At The Retreat Beach Houses, we believe that memorable holidays are created by more than just beautiful accommodation and a stunning location. They are shaped by genuine local knowledge, authentic hospitality, and the people who help guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.
That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the newest member of our team, Cassie, who has recently joined The Retreat as our Assistant Manager.
As a Peregian local and mum of two, Cassie brings with her not only a wealth of local knowledge but also a deep understanding of what families, couples, and holidaymakers are looking for when they visit our special corner of the Sunshine Coast.
You’ll find Cassie supporting Jess and Hamish a few days each week, helping ensure every guest enjoys the warm, personalised experience that The Retreat is known for.
A Local Through and Through
One of the things we love most about Cassie is her connection to the local community.
Having lived in the area for many years, she knows the hidden gems that make this part of the Sunshine Coast so special. Whether it’s the best local coffee spot, a quiet beach for a morning stroll, family-friendly activities, weekend markets, or the perfect place to watch the sunset, Cassie has plenty of insider tips to share.
For our guests, this means access to genuine local recommendations that help turn a great holiday into an unforgettable one.
As a mum, she also understands firsthand what families need when travelling. From practical advice about local playgrounds and kid-friendly dining options to suggestions for activities that keep both little ones and parents happy, Cassie brings a perspective that many of our family guests will instantly appreciate.
Supporting Local Matters
At The Retreat, supporting local people and businesses has always been at the heart of what we do.
We believe that when local communities thrive, everyone benefits — residents, businesses, visitors, and future generations alike.
Choosing to employ local team members like Cassie allows us to strengthen our connection to the community while ensuring our guests receive authentic recommendations and experiences. Local knowledge simply can’t be replicated by a guidebook.
Our commitment to the community extends beyond our team. We actively support local businesses, recommend locally owned cafes, restaurants and attractions, and work with local suppliers wherever possible. By doing so, we’re helping keep the unique character of Peregian Beach and the Sunshine Coast alive while contributing to the local economy.
Looking Ahead
As The Retreat continues to grow and welcome more visitors to our unique beachfront location, we’re committed to building a team that reflects our values of community, authenticity, and exceptional hospitality.
Cassie’s arrival is another exciting step in that journey.
We’re incredibly grateful to have her join us and know that both our guests and our team will benefit from her local knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the area.
If you’re staying with us soon, be sure to say hello. Whether you’re looking for local recommendations, family-friendly activities, or simply a friendly chat about life on the Sunshine Coast, Cassie will be more than happy to help.
Please join us in giving Cassie a very warm welcome to The Retreat family. We couldn’t be more excited to have her on board.
