Volunteer for Free Holiday at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in Australia

Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat

Many people like to stay at a lifestyle retreat to get away from the hectic pace of the pressures of everyday life. There is an opportunity for people to volunteer their time in exchange for accommodation and meals at the Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat located in the Tallebudgera Valley on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia.

If you have a few weeks on your hands, this offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become part of the team, working behind the scenes to assist staff in providing the serene and restorative environment the retreat is famous for. You will be provided with excellent on-site accommodation, gourmet organic meals and access to Gwinganna's extensive facilities. In return you will be given shifts across all departments for a total of 40 hours a week.

You can choose to stay anywhere from two to five weeks. If you decide to stay for the full five weeks, you'll receive a complimentary retreat package where you'll be pampered and nourished at Gwinganna as a guest - which would usually cost about $4000.

Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat

Gwinganna has been named the Best Australian Health and Wellness property in the Luxury Travel Magazine Gold List awards 2012.

Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat is located high on a plateau on 500 acres in a hidden region of the Tallebudgera Valley, the promise of abundance and calm beckons. Since the dawn of time, this place has watched in silence as the weather changes sweep from the south and the west.

Surrounded by ocean and valley views, this land’s inhabitants and visitors have listened to the silence of the bush for eternity. The Aboriginal people were the original custodians of the region. It was they who gave name to the place. Gwinganna translates to ‘lookout’, aptly named given its position offering views from Moreton Bay to Coolangatta.

Gwinganna’s steep slopes have protected it from too much devastating timber clearing and settlers in years gone by. Substantially intact, many parts of Gwinganna still retain its ancient past. The silence and stillness of this mountain retreat revitalises tired souls and allows guests to rest and recover from their busy worlds. The longer you stay on this magical mountain, cocooned from the outside world, the sooner you will return to your natural state of having an abundance of energy and vitality.
