Highs & Lows
The setting. It would be hard to beat Gwinganna's outrageously beautiful Australian bushland surrounds, with ocean and valley views. Perfectly beautiful, quiet and calm.
The food. Healthy, wholesome and nutritious. Each and every meal is both interesting and delicious.
The spa. Stunning design and an incredible selection of treatments on offer. We recommend the Tribal Dreaming ritual.
Sunrise nature walks with John, resident botanist and social ecologist. An incredibly knowledgable, passionate and eccentric force on all things nature and mother earth.
The older accommodation, while completely fine, is a wee-bit dated. We recommend booking one of the newer villas.
Important Bits
- Type
Wellness destination.
- Vibe
City slicker types searching for a slower, healthier pace amongst spectacular Australian nature and wilderness.
- Location
Deep in the Australian bush - blissfully off the grid.
- Rooms
If budget allows, I would recommend the new Boorabee Villas, or the Moonarie Villas. Each offering specatacular ocean/valley views, your own private plunge pool, and use of your own golf buggy for the duration of your stay.

2006
- Designed By
Australian, Tony de Leede.
- Pool/Gym
Yes
- Restaurant
Yes...the S.L.O.W (Seasonal - Local - Organic - Whole) food in the restaurant here is definitely one of the highlights.
- Bar
Um, no. If you are lucky though, 100ml of organic wine might be served with dinner on the 2-day weekend retreat. Every other retreat is alcohol-free.
- Minibar
No
- Wifi
This is a device-free zone.
- Children
No. Lots of older mother/daughter combos though.
- Price
Not cheap, but worth it (your health is an investment, right?).
