Create Retreats

Create Retreats own two country properties especially made for crafting, girls weekends and families

Create @ Warburton provides a special place to get away from the rush of city life. Look at the views of Mt Victoria, enjoy the parrots on the deck or just sit next to the fire. Walkers and bike riders can tackle the Warburton trail, mountain bike tracks or Mt Donna Buang. There are 2 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms in the retreat which have been refurbished in a very comfortable and eclectic manner! Cre

ate@Harcourt is in the centre of Harcourt just 5 minutes from Castlemaine. The 5 bedroom Mt Gambier stone house has been lovingly refurbished. The retreat is located within very short distance of two excellent cafes. Both of our retreats have been designed to cater for crafting retreats. Both have a huge crafting table with inbuilt power points and excellent lighting in the crafting rooms. Cutting tables and irons and ironing boards are provided for patch workers and garment makers.

Want to try what has described as “maybe the best lamington in the country”?

When you are staying at Create@Harcourt, make sure you walk 300 m down the road to where these beauties, sourdough bread and other baked delights are produced from local ingredients in a wood fired scotch oven.

Only open Sat mornings atm. You have to get in quickly.

These fabulous baked goods are from which is about 300m from Create@Harcourt!

Their lamington ( featuring local ) was recently described by as “maybe the best in the country”. Get on down and see what you think.

Baked from local ingredients in a traditional scotch oven on site, these delicious morsels are currently available on Saturday mornings only until sold out.

Another addition to the lovely culinary options in Harcourt. Lucky us.

In case you’ve missed this! Harcourt/Castlemaine have gold starred in the bakery dept.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We think that these bakeries need to be on your agenda for your next stay at Create@Harcourt. .and.co goodies ( the 3rd pic is Matt’s bread) available at and ( on Wed). currently open Saturday mornings just a few 100m from the retreat.

Posted • Anyone hitting the highways this Easter would be wise to plan a pit stop around one of the standout country bakeries Victoria is blessed with. There’s a vanilla slice that “puts others to shame”, pies and Cornish pasties made the old-school way, and what might be the country’s best lamington. Hit the link in our bio or visit the Good Food app for the full list.⁠

I’ve suggested to that she could leave this quilt at the retreat when she checks out. It looks like it was meant to live on that bed!

Going on retreat is the perfect time to complete those projects that have been languishing in the unfinished pile for a while. How good must that feel? 👏 👏 ⭐️

I LOVE seeing what people make on retreat! 🥰

Thanks for sharing these lovely creations.

Posted • There’s just something about a sewing weekend that makes me want to start all the projects—so of course, I end up making a couple of project bags too! ✂️✨

One is from a scrappy Liberty QAYG panel I stitched back in July 2022, and the other started as a little experiment to learn clam shells using tiny fabric scraps. Both are now perfect for holding all the ideas (and fabric) that seem to multiply when I’m away sewing!

Do you have a go-to project for sewing weekends?

I brought this beauty home from Create@Harcourt for a wash. Made by the queen herself, ‘s spin cycle is a simple but fabulously effective pattern. 🪡

This quilt looks especially fine made in Emma’s fabric ranges 60’s scrap bag and the linen cupboard. 🧵

Have you slept under this quilt at Harcourt yet?

Thanks to my quilt holders in the last 📷

This is gold. And apart from the calm and boring days (which I love and yearn for btw) , sounds a little like being on retreat.

Make sure you visit us at least once this year. ❤️
Or even spend time at both retreats. Now that’s a good idea. 🥰

Some beautiful women volunteered their time and expertise to sew quilts at Create@Warburton for ❤️

The program is desperately short of teenage boy quilts so these lovelies whipped some up in 38C at a weekend away on retreat. Not bad when you can sneak in some fun and connection as well.

When you donate 200 quilts a month to inpatients at the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne you need to generate a lot of quilts! 🧵 🪡 ❤️

THANK YOU 🙏 🥰 🌺
