With decking offering stunning views up and down the beautiful Buckland Valley, you will happily take a seat in the morning while you take in the view soaring over the billabong & towards Mt Buffalo.

In your down time you can take a stroll to visit the sheep, alpaca, and horses, or wander through the property to the Buckland River.

Full Refund: If you need to cancel your participation in the retreat, you can do so without any financial penalty 60+ days before the start date of the retreat. You will receive a full refund of any fees paid.
 
Partial Refund: Cancellations made within 15-59 days of the retreat's start date are eligible for 50% of your payment to be transferred to a future retreat, and 50% payment will be forfeited.
