La Rocher Eco Retreat
4.9
191 reviewsAbout
La Rocher is a family-owned and run Eco Retreat situated in the soft foothills of the Wollumbin caldera, right in the heart of the Tweed Valley and Northern Rivers hinterland, close to the historical village of Uki.
The story behind the name is linked to the surname “Rocher” which is French for "large rock", thus referencing the spectacular Wollumbin that is a focal point of the view from the property. The property is designed with three main focuses: low environmental impact geared towards sustainability; peace and tranquillity to escape rest and recharge; and luxury and comfort for an indulgent experience.
La Rocher hosts four luxury villas, designed by owner Graham Rocher and built in 2019. The villas are strategically placed on the property for maximum privacy and ideal panoramic views and feature contemporary bespoke interior design. Just metres from the villas is the infinity pool with an attached hot tub spa with sun loungers and cabanas to enjoy the expansive views and lush surroundings.
The property spans 117 acres of predominantly untouched native rainforest and bushland. This area features the Koala Corridor Program and Biodiversity Agreement and contains several kilometres of walking trails, a creek, two dams and multiple viewpoints.

What this place offers
La Rocher Eco Retreat
La Rocher Eco Retreat offers spectacular, unhindered views from each of its four luxury villas. Each villa has a lush king-size bed, open plan living area, kitchenette, double-side log fireplace, large deck, and incredible en suite bathroom. Relax on their gorgeous sun cabanas at the infinity pool, and enjoy vistas of the world heritage Mount Warning/Wollumbin and the distant Border Ranges. The serenity, peace, and tranquillity are truly nourishment for the soul. Visiting the quaint local villages, rainforest and a hike up Mount Warning is a must. The retreat is situated in the soft foothills of the World Heritage Mount Warning Caldera, right in the heart of the Tweed Shire and close to the historical village of Uki. It is a comfortable 1.5 to two-hour drive from Brisbane and just over an hour from the Gold Coast. Despite being inland, it is close to some of Australia’s best beaches with soft white sands and sparkling aquamarine surf. Byron Bay, Pottsville, Hastings Point, Cabarita, Kingscliff, and Rainbow Bay are all within a half an hour to 45-minute drive through the beautiful verdant countryside.

We had such a lovely, relaxing time at La Rocher. Graham was an incredibly welcoming and friendly host. The room was perfect and had an amazing view of Wollumbin and surrounding area and the pool was great for a late afternoon dip. Would definitely recommend this place and really hope we're able to have a return visit at some point.

If you want to get away from it all and completely relax, this is the place to come. Beautiful views over Mount Warning and amazing sunsets from the large balcony. The villas are well equipped and it has a great bath, shower and ‘loo with a view’. Graham made us feel very welcome and gave us lots of tips on what to do in the local area. Thanks, we would love to return some day.

We can’t recommend this little gem highly enough. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was simply perfect. The view is absolutely breathtaking — truly something special. The villa is beautifully designed, with every detail thoughtfully considered. Graham, our host, was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The sunsets were unforgettable, and the sounds of the rainforest birds created the most magical atmosphere. We also loved exploring the charming nearby towns — full of character, great food, and friendly locals. One of the highlights was spotting whales just off a beach nearby — an unforgettable experience! If you’re looking to escape the city, unplug for a while, and immerse yourself in stunning natural surroundings, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be returning!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our second stay at La Roche and it was just as wonderful as the first! Our host, Graham, was fantastic and made sure everything was taken care of for us. The cabins are warm, inviting, and beautifully comfortable, with absolutely incredible views that make it hard to leave. Such a relaxing and welcoming place – we’ll definitely be back again!

I recently booked La Rocher as a birthday surprise for my partner and it did not disappoint! The location was perfect and the villa provided for a romantic weekend getaway. The owner, Graham, was most welcoming and ensured our arrival and stay was seamless. We had a great weekend and will absolutely endeavour to return!
