Guest Experiences
“Beautiful, tranquil place with an amazing vibe. Grounds and rooms are gorgeous and so clean. Lunar and Solar rooms hold yoga and meditation classes with so much natural light ... amazing for sunrise! The food is the best vegan food I have ever had, with so much choice and so much of it! A definite must-visit if your mind, body, and spirit are in need of replenishing, reviving, and relaxing.”
“There are no words to describe my experience… I did not know it would be life changing and healing at the same time. I did not know I'd meet beautiful and caring souls. I did not know I would be part of a wonderful community that would offer so much love and support and also allow me to grow. Heart & Soul Retreats is a place filled with love, laughter, and inspiring people!”
“I visited Heart & Soul Retreats, and it was a fantastic experience. The area is beautiful, surrounded by lush trees and singing birds. The food was definitely a highlight — all vegan, delicious, and fresh, made with lots of their home grown ingredients. I could easily go back just for the food! The staff were so lovely and helpful. The entire place was peaceful, you can hear the wind chimes gracefully relaxing your mind.”
“Beautiful location and amazing staff! Best vegan food I have had yet. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to returning soon.”
“I absolutely love Heart & Soul Retreats! Nestled into the Royal National Park, this place is an absolute treat. Having visited once for just one night, I knew I needed to come back and experience Heart & Soul for an entire weekend. A particular highlight for me was the sound healing and yoga class I attended on the Saturday, which prompted me to book in for a private sound healing session with Ry — an incredible experience I will never forget. The staff there were all so helpful and the food was delicious (actually taught me just how delicious vegan food can actually be!). I can't wait for my next stay!”
