites you to float the day away.
Morning coffee on the verandah?
Sunset drinks under the palms?
Yoga among the agaves?
It’s all possible here.
