7 Retreats Newly Listed

It’s inspiring to see 7 retreats newly listed on our website…

They’re all about taking care of you, with plenty of ‘Me Time’ included. Gourmet food and wine tasting seem to be a trend, we can’t complain about that (insert smiley face here).

There’s also a fair amount of adventure and spectacular scenery, from the Tasmania wilderness of Coles Bay and the Freycinet National Park, to the wind-swept coastlines of Bruny Island, to the Queensland Daintree Forest in the north and a walk through the oldest continuously surviving rainforest on the planet.

There are beautiful beaches all ‘round, we wouldn’t expect anything less, being set in Australia after all.

And there’s also the opportunity to find happiness, meaning and enrichment in your life.

Which to choose? These newly listed retreats don’t make it easy!
