Wild, wonderful and restorative: wellness stays in nature

For a wildlife experience with a touch of wonder, Glamping with Koalas offers a memorable opportunity to connect with Australia’s native wildlife.

Set within the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary in NSW, this immersive experience brings you closer to the natural environment, with the chance to observe koalas and appreciate the importance of protecting the wildlife we share this earth with.

There’s something restorative about pausing to notice the small things: the movement of leaves in the breeze, the sounds of the bush and the quiet presence of wildlife. These moments can offer a welcome break from our busy, screen-filled lives.

Combining the adventure of an outdoor stay with the comfort of glamping, it’s an experience that invites you to unplug, embrace your curiosity and rediscover the simple pleasure of being outdoors.

The wellness feeling: Connect and Unplug.

Sometimes, restoration is simply about having room to move, explore and let your mind wander. Set within an expansive estate on the NSW South Coast, Willinga Park offers a beautiful setting for a wellness getaway, with your very own luxury Pavilion.

Spend time exploring the grounds, discovering the landscape and striking sculptures, or head out for a walk and immerse yourself in the outdoors. When it’s time to recharge, take a dip in the heated pool or book an indulgent wellness treatment with a local practitioner.

The appeal lies in the balance between gentle activity and restorative downtime. Fill your days with movement and exploration or set your own rhythm, with time to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

For those who find their sense of wellbeing through nature, movement and a little indulgence, Willinga Park offers an opportunity to step back from everyday demands and enjoy the freedom to set your own pace.

The wellness feeling: Breathe and Move.

For a country getaway, Acre of Roses invites you to embrace the beauty of nature. Surrounded by gardens and the romance of the Victorian countryside, this is the kind of stay that encourages you to savour the moment rather than rush towards the next activity.

Imagine wandering among the roses, enjoying the changing colours and fragrances of the garden, or settling into a quiet corner with a good book. Simple rituals become the highlight: a leisurely morning, time outdoors, a long soak or an evening spent unwinding after a day in the fresh air.

Nature has a way of bringing our attention back to the present. There’s no need to achieve anything or be anywhere in particular; instead, create space for rest, enjoy the sensory pleasures of your surroundings and feel restored by the end of your stay.

For anyone craving a little breathing room and a beautiful setting in which to switch off, Acre of Roses offers a restorative country escape.

The wellness feeling: Pamper and Nourish.

Wellness doesn’t always have to involve a structured programme or a long list of activities. Sometimes, it begins with a change of scenery, a little fresh air and the freedom to spend time in a way that feels right for you.

Whether you’re drawn to the wonder of wildlife, the freedom of wide-open spaces or the quiet pleasure of a garden escape, these nature-inspired stays offer different ways to step away from the everyday and return feeling refreshed.

Because sometimes, the most meaningful reset is simply making time to be outdoors.
