    My husband and I attended a retreat at GYMEA and had a wonderful experience. We were warmly welcomed by Sonia on arrival, who made us feel comfortable straight away and helped us settle in with ease. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and well maintained, and the facilities at the retreat were excellent. The magnesium pool was absolutely glorious, and both the spa and staff were fantastic and very friendly. The Octagon is truly something special, with its beautiful light feature in the centre creating such a calming atmosphere. Overall, the whole retreat has a very special feel to it, and I would absolutely love to return again in the future.

    We've been hosting our Natural Instinct Healing retreats at Gymea for over a decade. It is the perfect sanctuary for our guests, and the Gymea team are the ultimate support to our business. The magnesium Pool and the Octogon room are incredible! Highly recommend Gymea to any retreat host.
