Retreat one · Rest and restore
Private Personalised Beach Retreat.
A quiet, relaxing getaway by the beach on the Sunshine Coast: one-on-one time to slow down, breathe and reconnect, shaped around you.
More purposeful than a holiday. More personal than a resort.
A private beachside stay with restorative bodywork, time on the coast, the sauna and personal support from Deb and Ian, and far less structure than a traditional retreat timetable.
It suits anyone who wants to get away, rest and be looked after, with some wellbeing support and plenty of freedom: sleep in, walk the beach, swim, read on the balcony, or do nothing at all.
Counselling can be part of your plan if it would help. If talking things through is the main reason you’re coming, the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat puts it at the centre.
What your plan can include.
A carefully balanced mix of restorative bodywork, coastal experiences, sauna, personal support and plenty of unstructured time to slow down.
- Your own private apartment in beachside resort accommodation
- A personalised retreat plan, created by Deb or Ian
- Restorative massage and non-invasive bodywork with Deb or Ian
- Guided coastal and nature experiences
- A hosted sauna setup in the shared sauna
- A personal welcome, check-ins and support through your stay
- Plenty of free time to rest and recharge
- Optional main meals from local providers (additional cost, subject to availability), or self-catering
What’s included for your length of stay is set out in your retreat plan, with the price, before you book. Yoga, Pilates, personal training and beauty treatments are optional extras.
Two nights, or seven.
Longer stays allow more time for restorative treatments and experiences, and a deeper sense of reset, without filling your days.
- 2 nightsA short, restorative reset: bodywork, time on the coast and the sauna.
- 3 nightsRoom to settle in, with personal support woven through your stay.
- 5 nightsMore bodywork and restorative experiences, and a deeper sense of space.
- 7 nightsA full week to rest deeply, with the most time for treatments and the coast.

Where you’ll stay
Your own apartment, the beach across the road.
The privacy of a luxuriously comfortable apartment, with everything you need for an easy, unhurried stay: air conditioning, a full kitchen, your own washing machine and dryer, and a balcony or courtyard. Choose a comfortable or a more luxurious apartment, with shared pools, gardens and sauna.
Supported, never overscheduled.
A few things are placed through your stay, such as bodywork, time on the coast and the sauna, with the rest left open: sleep in, walk the beach, swim, read on the balcony, or do nothing at all. What a stay can feel like.
Food
Nourishing meals, or your own kitchen.
For wellbeing retreats, arranged meals are optional at additional cost, subject to availability. Mental health and addiction supported stays include catering as standard; an uncatered option can be discussed.
Choose main meals prepared by local food providers, tailored around your preferences, dietary needs and retreat choices, or self-cater in your apartment’s full kitchen. The cooking is done by local providers Deb and Ian know and trust.
Optional extras
Add something extra, if you’d like.
Once your retreat plan is created, you can add private yoga (including restorative or Yin), Pilates, personal training, beauty and spa treatments, extra massage, counselling or Ayurveda, a sunrise or sunset experience, airport transfers or a celebration. These are paid extras rather than part of the retreat: each has an additional cost, subject to availability, and is confirmed with its price. There is no salon or gym at the resort.
A few things you may be wondering.
Can I come on a solo retreat?
Yes. Every stay is planned for one person or one couple, with your own private apartment. A solo retreat gives you time at your own pace, with personal hosting and the experiences agreed in your plan. Compare two, three, five and seven nights.
Can I choose a more luxurious apartment?
Yes, you can ask about the more luxurious apartment options when planning your retreat. Most photographs show premium apartments, which are quoted individually and depend on availability. Your quote confirms the apartment and total price. Explore the accommodation.
Do I choose my treatments in advance?
No. Tell us what interests you when you enquire. Deb or Ian then recommend a plan, and you can ask for changes before anything is booked. If you only want one appointment rather than a stay, massage and bodywork can be arranged on its own.
Is counselling included?
It can be part of your plan if it would help. If counselling is the main reason you’re coming, the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat is designed around it.
Is yoga included?
No. Private yoga, Pilates, personal training and beauty treatments are optional extras you can add once your plan is created.
Will my days be scheduled?
Only lightly. A few things are placed through your stay, with plenty of time left for the beach, the pool, the sauna, reading and rest.
What does it cost?
Your stay is quoted personally after we discuss your needs and check availability. Your private apartment, agreed wellbeing experiences and personal hosting are set out in your retreat plan before you decide. For wellbeing retreats, meals are optional at additional cost. Mental health and addiction supported stays include catering as standard, with a lower-cost uncatered option available. Optional extras are at additional cost, subject to availability. Your quote confirms the apartment, inclusions and total before booking.
