La Moneta Retreat – A Sanctuary for Healing & Hope -Tranquil Hillside Haven | House in Dean
4 Bedroom House in Dean
Where ancestral spirit meets cinematic beauty—every stay becomes part of something bigger.
Welcome to La Moneta Retreat, a rare gem hidden in the heart of Dja Dja Wurrung Country, where the land breathes stories, the stars whisper wisdom, and every moment is infused with meaning. This private four-bedroom estate offers more than a peaceful escape—it is a sacred site for healing, creativity, and purpose-driven reconnection.
Set on conservation-protected land surrounded by native bushland and culturally significant trees, La Moneta Retreat is a place where ancient Indigenous wisdom meets modern wellness. It’s no surprise that this very landscape was chosen as a hauntingly beautiful backdrop for the internationally acclaimed feature film “Godless: The East Field Exorcism”—a cinematic testament to the land’s mystical energy and raw, untouched beauty.

Featured Film Location
