No Expectations
Our only goal is to allow you the freedom and space to get lost in your favourite books - no judgement here! Socialise with other readers, or don't. Spend the day in your PJs or in bed. Bring your books, your e-reader, or a magazine. The important part is that this is your time.
Recreation
No Expectations
While books are the heart of our retreats, each venue offers something different.
Enjoy leisurely walks in nature, explore the nearest town, or simply unwind on the beach.
