After wanting to go to a retreat for a long time but holding off every time for different reasons, I know now why I made the decision to go to Heartland Meadows as my first retreat ever. From the moment of arriving until the moment of leaving it was just pure love. Jenny and Dave are running a wonderful retreat centre where you will feel welcome as if it is your own home, they are so kind and loving and both have great characters.. The food they provide which is made with a smile in a warming calming environment with beautiful surroundings, everything just connected for me. I can’t recommend these guys and this place enough, I know I’ll be back. Much love guys!🙏

Heartland Meadows is an absolutely amazing place to be. Having Jenny there is like having a beautiful mum to greet you every morning and hold your hand every step of the way. Dave is just a gentle soul who’s presence just instantly calms you. I will forever remember my first time at Heartland Meadows and the beautiful souls I have met. I will definitely be back.

I’d forgotten who I was, how much joy there was in just being. Being present, being nourished, being heard, being seen, being LOVED. Jenny, Craig, Dave and all the wonderful souls that attended the April 2023 ‘Heart Essence of Wellness’ retreat reminded me of this. Such an amazing experience, the place and the people just radiate love and peacefulness. The accommodation was perfect, comfortable warm beds, fluffy towels and clean bathrooms. The food was amazing.. SO DELICIOUS! I haven’t swam in years, but I loved the warm magnesium pool, especially after a hot sweaty session in the infrared sauna. The property is amazing with beautiful gardens, perfect for watching the sun rise and quiet walks past the horses and the macadamia orchards and through the native bush. Dave and Jenny were amazing facilitators and I loved all of their workshops, every one I came a way with little gems of wisdom that I could apply to my life. I loved everything so much I am going back again this weekend.. not even a week later!! I definitely recommend you take the time to make yourself a priority and get to Heartland Meadows so you can find yourself too.. I’ll see you there!!

This is a tiny slice of heaven in sunny coast hinterland. The crew are incredible. Jenny and Dave and the whole team make any time spent there just magical. I witnessed miracles during my time there and will be returning as soon as I can get my kids looked after again. Jenny in particular did all she could to help me when I was in a place of pain and exhaustion. I’m beyond grateful for my time there. Food. Environment. Pool. View. Workshops. All of it is wonderful. Thank you Jenny. I’m so grateful.

Two of the kindest and open human beings you will ever meet, Jenny and Dave are just wonderful people who have a pure desire to help others. This retreat was life changing for me, a place to relax, do what’s right for my body and nourish my soul. Everyone needs to do this for themselves at least once a year!

Such a beautiful place to rest and recuperate after such turbulence in recent years. You’ll find your authentic self hidden under the layers and come home feeling ready to take on the world.

Do yourself the favour and visit this piece of paradise! This affordable retreat was the most amazing week that really kicked off 2023. Jenny & Dave are awesome hosts who look after absolutely everything you could possibly need. Healthy, nutritious and scrumptious food (all dietary types catered for) informative and fun workshops and lots of time for relaxation of your choosing. Make new friends, get amongst nature with bush walks, mini ponies and fresh air. Unplugging from the busy day to day life, creating and belonging to a community and learning skills that will carry you through life’s struggles. Rejuvenate your mind and body – you deserve it! Can’t wait to return again soon.

I can’t recommend Heartland Meadows enough. Nothing was too much trouble, the facilities were lovely, fresh and clean, all food dietary requirements were catered for(the food was Devine). The workshops covered a wide range of topics including breath work, sleep, gut health (food), yoga and art. In 2 days!!! Jenny is a wealth of knowledge and is always happy to share. While there is lots offered nothing is obligatory. I for one will be back soon.

From the first phone call to enquire about the weekend to the final hug goodbye by my beautiful hosts Jenny and Dave I felt seen, I felt heard, I felt acknowledged. This retreat was 100 percent more than what I expected. The food is fabulous. The bed comfortable. The workshops valuable. I am looking forward to returning.

I will continue to go back again & again. It fills your heart, mind, body & soul with pure love & joy. I can’t recommend a retreat at Heartland highly enough!

From the moment of first contact via a phone call, Jenny was beautiful. I knew Heartland Meadows would have plenty to offer me at a time I needed to rest and reset. It is such a beautiful serene and giving place. Having catered for my dairy free needs and beautiful vegetarian meals , a comfortable room of my own, so many peaceful areas and treasures of nature, kind people, workshops that supported so many aspects of self care , constant little surprises and the beautiful pets too. Jenny and Dave have really created an amazing tribe of people nestled in serene spot. It was a place of nourishing my mind body and soul. Thank You! I am really looking forward to my next visit.

If you’ve forgotten how to take a deep breath and exhale all your worries and stress I’d strongly suggest you treat yourself and visit the beautiful relaxed environment that is HEARTLAND MEADOWS RETREAT . You’ve earned it.

Heartland is an amazing place. A place to learn, make new friends,relax and refresh and heal. A place “just for me”. This was my third stay and once again I just didn’t want to leave.

I recently attended my first Heartland Meadows Retreat. I’d been grieving the loss of someone close to me and was struggling to face my grief. A dear friend rang and suggested I go to Heartland Meadows and of course the stars aligned and there was a cancellation and I arrived the next day. To say that this retreat is magical does not begin to describe this place! This was truly a life changing experience. My notebook was filled by the end of the week with gems of wisdom, reminders of things to look into once home, new practises to implement into my day and the names and numbers of the beautiful new friends that I had made. I’ve never felt so much at home as I did at Heartland Meadows. The week flew by; it was perfect in every way. The food was amazing, the company the best I’ve ever had and our hosts Jenny and Dave were the most loving people who had so much to offer and did a marvellous job of making everyone feel loved and special. Each of our journeys were valued and important. There were people who came for a holiday, people going through big things, people who wanted to honour themselves and do something special for them and people there to deepen their own spiritual practise. No matter anyone’s journey, we were all embraced and we all became a special group of friends by the end of the first day. When the last day came I was sad to leave the stillness and beauty of Heartland Meadows but I was also ready to face the busy world again. My heart was full and my soul well nourished. I was at peace and I have Jenny and Dave to thank for that. I can’t wait to visit again soon. Such a remarkable retreat, I encourage everyone to visit.
