10. Three-day wellness glamping retreat in Margaret River

Three days in Margaret River with yoga, meditation, local produce, and tastings in a glamping setup.

“If you seek a joyful adventure led by an excellent guide, driver, and breakfast chef, combined with daily yoga and visits to Margaret River wineries, this is the perfect choice. I really enjoyed yoga paddle boarding and hiking at Cape with the amazing Dan; it felt truly magical. Daily yoga sessions in the Fair Harvest barn by a cozy fire were delightful, and the food was fantastic—healthy and nourishing. While I liked the Fair Harvest and the glamping tents, the only issue for me was the limited number of showers—only two for the entire campsite, which meant long waits and a quick 4-minute limit that made me feel a bit rushed. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and I would gladly do it all over again. Special thanks to Jodie for creating such a fabulous experience.”— paulinelC3790GX
