About the Garden of Eden Retreat
The Garden of Eden Retreat is an experience of total relaxation, privacy and peace. It is a 61 acre property situated on sacred Aboriginal land. Bordering the World Heritage-listed Yengo National Park, the home of Mount Yengo – ‘Uluru of the East’ – this sacred land is a powerful creative and healing centre in the Hunter Valley region of Australia.
Admire the view of Mount Yengo as you descend into Boree Valley, home of the Garden of Eden Retreat. Mount Yengo is a table-top mountain and remnant of an ancient volcano. Aboriginal legend tells the story of Baiame, the creator, stepping down from the sky to create the earth and all things from where Mount Yengo stands today; it has been an important spiritual and cultural centre for eons.
The Garden of Eden experience is one of tranquillity. Enjoy off-the-grid living with all the modern amenities, while staying in distinctively understated style and luxury. Garden of Eden’s two private living quarters – the Gaia Studio and Pemulwuy House - blend in beautifully with the natural Australian bushland, providing a sacred space for rejuvenation.
Walk outside to experience the healing magic of the land. Gaze upon the beauty of this natural wilderness and be inspired by the serenity of the Living Sanctuary Garden. Take a walk to our two sacred sites – the Pyramid and Goddess Stone Circle – for healing and communion with spirit and nature.

We stayed in the Gaia Studio at the Garden of Eden Retreat for two nights - the experience was honestly, quite out of this world. The location is unique and is situated deep in the very special Yengo National Park, overlooked by the sacred Mount Yengo. We felt like we were suspended in a parallel dimension with none of the usual distractions and noise of the outside world, or of our day-to-day lives. Garden of Eden is off grid, and we chose to be completely off grid with no access to WiFi, our devices or the outside world. This made our experience all the more peaceful and relaxing, we could let go, have fun, meditate and be at peace with no idea or interest in what was happening beyond the retreat. The land is special with beautiful rock formations, forest and wildlife, and we had the time to enjoy all of this and relax with nature. The accommodation was so well appointed and beautifully set up with high quality linen, heating, and all the essential toiletries. Food for a continental breakfast was also provided, so we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this experience to anybody needing to literally get away and recharge.
