Retreat Facilities
Mineral Salt and Magnesium Pool
Our plunge pool has natural mineral salts and magnesium which aids in overall health with no harsh chlorine. It’s therapeutic for all ages and is particularly good for skin conditions as well as relaxation and rejuvenation.
By swapping out most of the salt for a combination of salts and minerals the water takes on a new feel and condition by making the water softer and gentler on the skin, eyes and hair.
This also means after a swim all the sticky residue on the skin or that tangling feeling in the hair is gone.
Yoga Zen Shala
Our Onsite Studio overlooks our beautiful landscaped buddha garden and is fitted out with everything facilitators would need to host their own wellness retreat, including yoga mats, meditation pillows and blankets, yoga blocks and bolsters along with a beautiful array of Zea Essential oil blends for you to choose. We have a bluetooth music system for easy use from your phone or laptop and there are many crystals, oracle cards, single bowls and finger symbols to use at your leisure.
The studio is fitted out with ceiling fans as well as reverse cycle air conditioning and heating along with blockout blinds.

Ceremonial Fire Pit
In the Garden area they is a beautiful ceremonial fire pit with individual seating for up to 10 guests.
A sacred circle ceremony around a fire is a powerful ritual often used for setting intentions and also for releasing fears and shifting energy, thus allowing new intentions and beautiful energy to flow.
We also love to do a fire ceremony during the change of seasons (solstice, equinox), at the Full Moon, New Moon.
Retreat leaders may wish to will lead their group through a scared ceremony at the start of their retreat to set valuable and sacred intentions or perhaps as a finality at the end of the retreat as a celebration
