  • Whether it's a leisurely afternoon walking along the sand, admiring the intricate layers of cliffs that hug our coastline, or embarking on a hike deep into the rugged gorge, our retreats are filled with opportunities to connect with nature.

    Our team know all the best tips to help you see as much as you can of our diverse landscape.

  • With years of experience in the McLaren Vale wine region, we can't wait to share with you all of the incredible local producers that form our identity.

    Be it Shiraz, Grenache, Cabernet or Fiano, there are wines that will enchant you and world class dining to be paired with it at every corner turned.

  • View the region from the sky on a helicopter tour over the region, landing at your lunch destination. Go deeper on a snorkel trip to rapid bay, or a daytrip to Kangaroo Island. Take a behind the scenes tour at one of our local wineries, learning how they produce their world-class wines... or, stay in and cooking a meal with our locally sourced ingredients.

    At Rare Earth Retreats you will find an experience for everyone.

  • Unwind with the help of an in-house massage or facial, or a private yoga class by one of our local instructors.
