OUR YARRA VALLEY RETREAT VENUE
Cheeky Fox Retreat sits on 50 private acres with spectacular views over the Ranges. There are 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a yoga and meditation space, private cinema, solar-heated pool, lush grounds, and plenty of private bush tracks for you to explore.
We’ve been lucky enough to retreat here many times and we LOVE IT so much that we keep coming back.
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING TO YOUR RETREAT?
You will get a full itinerary nearer the time but to give you an idea, here is a list of pretty much the only things you should pack:
- Please BYO Yoga Mat
- Water bottle
- Warm comfortable yoga or active gear
- Walking shoes and slippers
- Layered clothing, as comfortable or fancy as you like
- Toiletries
TRAVELING SOLO?
We love solo travellers!
Most retreats have a 50/50 mix of solo guests and friends who travel together. If you are joining alone we will pair you up with another female solo guests to share a twin room. We will also introduce you to each other prior to the retreat so you can get to know each other a little better beforehand.
From the moment you walk in we’ll make you feel at home. We’ll promise friendly faces and easygoing conversations.
Also, we don’t do ‘opening circles’ and we prefer it if our guests get to know each other organically – over a cuppa or glass of bubbles.
