The Retreat
Gaia Retreat & Spa sits on a hilltop at Brooklet in the Byron Bay hinterland — 25 acres of gardens, day spa and award-winning lodge accommodation, co-founded in 2005 by Olivia Newton-John as her personal sanctuary. It has since become one of Australia’s most decorated wellness retreats, and the arrival experience matters: guests come to decompress, and the transfer is the first quiet hour of the stay.
Our drivers know the Fernleigh Road entrance, coordinate with reception on arrival times, and run the hinterland route gently — no rush, no meter, one fixed price locked before you fly.

Gaia Retreat to Gold Coast Airport (OOL)
The run to Gold Coast Airport is about 85 km — down through Bangalow, onto the M1 past Byron and the Tweed, over the border into the terminal at Bilinga, usually 1h 15–25min. A fixed $220 sedan or $310 Kia Carnival, GST included, locked at booking. For departures the driver collects you at reception with time allowed for the hinterland roads and the airport’s check-in buffer.
Arriving Guests
Airport pickups are $235 sedan or $330 Kia Carnival — a little above the drop-off because collecting at OOL includes the airport access fee and arrivals-hall meet and greet. Your driver monitors the incoming flight, meets you inside the terminal with a name sign and travels on your landing time, not the schedule — no charge for waiting. Gold Coast Airport is in Queensland, so every airport run crosses the border, which is exactly what our Northern NSW coverage is built for.

Vehicles, Luggage and Groups
The sedan carries 1–3 passengers with standard luggage; the 7-seat Kia Carnival takes families and groups with a full luggage load. Larger parties travel as a Carnival + RAV4 (up to 10) or two Carnivals (up to 14), with the 12-seater Transporter for 8–11 — group vehicles are quoted on request on 0416 131 285.

Child seats
Australian-Standards rear-facing seats, forward-facing seats and boosters are provided and fitted at $35 per seat.
