Ballara Art & Lifestyle Retreat offers the perfect getaway for couples or small groups to relax, recharge and awaken inner creative genius!

 

 

A beautiful old stone home built in the early 1900s, Ballara can accommodate up to 6 adults in 3 rooms, with shared bathroom.

The house sits on 4 town blocks surrounded by art-inspired, water wise gardens.

The large outdoor entertaining area has wonderful views across rural countryside down to the ocean only 5km away. 

Perfect for relaxing or artistic inspiration and a self-rewarding glass of wine at the end of the day in our outdoor 'Bath House'!

​

As a Retreat, there are many activities and therapies we can offer. 

From professional artistic mentoring or physical therapist sessions to full day immersive relaxation/Spa or cooking experiences.

 

Currently, 2 or 3 night packages are available that can be tailored to accommodate you specifically; as an artist, photographer, writer or yoga/wellbeing retreat. Our packages are individually designed to provide a relaxing and inspiring experience.

 

Packages are all customised with your choice of activities, subject to the availability of tutors and therapists.

​

Ballara Workshop Packages/ Retreats are designed to be all inclusive, ie. accommodation, meals and art/therapy sessions.

​

In addition, Ballara can also be utilised as accommodation or for events and private functions.

The huge, lawned "Mrs. Baker's Backyard" is equipped with a BBQ shed, fire pit and view to the horizon.

 

Incorporated inside the house is the Ballara Gallery; a collection of local art and photography. A commitment to supporting local artists can be found by visiting the Top Shop Gallery in the main street. Open Tuesday to Saturadys from 11.00am to 2.00pm.

 The gallery is open to the public by appointment ($5 per person) when the retreat is not being accommodated.
