About Cedarvale

Not just a break — a reset that stays with you

Rainforest and waterfall in the valley below the retreat

Established in 1990, Cedarvale operates two retreats within reach of Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. Our programs combine rest, whole-food nutrition, movement, hydrotherapy and time in nature — the simple things, done properly, for long enough to matter.

Rest that actually restores

Unhurried days, quiet rooms and no schedule to keep up with. Most guests sleep better within the first three nights.

Food you'll want to go home with

Whole-food plant-based meals prepared fresh on site, with recipes and cooking sessions so it travels back with you.

Our retreats

Two places to land

Both sites run the same programs. Choose whichever you can reach most easily.

Guest story
I came to Cedarvale a bundle of stress and left on cloud nine. The location amongst the forest and waterfalls is so beautiful, and the food is outstanding.
