Kangaroo Valley
Perched in the Southern Highlands overlooking Kangaroo Valley, surrounded by forest, waterfalls and wildlife. Roughly two hours from Sydney and Canberra.

Two health and lifestyle retreats in New South Wales and Victoria — set in rainforest, built around rest, real food and evidence-based lifestyle medicine.
Established in 1990 and run as a not-for-profit charity ever since.

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.
Unhurried days, quiet rooms and no schedule to keep up with. Most guests sleep better within the first three nights.
Whole-food plant-based meals prepared fresh on site, with recipes and cooking sessions so it travels back with you.
Both sites run the same programs. Choose whichever you can reach most easily.

Tucked into the tall forests of Narbethong in the Yarra Ranges, an easy drive from Melbourne through some of the state's best mountain country.

Every guest is different, so every program is shaped around where you are now. These are the areas our team works with most.
Kangaroo Valley or the Yarra Ranges — whichever you can get to most easily.
A short conversation about your health, your goals and what you want from the time.
Meals, treatments, consults and activities planned around you before you arrive.
Everything is taken care of from the moment you pull in. All you do is turn up.
“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.”
