Reconnect with yourself as you learn the art of physical and mental wellness through the healing wonders of mother nature on this retreat in the Shoalhaven. Seek out tranquilly with various experiences, day tours, and time to relax.

Or you can walk along sandy beaches and discover a local island that only appears at low tide. Recognised as one of Australia’s best health retreats, you will get the opportunity to learn about slow-living and completely focus your mind.
