19th September ~  3rd October, 2021


Fill your own cup to support your business with a rejuvenated soul!
 
Capturing magnificent views of the Coral Sea, our unique tropical retreat is located at Trinity Beach, with a down-to-earth and laid-back atmosphere just twenty minutes north of Cairns. 
This spectacular Malaysian style timber home, designed to afford maximum privacy, features two-tiered pools and an expansive entertaining area – the perfect space for us to enjoy a relaxed programme of retreat sessions, to nurture yourself and rejuvenate your birth or postpartum doula business. 
The home shares private access to Trinity Beach, which has walking access to the beach via a steep rainforest track with bridges – a ten-minute hike for the fit, however, well worth the adventure through the rainforest.
