Food
Slow mornings at your own table.
Nourishing main meals arranged for you, or your own full kitchen.
Meals, taken care of.
Main meals can be part of your retreat: prepared by local food providers and coordinated around your stay, with your dietary needs in mind. Deb and Ian don’t cook the meals themselves.
If you’d rather look after yourself, every apartment has a full kitchen. Cook for yourself, wander to Cotton Tree’s cafés, or bring something back to eat on the balcony.
Self-catering
A table of your own.
Use the apartment’s full kitchen and dishwasher, shop locally, and eat when you like.
Meals arranged
A little less to organise.
Main meals prepared by local food providers and coordinated around your stay: for example, from dinner on arrival to breakfast on departure.
How meals are arranged.
The exact meals and timings are set out in your retreat plan.
Tell us what suits you
Dietary needs and preferences, and how many main meals you’d like arranged.
Arranged locally
Local food providers prepare the meals. Delivery or collection, storage and reheating are agreed with the provider.
Eat in your own rhythm
Meals are arranged around your stay, so you can eat when it suits you.
Plant-focused and Ayurvedic-inspired food.
Ordinary meals, plant-focused food and Ayurvedic-inspired eating can all be part of your meal plans. On the Holistic & Alternative Retreat, food goes further: rather than a fixed retreat menu, it can be personalised around your Ayurvedic constitution, wellbeing goals, dietary needs and the foods you genuinely enjoy.
A few things you may be wondering.
Can dietary preferences be considered?
Yes. Tell us your preferences and any allergies, and they are confirmed with the food provider before your stay.
Can I change my food preference?
Yes: in the planner before you send your enquiry, and again when we talk, before your retreat plan is confirmed.
Are meals included?
If you choose them. Arranged main meals are part of your retreat plan and its price; you can choose self-catering instead.
Ready when you are.
