Opening October 2026
Verdun · Adelaide Hills · A private farm wellness retreat for two.
Designed in deliberate contrast to modern life.
Always best booked direct — our lowest rate, and a host who answers personally.
Casa Sol is a private, design-led retreat created for couples seeking something deeper than a place to stay. Here, luxury is felt in the small moments — warmth underfoot, fresh country air, and soft light pouring through floor-to-ceiling glass across open fields. Outside, Highland cows wander nearby and a small private dam adds to the quiet sense of space and stillness.
Thoughtfully designed for comfort in every season — naturally insulated, double glazed, and gently warmed with underfloor heating. The architecture is simple and considered: a gable form lined in natural ply and detailed joinery, sitting quietly within the landscape rather than competing with it.
"The most honest luxury is a building that breathes with the land."
Casa Sol is hosted by Scott and Mary. Before creating it, they built and ran a retreat nearby in the Hills — welcoming more than three hundred couples, earning a 4.98 rating, and ranking among Australia's top fifty Superhosts on Airbnb.
They answer personally, prepare everything before you arrive, and hold your dates as yours — never double-booked, never bumped. For the stays that matter most — a proposal, a babymoon, a quiet anniversary — that certainty is the point.

★★★★★A phenomenal location within driving distance of Hahndorf and the wine regions — a private retreat that screams luxury the moment you arrive. Much warmth from the friendly interactions, especially with the cows, and lovely touches like apples to feed the animals. One of our top, top stays for sure.

★★★★★A wonderful weekend with my partner. The location was absolutely beautiful and we loved the outdoor bath. Adorable cows, a thoughtful breakfast, and incredibly comfortable bedding. Scott and Mary even suggested lovely places for dinner. This place is a gem.

Every element of Casa Sol has been chosen with one intention — to help you slow down, sleep deeply, and leave feeling restored. The Japanese soaking bath, infrared sauna, organic bedding, radiant-floor warmth, and the simple quiet of a working farm at night create the conditions for genuine rest. Not a wellness programme. Not a schedule. Just space, warmth, and the unhurried rhythm of the land.
An embedded couples ofuro to sink into at the end of a long walk through the vines — deep, hot, entirely private.
A large infrared sauna with fast heat-up, ready whenever you are. Cool down in the outdoor shower or by the fire pit under the Hills sky.
A large undercover alfresco with bar and sun lounges — your space to linger over a bottle of Hills Pinot as the light changes.
Soaring ply-lined gable ceiling, bespoke joinery, and a designer bathroom — interiors that feel both grounded and extraordinary.
Hydronic underfloor warmth throughout — no cold tiles, just an even, invisible embrace on Adelaide Hills winter mornings.
Solitex airtight wrap, double glazing, and passive solar orientation — comfort with a conscience, built for the long term.
We have built the entire experience around one belief: that genuine rest — the kind that actually restores you — is one of the rarest luxuries available. The farm setting, the silence, the clean air, the warmth underfoot: everything conspires to help you sleep more deeply and leave feeling like yourself again.
A qualified therapist comes to you. Couples, relaxation or remedial — tailored to what your body needs most.
Advance bookingBegin your morning with a private session in the retreat, guided by an experienced practitioner. Restorative, gentle or energising.
Advance bookingYou are actively encouraged not to set an alarm. Wake when the light comes in, when the birds shift, when your body is ready.
Casa Sol is a full-sized, beautifully designed private home — not a compact cabin or glamping pod. With a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, and generous living spaces, you have everything you need to feel completely at ease, whether you're staying a weekend or settling in for a week or two.
Casa Sol sits on a working farm in the heart of Verdun — Highland cattle grazing, a quiet dam, paddocks rolling to the treeline — yet a short stroll from some of the Adelaide Hills' most celebrated destinations. All times below are walking distances.
