Imagine spending quality time with family and friends in a tranquil setting where nature's beauty is your backdrop. Here, you can create unforgettable memories through simple pleasures—whether that means sharing hearty laughs over board games on the lawn, observing the enchanting dance of birds with a cup of tea in hand, or losing yourself in the pages of a good book from our thoughtfully curated library. Every corner of Shambala is designed to nurture your bonds and make your time together truly special.
But Shambala is more than just a retreat; it's a gateway to both relaxation and exploration. Nestled in the heart of a 118-acre farm surrounded by state forest, our sanctuary offers you the luxury of complete seclusion while remaining conveniently close to the vibrant cultural, culinary, and adventurous experiences of the Southwest. We're just 18 minutes from the charming town of Margaret River and 15 minutes from Cowaramup, placing you a stone’s throw from stunning coastlines, renowned vineyards, and exciting regional attractions.
Experience the ultimate unplug and reset as you escape the daily grind. Our retreat immerses you in nature’s soothing embrace—be it the peaceful hum of the forest, the breathtaking unpolluted night skies, or the invigorating fresh air. At Shambala, we've intentionally left behind technology like TVs and Wi-Fi to encourage meaningful connections and a deeper bond with both yourself and your loved ones. The Meeting House’s open-plan, solar-passive earth-home design complements this tranquil experience, making every moment spent here refreshing and rejuvenating.
For an extra special touch, enhance your stay with our bespoke offerings. Choose from integrative yoga classes, sound healing & ceremonies, Ayurvedic holistic healing & empowerment workshops, private live music concerts, deep ecology workshops, wholefood catering, and nature explorations.
