Retreats & day escapes in Northern Suburbs — listings
The Centre for Attitudinal Healing's bush retreat an hour south-east of Perth, used by community groups, families and teams. Accommodation runs from a cottage to shared quarters for 23 or 46, with a hall for meetings and meditation, a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor meeting grove, a winter bonfire area and walking trails through the property. Published rates: cottage $500 a night, the 23-bed wing $1,600, the 46-bed wing $3,000, and hall hire $500 a day Monday to Thursday.
A rammed-earth retreat house in the timber town of Dwellingup, purpose-built in 2012 for small groups of up to eighteen: eight ensuite bedrooms, a large common room and kitchen, and the Bibbulmun Track at the boundary, under a kilometre from town. Yoga studios, art teachers and craft groups book the whole house for weekend retreats — myoga's Iyengar weekends and Art Outdoors' painting retreats among them — and self-cater or bring in local caterers.
Frieda runs yin and vinyasa classes in Claremont and Cottesloe and takes the practice into the bush: yoga hikes — 'yikes' — such as a four-kilometre walk at Bells Rapids followed by a slow-flow class and afternoon tea, and a hike to the Golden View lookout above Mundaring Weir, forty-five minutes east of the city. Longer retreats run in Balingup and overseas. Private one-to-one classes and corporate yoga and pilates round out the calendar.
Mandy Francisty runs day retreats around Perth and weekend retreats further afield — the next in Pemberton — built from slow-flow and restorative yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, breathwork, journaling and a vegan, gluten-free lunch, each day on a different theme. Based in Two Rocks, where there is venue hire, a sauna and ice bath and weekly yoga, she is a yoga and pilates teacher, breathwork practitioner, NLP and EFT therapist and personal trainer, and takes private bookings for hens, birthdays and teams.
Guided hikes from two hours to five days, most of them in the Perth Hills, Yanchep and on Rottnest, with longer trips to Denmark, Karijini and Esperance. The wellness-leaning walks — 'Wild & Well Perth', 'Zen in the Cave' — pair the trail with time to sit, and more than half of guests come alone. Day hikes are priced from free to $349, multi-day trips from $1,590; cancellation is free with 48 hours' notice, and one per cent of earnings goes to mental-health and land-restoration causes.
A seven-bedroom retreat house for up to twenty guests on five and a half acres of orchard near the Moore River estuary, fifty minutes north of the city. Groups take the whole property — two lounges, meditation spaces, a games room, fireplace — with an eight-metre air-conditioned yurt for yoga, meditation, breathwork and sound. Facilitators hire it for weekend retreats and the house hosts its own calendar of events; the downstairs layout is step-free.
A dedicated sound space on five acres of jarrah bush beside a nature reserve in Sawyers Valley, on the same property as Sawyers Valley Retreat. The public calendar runs sound sessions on the new and full moons, solstice gatherings, yoga, mantra and chant, storytelling evenings and slow-stitching workshops, and the temple takes private group bookings and retreats. Published event prices sit between $111 and $180.
A Perth women's community running retreats since 2012, best known for the Wild Woman Weekend — four days and three nights of ceremony, dance, workshops and singing in bushland at the foot of the Darling Scarp in Serpentine. Facilitators Tracy McFie and Larissa O'Neill have held the weekend for thirteen years. Fully catered with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options; $1,666 all-inclusive, alongside mentoring and smaller gatherings through the year.
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.

How retreats & day escapes is taught in Perth
Retreats near Perth divide by how long you stay and how much of the day someone else decides.
Day retreats run a single day, usually a Saturday, and combine a couple of sessions with a meal — the low-commitment end, and the one to start with. Residential retreats run a weekend or longer at properties in the Perth Hills, the Swan Valley and down south, with meals and a set timetable included. Silent retreats are their own proposition: several days without conversation, and phones handed in or left off at the door.
Practical realities. Popular weekends book months ahead, so a same-day booking is optimistic. Almost everything here is a driving trip, and the properties are rarely walkable to anything else. Check what’s included before comparing prices — accommodation, meals and sessions are bundled differently by nearly every venue, and single-room supplements are common.

Sound baths in the hills above Armadale — fortnightly Sunday sonic immersions plus sunset, full-moon and cacao-ceremony sessions, with mats, bolsters and blankets provided.
