Makers Craft Retreats

Hi and Welcome! My Name is Denielle & I started to run my own Craft Retreats ( Craft Camps )  in 2008 for my need to be with like minded women, all crafting and inspiring each other. By 2010 these retreats became a quintessential part of my life, as well as the ladies that attend my retreats. Like most of the ladies that come to our Craft Retreat, I needed these crafty breaks as they were like a therapy for me.

Women need women! We really do - we need to banter, laugh, vent, support, congratulate, inspire, teach !

Our retreats are just the break you need!

You wont know you actually needed the break until you actually have the break! 

  Over the years I have met with so many ladies that also love to connect with other likeminded women, and thats how my Craft Retreat  business was born!  Now we run TEN Craft Retreats a year. They run from 3 days to 5 days. We're in a stunning rural setting, with the most gorgeous surroundings. There is ample crafting space, the craft room is open 24hours and boasts daylight globes, so ample light for crafting into the wee hours if required.

The accommodation is clean and super comfortable. Rooms are twin share with beautiful hotel quality linen, comfy just waiting for you to relax and rest.  Prices start as low as $299 per person, this includes 3 days crafting, afternoon tea, unlimited Tea & Coffee and of course your shared accommodation.

We also have a 5 day option for only $499 - Most women prefer those extra days. 

If you can only get away for the day - we offer a small number of "Day Passes" as well, this way no one misses out! 

You have the option to self cater or for a small cost have delicious meals prepared for you.

You can have one meal a day catered, or every meal, the choice is yours.

We also have an inhouse fully qualified massage therapist and naturopath who offers amazing treatments at a discounted cost!  Your time spent with us is all about you, relax and enjoy.   

There is also the opportunity to visit to the Wonderful Historical Tocal Homestead with a Devonshire Tea.

Tocal Homestead is open every Sunday March until November.

My Love Of Craft & Being a Maker.

I have played with all types of craft and have been an avid crafter since the age of about 7. As a qualified Dress Designer & Maker I naturally turn to all things creative, I Dress Make & Design, quilt, bead, knit, crochet, cross stitch, paint just about anything I can put my hand to I will give a go. I LOVE being with like minded people and to be able to share what we do, is vitally important to me. 

I want to see the art of " Making" transcend down through the generations so these beautiful talents and skills are not lost. 

We need to keep showing and teaching! So many younger people are keen to learn these wonderful skills. I think its amazing and a privilage being able to be one of the ones that can pass on this skill. I'd love you to join me in this quest. 

 

About Denielle

Childhood

Dreams

I have been creating ever since I can remember ... from mud pies to sewing clothes for my barbies. My lovely mum taught me the skills of yarn at a very young age and my love for all things crafty grew from there.
