RETREAT collection

Cottage , Groupie and Short Stay Lots

The RETREAT Collection is inspired by simple country cottages found in the small villages and towns scattered throughout the Southwest.

Designed for Cottage, Groupie and Short Stay Lots, the RETREAT Collection are simple but innovative homes that maximise the use of the Lot on which they are sited. Although compact , the clever home layout with high ceilings and all rooms having views of private northern courtyards lives larger than its footprint would suggest. Available in 2 x 1, 2 x 2 and 3 x 2 configurations.

Smaller homes that live big .

“The energy efficiency is clearly illustrated by the comfortable indoor temperatures no matter the weather outside. Our home is exceptionally easy to live in with the spacious feel of the rooms highlighted by the high ceilings and wide doorways.”

Gill & Bouwe, Retreat house owners, Cluster 2 A

Make it personal

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story is very personal.

We know that personal style is just that - well it’s personal. That’s why we have curated a selection of unique interior options from our sustainable materials palette to allow you to visualize your own space and make informed choices.

Our Interiors Team have designed a series of Themes to help simplify your choices for your Econest home. This saves you the unenviable task of visiting all the showrooms and trying to match selections to availability , budget and time constraints while visualizing the final look.

Of course you can also request a personal consult with our designers to tweak any of the pre-designed interior schemes, or create something specifically for your taste.
