Where
Lancemore Macedon Ranges
​
If being surrounded by 274 acres of Australian bush in Victoria’s beautiful Macedon Ranges sounds appealing, then The Retreat is for you. With rolling hills that stretch as far as the eye can see, an estate vineyard, and resident mobs of kangaroos or flocks of rosellas stopping by to graze on the lawn, Lancemore Macedon Ranges is the perfect setting for contemplation, movement and inspiration.
​
What to expect
Pause Retreat takes you back to nature, offering a beautiful and well-appointed setting that feels like a second home. In the open air, amidst quiet surroundings, you’ll have the opportunity to form deep connections, and develop a supportive network with relationships that extend beyond our events.
With our practical and personalised approach, you’ll leave with a clear action plan tailored to your goals, feeling heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.
We believe that life is all about balance, so we design our programs with a focus on mind, body and soul. We won’t lie, there is some hard work involved, but we also prioritise time for relaxation, movement, reflection and connection. This means you can still have your coffee to kick start your day, and enjoy a delicious meal with a glass of wine to celebrate your hard work.
Be challenged. Be bold. Surprise yourself
