Retreats, nature & experiences in Swan Valley & East

Structured retreat packages in the Swan Valley, from single-day resets built around yoga, meditation and spa treatments through to multi-day residential programs. Day formats start at $395, the one-day yoga and meditation retreat runs at $525 with group rates, and longer packages extend to five days. Retreats run Monday to Friday, booked online.

Julie Baker and Emma McLarty run small-group wellness journeys from Perth, with their signature Rejuvenation Retreat held on an 1,800-acre property in the Chittering Valley surrounded by state forest above the Avon River. The long-weekend format pairs private cabins and all meals with guided bush walks and unhurried days built around rest. The pair also lead international journeys — Kerala, Bhutan, Japan among them — and arrange private group retreats.

A day spa and small overnight retreat in the Swan Valley with an unusually broad wellness menu: massage, facials, clay treatments, hydrotherapy and floatation therapy, plus The Oasis — sauna, ice bath and spa sessions. Day visitors are explicitly welcome, six days a week, with Oasis and float sessions running Sundays too. Three luxury rooms serve those who stay over.

Equine assisted learning and counselling on a Bullsbrook property, where the session happens outdoors alongside the horses rather than across a desk — the practice's own phrase is that the therapy room is outdoors. Sessions are groundwork rather than riding: no one gets on a horse. Grief and loss work runs alongside the general counselling.
