The retreat

As soon as you step foot into this private and peaceful oasis you will feel enveloped in the rich sensory experience that is this amazing property. While all Whole Hearted Medicine retreats focus heavily on guiding you towards mindful and sustainable self care in the busy world of medicine, this particular retreat does this with an emphasis on providing you a gateway to stillness that feels far removed from the rest of the world.

Educational talks are held outside on the rolling green lawns where possible with a hidden boardwalk and secluded paths down to spectacular Gardners Falls, you have no shortage of beautiful outdoor spaces in which to settle in. Luxurious massages, peaceful meditation classes and, tantalizing asian inspired meals in the stunning Sala room overlooking the tree tops are also all included in the timetable to help you to slow down and tune into what your body and mind need.

The location

Nestled in the cool, leafy mountains of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Spicers Tamarind Retreat is a welcome sanctuary of relaxation and reinvigoration. A soothing Asian ambiance permeates throughout the stunning grounds, beautiful rooms and main guest house, whilst an imaginative restaurant forms the centrepiece of this magnificent retreat.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by cool garden ponds, trickling fountains, wooden boardwalks and drooping palms that encircle the guest lounge pavilion and dining areas. Colourful lilies as a burst of colour, comfortable wicker chairs provide a place to enjoy a refreshment, while inviting walkways peel off into the rainforest, tempting you to savour a quiet moment surrounded by nature.

The secluded 22 rooms spread across 14 private villas are your own personal oasis: here you’ll be immersed in endless luxuries that provide the perfect antidote to busy lives. Throughout you’ll find luxury linens, deep garden view bathtubs, sun drenched day beds and open fireplaces, whilst in the two person Falls Villas, you’ll also discover Japanese style cedar hot tubs.
