Stay somewhere relaxing near the relationship retreat.

Retreat accommodation near Port Willunga

We find that participants get the most out of their relationship retreat experience by staying off-site where they have plenty of space and privacy.

Even if you live in Adelaide, staying in Port Willunga or one of the nearby towns frees you from the usual responsibilities of home and family for the weekend. The only question is - where to stay?

Luckily, there is plenty of accommodation in Port Willunga and in nearby towns on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Retreat participants often choose to extend their stay with some extra time to enjoy the beautiful Fleurieu coastline, walking trails, galleries, boutique cellar doors and regional dining.

Here are our guests' picks of accommodation options in different towns and price ranges.

You'll also find plenty of options by searching any of these towns on airbnb and stayz.

"We are in a very sweet spot. I wanted very much to thank you for your wonderful and rare ability. You created what we needed. So just in case you don't already know...your work is beautiful and hugely important."

BB, New South Wales

"When my parents returned from the couples retreat I noticed a spark in their eyes that I hadn't seen for years. It was truly heartwarming to see them in such a state, so refreshed, like a young couple all over again."

KF, South Australia

"We made this commitment at the end of the retreat - Listen more deeply. Connect more actively. Communicate more openly. Creating opportunities to live, laugh and love. And interact in the world at large. With openness and joy. While keeping perspective."

J & B, New South Wales

"The retreat was a truly transformative experience and has equipped us with tools and strategies to move our relationship forward from mediocre to awesome in a sustainable way."

CT, South Australia

"This weekend provided us with a stepping stone into a much brighter and clearer future together with a better understanding and greater respect of each other. Our holiday in Queensland has got off to a brilliant start with us both feeling a greater connection than we’ve ever felt before. I cannot thank you enough."

J.T

"We went into the weekend quite worried that our relationship couldn’t be helped and that we had reached the end of the road together. Jane and Sheila turned this around for us right from the very first evening there. We learned that we still loved each other and the communication lines were opened up again. To be aware of why you react to your partner in a certain way is a very powerful thing. I cannot thank Jane and Sheila enough for what they did for us. They showed us real love and warmth and looked after us all. I think this weekend is a must for anybody in a relationship."

JW (married since the retreat), Victoria

"We LOVED the couples retreat, it was just what we needed. A relaxing weekend away to rejuvenate our souls and reinvigorate our relationship. The course was beautifully designed and delivered by two amazing women with decades of experience between them. The course helped us to discover blocks, reconnect and remember who we are as individuals as well as a couple. Thank you so much Shiela and Jane, we are ever-grateful to you both. "

AL, South Australia

"Since doing the weekend with you and Sheila, we have both felt a shift in our attitudes and outlooks. We've positively benefited from the exercises, the discussions and the one-on-ones with Sheila. It's been quite an amazing shift and I can't see either of us reverting to old behavior patterns as what we gained during the weekend wa s so powerful it feels like it's been permanently ingrained in each of us. I can't thank you both enough and we have already made the decision to do a refresher weekend in twelve months or eighteen months."
