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.
Shorter isn’t a lesser version.
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.
What each length makes room for.
A guide, not a fixed itinerary. Every retreat is planned with you.
Two nights — a weekend
A short break by the beach. Enough to stop, sleep, walk in the morning and have a treatment or a conversation. Best when you need a pause rather than a reset.
Three nights
The most common choice. Two full days in the middle, so the first day isn’t spent arriving and the last isn’t spent leaving. Room for more than one treatment or session.
Five nights
Long enough that the rhythm changes. Sleep settles, mornings slow down, and there is space for counselling or Ayurveda alongside rest rather than instead of it.
Seven nights — a full week
A proper stretch away. Time for a considered plan across the week, with treatments, conversations and coastal time spread out, and days that are genuinely your own.

Choosing a length.
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.
Can I come by myself?
Yes. Every retreat is private, for one person or one couple. Coming alone is common and the stay is planned around that.
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?
