Leaves & Fishes is a boutique country escape in Lovedale - shaped by nature, steeped in nostalgia, and touched by quiet magic. 

It features an adults only overwater haven for intimate stays, a curated homewares gallery, and a unique setting for weddings, retreats and events.

Rooted in place and embraced by the landscape, Leaves & Fishes is an ever-evolving stay, wedding, event and retreat space: unpolished, soulful, and deeply personal. Come to rest, reconnect or realign, with thoughtful comforts and unexpected details along the way.

Our boutique accommodation spans four intimate Boathouses and The Villa, offering stays for solo travellers, couples, or small groups seeking space and stillness. With a maximum of just 12 guests at any one time, each stay invites you to slow down, reconnect, and savour quiet moments - from coffee on the deck to long, laughter-filled evenings. 

The TROVE is our curated homewares space and living gallery - a collection of one of a kind pieces, plants, objects and textiles gathered from near and far. Thoughtful, tactile and timeless, each item is chosen to bring a sense of story, beauty and soul into everyday living. Part gallery, part store, its a place to wander slowly, discover and bring a little of Leaves & Fishes home with you. 

Set within our lakeside gardens and natural surrounds, Leaves & Fishes offers an intimate and atmospheric setting for weddings, celebrations and small gatherings. Unhurried, personal and deeply connected to the landscape, our events are shaped with intention - allowing the place, the people and the moment to take centre stage.
