Time to be
looked after.

Let the day revolve around you for a change.

Settle in for massage and bodywork chosen around what feels right for you: relaxation massage, focused head, neck and shoulder work, or Ayurvedic bodywork.

Coming on your own? Enjoy a full 90-minute massage and a separate 90-minute guided breathwork and relaxation session. That’s three hours of personal time, with the rest of your day left for the sauna, pool, spa and your own quiet space.

Sharing the day? Enjoy your 60-minute massages at the same time, followed by plenty of space to enjoy the day together. Your package also includes a 60-minute guided breathwork and relaxation session together.

Hosted personally by Deb and Ian. Your practitioner, approach and timing are agreed with you before your visit.

Make the day your own.

Pick the experiences that appeal to you. Sessions are provided by Deb or Ian, with Ayurveda consultations with Ian. We shape the timing and quote around your choices.

These are options for a customised day; additional sessions are not automatically included in a ready-made package.

What would you like in your day?

Custom days are individually quoted. Choose as little or as much as you like; this is an enquiry, not a booking.

A few practical details.

Where are your day retreats?

Our day retreats are in Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. They are designed for local guests and visitors who want a relaxation day without an overnight stay. Explore our Sunshine Coast location.

What is included in the price?

Your 5–6 hour day includes private apartment use, fresh juice on arrival, herbal detox tea, guided relaxation and breathwork (90 minutes for one, or 60 minutes together for two), a 90-minute massage for one person or a 60-minute massage each for two, hosted sauna, and shared pool and spa free time. The Ayurvedic day also includes a wellbeing consultation with Ian. Lunch is included when you choose that package option.

Can I come for the day without staying overnight?

Yes. Your apartment is available for the agreed day-retreat hours. This package does not include an overnight stay. If you would like to stay longer, ask about an overnight retreat separately.

Are the pool, spa and sauna private?

Your apartment and agreed sessions are private. The pool, spa, sauna and grounds are shared with other resort guests and residents, and are used during the property’s normal opening hours. A hosted sauna means preparation and an introduction; it does not mean exclusive use.

Can we choose different massages?

Yes. Each guest can request relaxation massage, a head, neck and shoulder focus, or Ayurvedic bodywork. For two-person packages, your 60-minute massages happen at the same time. We confirm each guest’s preferred approach and practitioner before booking.

What if I have dietary or accessibility needs?

Tell us what you need when you enquire. We confirm suitable lunch arrangements, access and any changes to the day before booking. If you are enquiring for someone under 18, please mention their age so we can discuss suitable arrangements.

Is the Ayurvedic day a medical treatment?

No. It is a relaxation and wellbeing day. Ian’s consultation explores food, rest and daily routines; it does not include medical diagnosis, treatment of illness or prescriptions.

How do I check dates?

Choose “Enquire about dates” on your package, add your preferred date or date range, and choose lunch included or without lunch. Deb or Ian replies personally within two business days. No payment is taken and no date is reserved by the enquiry.

Let us take care of the day.

Choose a package, tell us your dates, and we’ll help with the rest.
