Ferguson Valley Escape

Garden time, movement and renewal

Australia Crooked Brook paid

A 300-square-metre barn, a spring-fed pool and 12 acres of gardens set the scene for women’s wellness retreats at Ferguson Valley Escape. The program brings together guided wellness practices, holistic therapies and time for rest, with themes including feminine energetics, embodiment and connection. Guests can stretch or practise yoga in the barn, find a quiet hammock among the gardens, or join cooking demonstrations with the chefs. Meals are made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, and dietary options include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. It’s a nature-focused place to step back from everyday demands, spend time with other women and make room for reflection without a rigid retreat format. Retreats are guided by Sasha, and the exact activities depend on the program you book. Prices start at USD 500; check the website for current dates and retreat details.
