Our sacred space
A place of purity and vibrancy
The heart of our retreat, the spacious temple and workshop area, is a tranquil setting that can accommodate a myriad of activities.
With its lofty ceilings, the area feels open and airy. A wall of glass doors can be opened to reveal the stunning natural scenery, effortlessly blending the indoor and outdoor spaces. For relaxation after your session or workshop, there's also a large covered deck, offering a peaceful spot to unwind and absorb the surrounding beauty. Its substantial dimensions, 10m x 6m, provide ample room for yoga sessions, comfortably fitting up to 25 individuals with yoga mats.
Our facilities
We also have a well-appointed kitchen that can cater to large groups of up to 25 people. We provide pure filtered rainwater on tap for drinking and bathing. There are also two toilets and two showers, to accommodate larger groups.
Our rooms
Our cosy bunkroom accommodates up to 12 guests. Each bed is dressed with a plush wool pillow and a medium warmth, all season’s cotton quilt.
We maintain a humble approach to our accommodations, offering a queen-sized bedroom that serves as a facilitator's room. This room, too, comes equipped with a queen cotton quilt and wool pillows.
To keep costs down, we kindly ask that you bring your own linen.

Our Location
The Hummingbird, nestled in the heart of Bundjalung Country in Byron Shire, Northern NSW, is truly a retreat like no other. We are honoured to be located in the sacred valley of Wilsons Creek, a place steeped in ancient lore, offering 30 acres of pristine, private nature for our guests to experience.
Bounded by the serene beauty of three National Parks, our retreat, fondly referred to as “The Hum”, is conveniently situated. We are merely a 20-minute drive away from the vibrant and conscious community of Mullumbimby.
The stunning Brunswick beach is within a 25-minute journey, while the bustling center of Byron is just 35 minutes away. At The Hummingbird, we offer a serene gateway to the beautiful and diverse region of Northern NSW.
