Gwinganna launches mother/daughter retreatQueensland, Australia

Forget awkward brunches and passive-aggressive text chains, Gwinganna is giving the classic mother-daughter bonding session a full-blown glow-up.
This spring, the luxe lifestyle retreat in Queensland is launching its first-ever Mother Daughter Retreat, and let’s just say, it’s not your average spa weekend with Mum.

Running from 28 September to 2 October, the four-night escape is like therapy, yoga, a nature walk and a group hug all rolled into one leafy, luxe hinterland experience. Open to daughters aged 14 and up, it’s the perfect excuse to disconnect from screens, ditch the drama, and actually talk to each other (without emojis).

Expect expert-led chats on hormones, nutrients and other magical biological things you both pretend to understand, hosted by superstar health humans like Dr Libby and Dr Karen Coates. There’s also sound healing, mountain bathing (yep, that’s a thing), dance, cooking demos, and a Circle of Light fire ceremony that’s deeply Instagrammable.

Oh, and did we mention the massages, organic food, and wellness credits? Gwinganna knows how to lure us in…with snacks, serenity, and soul work.
So, whether your mother-daughter dynamic is more Gilmore Girls or Game of Thrones, this is your chance to hit pause, breathe deeply, and maybe even hug it out in a place with no Wi-Fi and zero judgement.

But there are limited spots available, so book now before someone else nabs the last massage and your mum finds out you still haven’t returned her tupperware.
