Greetings, Dear guests, A warm welcome to The Dragonfly Retreat — a peaceful sanctuary where nature, creativity, and heartfelt hospitality come together. As your hosts, Mark and I are passionate about creating an experience that goes far beyond just a place to stay. We’ve poured our hearts into shaping The Dragonfly into a space where guests can truly slow down, reconnect, and be inspired. I'm Lorraine — a singer, songwriter, and nature lover. Music is the thread that runs through my life, and I find endless inspiration in the rustling trees, flowing water, and quiet magic of this land. The Dragonfly is more than a retreat; it’s a creative sanctuary where the soul can breathe freely. In our free time, you’ll often find us walking the land, enjoying a good book, or sharing stories with guests over coffee. We believe joy is found in the small moments — a shared meal, a song at sunset, laughter by the pool. What brings us the greatest happiness is seeing our guests relax, celebrate, and connect — with nature, with each other, and with themselves. Whether you're here for rest, celebration, or inspiration, know that you’re not just visitors — you’re part of The Dragonfly’s story. And we’re honoured to be part of yours. With warmth and gratitude, Lorraine & Mark Your hosts at The Dragonfly Retreat
