Cedarvale Health and Lifestyle Retreat
About Cedarvale Health and Lifestyle Retreat
Cedarvale Health and Lifestyle Retreat offers a restorative wellness experience in Barrengarry, at the head of New South Wales’ scenic Kangaroo Valley. Set among 150 acres of temperate rainforest, the intimate retreat gives guests space to slow down, reconnect with nature and step away from the pressures of everyday life. Walking trails, waterfalls and native wildlife contribute to its peaceful Southern Highlands setting. The programme follows a whole-person wellness philosophy centred on nourishment, activity, rest and connection. Guests can receive personalised health and wellness coaching while participating in educational talks, exercise, cooking classes and natural therapies. The aim is not simply to provide a short break, but to help each guest develop practical habits and a realistic plan for healthier living at home. Daily life at Cedarvale combines structured support with ample time to unwind. Wholefood plant-based meals are prepared on site, while massage, hydrotherapy, relaxation treatments and individual counselling support physical and emotional renewal. Programmes may be helpful for people experiencing stress, burnout or weight-management challenges. Cedarvale has a warm, home-like atmosphere and accommodates a small number of men and women at a time. Private rooms with en suite bathrooms, a pool and spa, fitness facilities, outdoor sitting areas and forest trails create a comfortable environment for a short wellness reset. Cedarvale is a retreat rather than an inpatient rehabilitation or medical detoxification centre, so prospective guests with acute psychiatric or withdrawal needs should discuss appropriate care with a qualified healthcare provider.

Real experiences from people who've been there.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Cedarvale Health Retreat in Barrengarry, and it was nothing short of incredible. The peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by lush greenery, instantly helped me unwind. The personalised wellness programs, such as massage treatments, were exactly what I needed to recharge both physically and mentally. The staff was warm and attentive, making me feel truly cared for. The nourishing meals were delicious and full of fresh, local ingredients. Overall, Cedarvale offered a much-needed escape that left me feeling refreshed, centered, and more connected to myself. I can’t wait to return!
I stayed at Cedarvale for the 4 night program. The location and facilities were excellent! The setting was stunning - beautiful bushwalks and waterfalls on the property. The rooms were beautifully presented and comfy. Treatments were medically focused and performed with great care. The food was absolutely delicious and we all ate every crumb on our plates! The educational program and the medical consultations were invaluable. The knowledge I gained in 5 days has made me feel confident and motivated to improve my health. And what a fantastic friendly team who cared for us! We had the best time and will be forever grateful to the team for looking after us all so well! Thank you!!!
I really do not know where to begin with my journey of being at Cedarvale, from the moment of arrival I felt a sense of belonging, the staff lead by Silvia did not miss a beat in knowing what was required to assist every person who arrived and was there to help in whatever each person needed. The program provided was packed full of activities for , physical activity, mental health, cooking classes , health wellness, massage treatments and more. I have come away with the tools to enable me to foster into my future which I am incredibly grateful for. Thankyou to all the staff at Cedarvale I look forward to coming back next year for another recharge 🥰
