Second Retreat - July 2026
I cannot recommend Heartland Meadows
enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, seen, and deeply
cared for.
Jenny is an absolutely brilliant facilitator. What
stood out most was her incredible flexibility and attentiveness.
When our group wanted to explore new topics or even learn about the
musical instruments used in sound healing with very little notice,
Jenny didn’t hesitate, she indulged our curiosity and adapted the
program instantly to ensure we got the most out of our time.
On
a personal level, I have some specific health and accessibility
issues, and Jenny’s support was nothing short of amazing. She looked
after me with such warmth and vigilance, ensuring I was comfortable
and included in everything without me ever having to ask twice. It’s
rare to find a host who balances professional facilitation with such
genuine, motherly care (in the best way possible).
The space is
profound, the fire circle was cathartic, and the atmosphere was pure
magic. If you are looking for a retreat where you are treated as an
individual and not just a number, this is it. Thank you, Jenny and
Dave, for the weekend I truly needed.

lifetime.

I recently stayed at Heartland Meadows Retreat - focusing on Gut Health and had a really lovely experience. Jenny and her husband Dave are genuinely warm and welcoming people, and I felt comfortable from the moment I arrived. Jenny has a great way of teaching gut health - she makes it easy to understand and even adds a bit of fun to it, which made everything feel really approachable rather than overwhelming. The accommodation is modest, very clean, comfortable, and well cared for. It suited the experience perfectly - more about slowing down, resetting, and connecting with like-minded people, which ended up being a really special part of the stay. The food was tasty and surprisingly filling. I'll admit I went in a little worried I might be hungry but that definitely wasn't the case. The surroundings are peaceful, and if you think it might be too quiet, you'll quickly realise how much life and "noise" nature actually brings :)I felt the retreat was well priced for what was offered. The only thing I would have loved is an extra night - it went too quickly! Lol I'm already counting down the days and look forward to going back and earning my badge as a "repeat offender"

Thank-you Jenny, David, Marian, and all the participant guests at the Quantum Connections retreat. It was a fabulous workshop! I left feeling so happy and content… well balanced, and full of energy. I still feel the effects of all the positivity, the learnings, the love of you all xo I’m moving forward with plans with a renewed zest for life. I can’t thank you enough. The experience at Heartlands Meadows is magical, our rooms were well provisioned and very comfortable; the food was incredible; and to enjoy the pleasure of everyone’s company was a wonderful feeling I’ll never forget. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! :-)

An uplifting experience, shared with an amazing group of women. Jenny and Dave I thank you for the beautiful food, the time and energy you both put into making your guests feel so welcome and sharing your piece of paradise with our group. Loved it 😊 This was my 4th retreat "A Heroes Journey" facilitated by the lovely Wendy House. If you're thinking of attending one of these beautiful retreats you will not be disappointed. Much love xxx

I am grateful to have had a transforming experience at Heartland Meadows. I participated in an art therapy workshop titled ‘A Hero’s Journey’ and my outlook to the challenges I am facing has completely changed. I am finding my joy and creativity again. Jenny was an amazing, caring, wise and insightful host. The food was healthy and yummy and I’m sure the nourishment enhanced my wellness and contributed to the extra spring I have in my step. Thank-you Dave. While the facilities were not luxurious they were spotlessly clean and the property was serine. I am not looking for luxury when I go away like this. I’m looking for a humble space at an affordable price that provides the opportunity to connect with nature. I am also looking for a place that helps me to reconnect with my joy. Heartland Meadows delivered this and more. My husband wants me to go to Heartland more regularly. He feels like he has his wife back.

Amazing 6 day retreat. All the little things that make a difference like our names on our door when we arrive and special care with our likes and dislikes. Jenny's energy and positivity along with her professionalism and caring nature as well as her team of workers, made the whole experience something to cherish. I will be going back.

I had the most wonderful stay at Jenny’s beautiful farmhouse! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the peacefulness, cleanliness, and charm of the property. The surroundings were absolutely breathtaking, offering a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Jenny was a fantastic host warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. Her hospitality made my stay even more special. The farmhouse itself was cozy, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable night. Waking up to such tranquility was truly refreshing. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Thank you, Jenny, for your kindness and for sharing your little piece of paradise. I hope to visit again soon!

Wow. What can I say. Jenny and Dave provide a holistic experience. Jenny you with your wealth of experiences, knowledge and insight. Jenny you also create a amazing welcoming and healing environment for guests to nurture and heal themselves. While Dave works tirelessly in the background providing healthy, nourishing yummy meals that satisfy the soul and the body. When you are to a retreat at Heartland Meadows magic can and does happen. Well done guys.

