A Retreat Sanctuary in the Heart of the Bush
THE VENUE
Your environment alters how you feel. With its sense of profound peace and surrounded by nature – vast hinterland skies threaded with colour; the setting sun cast in the flicker of firelight – this exquisite 100-acre estate promises a rich sense of calm and renewal, while promising to spark a sense of inner vibrancy.
The Retreat Space
Your Retreat takes place in an elegant, light-filled lodge designed for comfort. Between sessions, you can unwind in the pool, spa, or sauna, savour chef-prepared meals, or simply sit quietly with a cup of tea and the sweeping valley views. Surrounded by bushland and birdsong, this retreat invites you to slow down, restore your energy, and deepen your practice—leaving you feeling lighter, more connected, and renewed by the healing power of this extraordinary place.
The Lodge
This spacious haven features eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with luxurious king-sized beds that can be converted into two singles. Every room includes its own bathroom or en-suite, ensuring comfort and convenience for all guests.
This is our sanctuary and where we all come together. The house adapts to the seasons: from cosy nights lit up by the indoor wood fire to warm days lounging poolside or spa, deck views across to Mt Yengo, an outdoor dining area and a fire pit, it is designed to indulge your every sense.
The Cottage
The cottage has two ensuite bedrooms and a private outdoor spa tub, making it a lovely option for two or three friends sharing. Those staying in the cottage have access to the main lodge amenities.
The Wellness Space
pool, sauna & plunge spa
YOUR VITALITY TEAM
MEET YOUR HOST, PAOLA
Vitality is an inner effervescence — a spark that comes alive when we move with curiosity and purpose. We can nurture this sense of aliveness by exploring how we move, what challenges us, what brings positive change, and how we draw on our own inner resourcefulness. Movement can challenge, nurture, and regulate us — and most importantly, it can bring us joy.
I blend humour, playfulness, and mindful focus to create a cohesive movement experience that supports both body and spirit.
So, I feel well placed to help others achieve this holistic recognition in a nurturing space that allows you to tap back into your energy source. Immersing yourself in a retreat is the ultimate opportunity to shed old habits and create powerful new ones.
Join me on this unique retreat dedicated to movement and wellness.
SPECIAL GUEST ARTIST, RACHEL (Cellist)
Rachel Pogson is a cellist who will join us as our special guest artist for a Slow Flow & Yin session. Rachel will play live cello throughout the experience, with her music accompanying the gentle movement and restful Yin-inspired poses.
Paola and Rachel have been collaborating for many years and are excited to finally offer this unique experience at this retreat.
