 accommodations

 

The retreat centre/playhouse is a fully serviced house with all the amenities of a home.

​

It is the residence of your host(s) and so it's similar to bed and breakfast type accommodations. They have a suite on the lower level and the whole upper floor is dedicated to retreat participants. The main floor is the gathering space for sharing meals, relaxing, and sharing stories.

 

We are able to accommodate between one and twelve people in the four upstairs bedrooms. There are two beds in each room so for our eight person retreats you won't have to share (unless you want to😉) .

​

The four bedrooms are simple, each decorated to represent one the four seasons. 

​

There are two bathrooms (one on the main floor and one on the upper floor) to be shared between all guests but only one has a shower/tub. Some coordination and cooperation is needed but this has not posed a problem.

 

Linens and towels are provided but if you plan to use the sauna or head to the beach, please bring your own towel.

 

We do have wifi and cell reception can be sporadic in the summer when the trees are thick with leaves. We do recommend a conscious decision to reduce use of devices and connection with “the outside world” as it helps slow us down and become mindful of our environment and ourselves.

​

We have two very friendly dogs and a cat that may seek your attention. We assume everyone loves pets but acknowledge this isn’t necessarily the case. Please let us know if they’re annoying you and we’ll be more conscious of their behavior.  If you're allergic to pets, it will be up to you to sort out how to manage or you may conclude that attending a retreat at Nurtured by Nature is not for you.

​

FOOD

 

Meals are typically whole food and home-made (even the bread). 

​

We are home cooks and as a result, are limited in our ability to accommodate special dietary requirements. However, in consultation and with your contribution we will try to meet your nutritional needs (an additional fee may be added).

​

***Our insurance prohibits the consumption of alcohol on site. Please respect this limit and do not bring your own alcohol and it will not be served. The golf club in town does serve alcohol but we prefer that our guests experience natural highs of our beautiful setting while attending one of our programs.
