Published 17 July 2026 ![Wide calm view of the sanctuary land and paddocks, conveying space and value, soft Highlands light](/images/misc/wide-calm-view-of-the-sanctuary-land-and-paddocks-.webp) As a business owner or busy homeowner, you likely know the heavy toll that constant decision-making takes on your energy. We see professionals arrive here completely burnt out from managing properties, teams, and daily obligations. That constant pressure is exactly why standard, rigid hotel packages often fail to provide actual relief. Our team created this space to offer a complete mental and physical reset, far away from crowded lobbies and generic itineraries. When you ask how much does a healing retreat cost, you deserve transparent data. This guide sits alongside our main equine healing retreats [/equine-healing-retreats/ →](/equine-healing-retreats/) page, so you can see the full experience while you weigh the price. Let’s look at the numbers behind retreat pricing, explore what actually drives these costs, and walk through how this supportive experience is built around your schedule. ## Why we quote on enquiry Pricing a retreat honestly requires understanding your exact situation. We do not offer rigid hotel-and-workshop bundles because no two guests have the same recovery needs. A forced schedule rarely helps someone looking for genuine stress relief. Our team shapes every stay around what a specific guest or small group actually requires. This custom approach dictates your length of stay, your mix of therapeutic sessions, and your choice of meals. We calculate your quote based only on the elements you use. You avoid paying for unnecessary activities that are usually averaged across a large group in standard commercial settings. ![The Stables interior with wood fire and kitchenette, warm and lived-in](/images/misc/the-stables-interior-with-wood-fire-and-kitchenett.webp) ## What shapes the cost Four specific levers drive the final equine retreat cost for your time here. We outline these factors below so you can plan your time effectively. - **Length of stay.** A simple day retreat serves as the smallest commitment for a quick reset. We find two-night stays are the most common choice for busy professionals. Extended three to seven-night stays cost more but deliver disproportionately greater depth and nervous system regulation. - **Group size.** Solo stays and small groups of up to four people require different resources. We calculate costs on a per-person basis for group bookings. Private, one-person stays are priced per-retreat to account for exclusive access to the property. - **Therapeutic sessions.** Your total includes the specific number of somatic or Reiki sessions Soo runs. We price standalone 60-minute somatic sessions at $395 and 90-minute Reiki sessions at $595. Retreat packages wrap these session fees directly into your total quote. - **Accommodation choice.** Multi-night stays include private on-site lodging in The Stables or Gang Gang Hideaway. We do not include overnight accommodation for day retreats. Recent 2026 data shows that standard Australian day retreats in regions like the High Country cost upwards of $530 just for daily activities and meals. We keep our pricing transparent by separating the stay from the services. This clarity helps you make an informed decision about your investment. | Cost Factor | Standard Hotel Stay | Our Private Retreat | | --- | --- | --- | | Accommodation | Shared building, public spaces | Private, exclusive on-site access | | Therapies | Generic spa menu | Integrated $395 to $595 sessions | | Privacy | Hundreds of guests | Zero outside interruptions | ## What’s typically included People often ask about whats included healing retreat style before booking. For a standard two-night weekend retreat for one person, the base quote covers several foundational elements. We focus on providing everything necessary for a complete mental reset. - Two nights in private on-site accommodation - Exclusive access to the land and the horse herd across the entire retreat - Two to three private sessions with Soo scheduled across the two days - Dedicated time for an arrival check-in and brief daily support catch-ups - Basic pantry supplies stocked directly in your accommodation Groups of two to four people receive adjusted per-person pricing. We often split the total therapy sessions between guests depending on what each person wants to achieve. Extended retreats lasting three to seven nights are built entirely from scratch with your input. ## Why pricing is custom rather than fixed Fixed-price packages certainly have their place in the travel industry. We avoid fixed pricing because generalized packages rarely address severe professional burnout effectively. ### Individual Requirements Drive the Itinerary Every guest arrives carrying a different physical and emotional load. We see some business owners who need multiple intensive therapy sessions to process stress. Other guests simply need quiet rest among the herd to decompress from property management. ### Group Dynamics Change the Structure Small groups naturally produce a very different dynamic compared to individuals. We adjust the required resources and staff time based on how many people share the property. Your specific choice of accommodation also directly affects the final price. Our goal is to quote you exactly what you receive rather than averaging costs artificially. This method ensures complete fairness for every visitor. ## Regional value Understanding the local Australian market helps put these costs into perspective. We look at the Southern Highlands as a premium destination. To give you a clear baseline, consider these average 2026 regional costs: - **Premium Accommodation:** Mid-range Southern Highlands properties typically run $250 to $500 a night, depending on amenities. - **Professional Therapy:** The Australian Psychological Society notes a recommended fee of $318 for a standard 46 to 60-minute consultation. - **Somatic Sessions:** Specialized 60-minute somatic sessions with a trained practitioner regularly range from $150 to $400. We provide dedicated sessions with Soo that reflect this level of intensive care. A retreat here bundles the private land, the herd, and on-site accommodation without any other guests present. This specific offering provides a highly focused chapter of care rather than a like-for-like comparison to a standard hotel or a quick clinical visit. Guests generally arrive knowing what a period of genuine recovery is worth to them at this stage of their career. We calculate what that exact structure actually costs to run. ## How to get a quote Starting the process is incredibly simple. We ask that you send Soo a short note containing a few basic details. - Rough preferred dates, noting that a week or two of flexibility helps immensely. - The exact number of people attending, ranging from one to four. - Your initial preference for a day, weekend, or extended stay. - Any relevant context about the stress or goals you are currently carrying. You certainly do not need to have all the details decided right now. Our team provides these details with absolutely no obligation to book.
