About this place
High on a plateau in the Tallebudgera Valley of Queensland's Gold Coast Hinterland, Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat overlooks the Pacific Ocean and surrounding Scenic Rim mountains across more than two hundred acres of protected bushland. Holding Advanced Ecotourism certification from Ecotourism Australia, Gwinganna is a place for guided stays with meals, movement, time outdoors and spa treatments.
At the heart of the property sits the Sanctuary Spa, a timber building with indoor-outdoor treatment suites among the eucalyptus trees. Guests can book botanical facials, lymphatic drainage, crystal sound healing, equine therapy, and restorative massage using certified organic, Australian-made skincare free from synthetic fragrances and petrochemicals.
Gwinganna's organic gardens supply its sugar-, dairy-, gluten-, and caffeine-free dining tables and the property also describes work to protect native koala habitat. Stays run from two nights to a week, with time for rest and mindfulness sessions led by Australian practitioners. Ask about the current timetable if you prefer more free time between activities.
