Pete Evans gives up his wellness retreat

Former My Kitchen Rules chef Pete Evans and his wellness advocate wife Nicola Evans are selling their Northern Rivers wellness retreat. 

The couple have been renovating the property - located 66km northwest of Byron Bay - since 2020, after initially purchasing the Byrrill Creek rainforest property for $1m. 

The seven newly renovated cabins now run as a space for Evans' cooking retreat, Evolve Sanctuary, which costs $1650-a-weekend. 

"Our weekend cooking retreats offer our guests to learn the fundamentals of a paleo and keto lifestyle,” the Evolve Sanctuary website reads. 

Recent events at the sanctuary include fasting retreats with Pete in a five-day juice, water and broth fast, costing $2250 per person.

In addition to cooking courses, it also offers ice baths, red light treatment, a float tank and an infra-red sauna. 

JET Real Estate agents Tania Sheppard and Elizabeth Hickey have listed the 7.9ha property as  “a leader in wellness tourism with a strong cashflow”. 

The vendors are offering a leaseback, as this is the first property for sale in Byrrill Creek in the last 12 months. 

This comes after Evans and Robinson sold their longtime 10ha Tweed Shire hinterland property in 2021 for $3.15m. 

They also previously sold two Malabar homes for a combined $6m when they were heading north.
