Thank you for signing up to be a part of this year’s weekend retreat. It is going to be a beautiful few days of drumming, dining, and connecting. There will be 15 of us staying at the venue and also a couple of people who have booked to join us for the day program.

Here are a few more details for your planning and packing. If you have any questions at all please let me know.

Continental House

The venue is located at 9 Lone Pine Ave, Hepburn Springs. Parking is directly out the front of the venue. If you need any assistance unloading gear, head inside and you will find peeps happy to help.

Accommodation & Rooms

You can choose your room when you arrive.

All rooms at Continental House are lovely spaces and every one is different. They are single-share with ensuite; all with showers, some also have a bath. Three rooms have a shower over the bath - please check you are happy with the bathroom configuration of the room before you move in.

The rooms are all in the main house (one big share house) so if you sleep on the lighter side you may want to bring ear plugs. If you find it hard to sleep with standard plugs, I highly recommend Happy Ears.

Dining

Breakfast is self-catered so bring what you need or make a plan to pop out to grab something. There are a number of cafes within a short drive. Tea and coffee making supplies and facilities are provided onsite.

Lunch is provided by Nourish Catering on Saturday and Sunday. Note the timing below and bring snacks if you need. We will have a decent break in the morning session.

The current plan for dinners is that one night we will cater together at the venue (sharing the labour and costs), the other night we will make a group booking somewhere local.

If you are keen to be a part of group dinner/s please let me know below and we will include you in the planning. The other night, when we dine out, I will get numbers and book something closer to the time.

Spa Deck

I added the recently built spa deck (magnesium hot spa, cold/cool plunge pool, & infrared sauna) to our booking so bring your swimming gear if you fancy a dip/sauna.