My personal journey brought me to Heartlands to stay with Jenny and Dave as a broken soul. Together they have brought me inner wisdom, guidance and an abundance of support that was unwavering. I will be forever grateful for being nourished with wholesome food and supplements, tools to move forward in life and knowing that a piece of Heartland will stay with me. Thankyou both with all my heart. X

I highly recommend Heartland Meadows Retreat. In fact I couldn't recommend it highly enough. I have been on two retreats now that were one week long and I can't wait to get back there. Jenny does an amazing job of delivering her workshops in a very intelligent and holistic way. It is an educational experience in a relaxing and non judgemental environment. You definitely feel the love at this place and there are plenty of laughs along the way too. Jenny's husband, Dave, does such a great job doing all the behind the scenes work and together they create this amazing and beautiful experience. I am so thankful that a friend of mine recommended Heartland Meadows to me. Hugs and kisses to you both Jenny and Dave!!! Thank you! X.

Heartland Meadows is an incredible healing space. I've attended 3 times and each experience has had enormous impact on my well-being being both mind & body. The costs are unbelievable for what Jenny & Dave offer. The food is divine not to mention the infra-red sauna and magnesium pool. You certainly won't be disappointed once you've attended you'll want to keep going back.

I recently stayed at Heartland Meadows. Enjoyed the perfect retreat for my health, spiritual physical and mental wellness. I shared a magical 6d ays with 12 beautiful women whom we all keep in touch. The food was nourishing, the daily programme most enjoyable to appeal to all ages, shapes and sizes. Jenny and Dave have created utopia that balance growth and wellness. I highly recommend Heartland Meadows.

Stayed for a week at Heartlands Retreat....what an amazing place Jenny and Dave were wonderful hosts that made each and every one of us feel special. The food was amazing and the program so interesting and very enjoyable and enriching. I went there quite lost in my busy world and left more grounded and nourished in my body mind and soul. Thankyou Jenny, Dave and your lovely family.

Heartland Meadows is the most special place, I have attended two retreats here and felt so safe, supported and nurtured. The location and physical facilities are paradise but the real gems are Jenny & Dave. The thought and care that is put into each retreat and everything on offer is beyond what you could expect. The food is wholesome and delicious and the workshops are educational and completely soul nourishing. If you’re in need of some self care, time to focus on your health and well being, then look no further.

I attended a weekend retreat and I definitely found it Relaxing, Reviving and Rejuvenating. It was exactly what I needed. Jenny creates a wonderful environment of calm and acceptance. The location is stunning from the night sky to the sunrises. The workshops I attended provided me with new tools as well as instruction I understand to be able to put them into place with no pressure or judgement. In addition, the food is amazing (Dave really knows what he is doing in the kitchen). Dave was nice enough to demonstrate how to make the best gluten free bread I have ever eaten. Also the pool, sauna and sound bed were brilliant.

What a weekend met great people and run by very supportive and helpful owners
Gabby
(15/06/24)
I stayed at Heartland meadows for a much needed break. I met wonderful people, ate healthy food that was so thoughtfully prepared, learnt SO MUCH (and we now share more via WhatsApp useful things like recipes, suppliers of healthy products etc), made friends and laughed so hard like I haven't in 20 years. I reckon it took 20 years off my life! Heartland Meadows is a laid back spiritual place where you can sit in the sauna, dunk in the pool, meditate amongst the nut trees, create art in the art shed, attend workshops and go for walks (amongst other things). Jenny & Dave do a great job, I really do recommend it.
Penny

When I recently went to Heartland Meadows Retreat I had such an amazing week it reset me I’m feeling energised, happier and healthier. I would highly recommend Heartland Meadows.
Amanda
(15/04/24)
Heartland Meadows is THE place to go to find yourself again. I went there thinking my journey was going in one direction, only to be taken in a completely different one! Jenny and Dave are absolutely amazing! And Craig's healing abilities are on another level! I was able to ease out of my 'fight or flight' that had me entangled in a life of tension and unease for over three years! And I didn't even know I was in it! I was able to journey at my own pace, experience opportunities that could only be experienced in a place of pure trust, unconditional love, and complete self acceptance. And this was all possible because of the combination of how the retreat was run, the welcoming nature of its energies and the energies of the attendees, and the opertunities of the workshops and extra services available. The food was absolutely a main attraction too! It was like eating love with every bite! I could not fault anything! I have a greater sense of self, a toolbox of coping mechanisms and self observation techniques, and (most importantly) a sense of hope. I WANT to live now. I want to share in joy and experiences, and I want to connect. A vast difference to the person who made the 2 hour journey on day one. Thank you all for everything you have provided me. Amazing opportunity. Much love

I went to the retreat run by Jenny and Dave again in January this year and I was able to consolidate learning from last year and to make real changes to the way I think about my self and my life. I cannot recommend Heartland Meadows Retreat highly enough. Jenny is so caring and considerate before, during and after I spend time there.
Kris
(15/01/24)
Heartland Meadows Retreat was amazing! The property is gorgeous, it feels totally relaxing and calming. Jenny has such an amazing program planned out for the weekend and you get to meditate, relax to sound baths, do art, and learn new things about yourself. While all this is going on, Dave is in the kitchen preparing the most amazing vegetarian meals you'll taste. It's the perfect weekend away.

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.

(Google Review 2023)
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!

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.
Lynda
(Facebook Review 2023)
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.

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.

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.
Kristy
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.
