The property
As a retreat leader, you want to find a space that’s big enough for everyone - and which creates an instant sense of calm and comfort.
Somewhere rural, but not too far, where you can soak up mountain views, wander in lush, established gardens and have a choice of two ultra private houses to give all your guests have a great night’s sleep.
As soon as the gate closes at Curraweena House, the rest of the world falls away. Sit by the fire, do yoga in the barn, talk a walk to a look-out, or read a book. It’s easy to wind down and feel relaxed from the moment you arrive.
Local chefs come in to feed you delicious meals. Everyone gathers for friendly, family-style dining inside or on the deck. And when it’s time to rest your head, sink into a comfy bed made with luxe linens and plush pillows.
When you book your next retreat, this is all waiting for your community - and we’d love to have you.
Your stay at Curraweena House
Inviting, beautifully styled and with a peaceful energy, our spacious, much-loved heritage home is one of the best retreat venues you’ll find in NSW’s Blue Mountains.
The house comfortably sleeps 11 guests - and we’ll chat to you beforehand about the configuration you need, be it singles, doubles or a mixture of both. Take a peek at the bedrooms and bathrooms below, and find out more about Bell View House, our overflow accommodation just a short walk across a well-lit paddock. Together, the two houses sleep up to 18.

There are lights in the paddock to guide your way and we also provide lanterns and torches if you’re returning late at night after activities or dinner at Curraweena House.
Bell View House is a little separate from the action, but is well-equipped with fireplace, smart TV, coffee machine, air con and WIFI. It also has a large deck with lounge and mountain views.

Spaces to gather
No matter your retreat program, we have a space to suit. Here’s a quick run-down:
Our ivy-covered barn is all set up for you with mats, bolsters, blankets, light dimmers, heating and air-con - perfect for guests perfecting their yoga practice!
The barn’s trestle tables and chairs make it the ideal space for makers or writers, too - and you can set up trestles outside for an al fresco workshop or leisurely long lunch
If massage is on the cards for your guests, there’s a separate, cosy treatment cottage (and we’ll happily connect you with our favourite therapists)
Guests craving some downtime? They’ll be spoilt for choice with the cosy corners, plush couches and sunny decks, perfect for curling up with a book
Our outdoor firepit is always popular if it’s a nice evening - and we supply the wood!
Where to pause and relax
What’s a retreat without chill-out time, connection and good conversation? At Curraweena House, this happens on walks to local lookouts, a dip with other guests in the heated plunge pool, enjoying a meal in the light-filled dining room, or enjoying a chat round the fire in the cosy living room.
Have a dip
Our heated plunge pool is just the ticket for soothing tired muscles after a day of yoga! It’ll fit 10 people.
Take a walk with your group
The Vale of Avoca Lookout is lovely at sunset, or anytime really!
Hang out by the fire
You’ll find lots of cosy corners in the living room at Curraweena House - and there’s also a firepit outside. We supply the wood!
Enjoy a meal together
Our large dining room seats will comfortably accommodate a big group
Commonly asked questions
-
Of course! We’ll supply the firewood too.
-
We love the Vale of Avoca lookout for the beautiful sunsets we get in this area.
-
Telstra coverage is imperfect in Kurrajong, so if you need to make a call, the best spot is on the deck at Curraweena House.
-
There’s a 200m paddock walkway between Curraweena House and Bell View House - you access it via a gate behind the yoga barn. There’s lighting and extra torches at night.
