Denmark’s already got plenty of big drawcards, but soon a proposed new cannabis health retreat (an Australian first) could attract even more visitors to the region.
Nestled between Green’s Pool and Willam Bay National Park, the family-owned Raintree Farm property is already a shining example of sustainable production and innovation—home to a CBD distillery (The Dam), CO2 reducing hemp-fed marron, wagyu and soon Denmark’s first whiskey distillery.
With the proposed new cannabis retreat, Raintree Farm will offer an eco-experience unlike anything else in Australia.
Medicinal marijuana treatments will be just one slice of the offering here, though, with educational farm tours, paddock-to-plate dining, e-biking, walking trails and a luxury day spa all on the cards.
Plus, some incredibly slick eco-accommodation options too that will allow guests to truly immerse themselves in nature.
Working with CBD Architect’s Lead Designer, Roberto Forgion, the proposed $5 million retreat will feature a reception, lodge, six two-bedroom chalets and six off-grid eco-huts, all underpinned by sustainable Scandi design principles and renewable energy practices.
Submissions for the proposed tourism rezone needed for the development to go ahead have now closed, but it’s looking pretty promising. The development was widely well-received across the board, with locals, Indigenous elders, environmentalists, politicians, national icons and more all showing their support.
A report has now been submitted to the Shire, including letters of support highlights from the likes of Tina Arena, Rebecca Stephens MP, Roger Cooke and more. If approved, Raintree Farm will be one step closer to bringing its trail-blazing vision to life.
