Planning · Sunshine Coast
How long should you come for?
Two nights, three, five or seven — or another length if that suits you better. Every retreat is private and personalised, so the length changes how much room there is, not what kind of stay it is.
Stay longer, enjoy better value.
The longer you stay, the better the value — with more time to settle in, unwind and enjoy your retreat. Ask Deb and Ian to compare longer-stay options in your personalised quote.
There is no fixed programme to get through, so a shorter stay is not a compressed one. What changes with length is how much unhurried time there is between things — how many mornings you wake up without anywhere to be, and how much room there is for treatments, conversation and simply doing nothing.
If you are not sure, say so when you enquire. Deb and Ian will suggest a length based on what you are hoping for, and nothing is booked while you think about it.
Our signature stay · individually quoted
3-Night Private Reset by the Sea.
Three nights, with two full days to settle in. Your own beachside apartment, a plan shaped around you, and a personal welcome and check-ins with Deb and Ian.
Come on your own or as a couple. We’ll talk through the wellbeing experiences you’d like and confirm your inclusions and total price in a personalised quote.
Meals and optional extras are at additional cost, subject to availability. Two-night stays remain available if you have less time; five and seven nights give you more room to unwind.
What each length makes room for.
A guide, not a fixed itinerary. Every retreat is planned with you.
2 nights
A weekend
A pause rather than a reset. Enough to stop, sleep, walk in the morning and have a treatment or a conversation.
3 nights
Our signature three-night stay
Two full days in the middle, so the first day isn’t spent arriving and the last isn’t spent leaving.
5 nights
Long enough to change gear
Sleep settles and mornings slow down. Room for counselling or Ayurveda alongside rest rather than instead of it.
7 nights
A full week
Treatments, conversations and coastal time spread across the week, with days that are genuinely your own.
Another length in mind? Say so when you enquire — the planner has an option for it.
An example of the pace
What might three nights look like?
Three nights give you an arrival day, two full days and a departure morning. Deb and Ian help you shape the time around your chosen retreat and the experiences agreed in your plan.
Arrive and settle in
Meet Deb or Ian, settle into your private apartment and talk through your plan. There is room to find your bearings and enjoy the coast.
Two days with room around the sessions
Balance the counselling, bodywork, Ayurveda or other experiences agreed in your plan with time to rest, walk by the beach or enjoy your apartment. You don’t need to fill every part of the day.
A final morning
Leave space to pack and prepare for the journey home. If you would like a conversation about taking something from the retreat into everyday life, mention it to Deb and Ian.
An illustration, not a fixed timetable or list of inclusions. Your personalised quote confirms the apartment and experiences. Meals and optional extras are at additional cost, subject to availability.
Preparing for your retreat covers what to bring and how your plan comes together.
Choosing a length.
Can I book a three-day health retreat on the Sunshine Coast?
A two-night stay spans three calendar days, including arrival and departure. Our three-night stay gives you two full days in between. Tell Deb and Ian how much time you have, and they will help you choose. Explore the Private Personalised Beach Retreat.
How long can a personalised retreat be?
The planner offers two, three, five and seven nights, and you can ask for another length instead. Whatever you choose, the retreat is shaped around you rather than fitted to a fixed programme. How our retreats work.
Is a weekend retreat long enough?
For many people, yes. Two nights is enough to stop, sleep properly and have a treatment or a conversation. If you are hoping for a deeper reset, three or five nights gives more room.
Can I extend my stay?
An extra night is one of the optional extras, at additional cost and subject to availability. It is easiest to mention it while your retreat plan is being put together.
Do longer retreats include more?
They include more time, and usually more treatments or sessions, because there is room for them. What is included is agreed with you when your plan is written, not set by a package.
Which retreat pathway suits the length I want?
Any of them. The Private Personalised Beach Retreat, the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat and the Holistic & Alternative Retreat all run at any of these lengths.
Not sure how long you need?
