Frequently Asked Questions

Tivoli has 6 spacious rooms, and each room has its own ensuite. During the Tivoli Cleansing Retreat we only sell rooms so it is for you to decide if you would like to share this retreat with a partner, or friend or enjoy the retreat by yourself.

Each bedroom has it’s own large en-suite.

We recommend booking in for as many massages as you can during your stay, at least a daily massage to help with the winding down/relaxing process as well as supporting your body to cleanse.

Our meals are all lovingly prepared using organic or spray free fresh produce purchased from a local market. The meals are all wholefood plant based with a smoothie for breakfast and a soup for lunch and dinner. We don’t use any animal products or grains.

KaHuna massage originated in the South Pacific and was used during Rites of Passage as a transformational massage and healing system. It is also know as Hawaiian Temple Style massage and Lomi Lomi.

This beautiful form of massage provides a holistic approach to healing by balancing the body-mind in its physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions.

KaHuna massage is unique in a number of respects. The practitioner uses their hands, forearms and elbows and moves around the table (using flowing Hula an Tai Chi style movements). They work with energy to apply soft and deep tissue massage. Music is played and the practitioner attunes the flow of the massage to harmonise the various rhythms within the client’s body, mind & soul.

At Tivoli Retreat all practitioners have qualified, after in-depth training with Mette’s Institute at High Spirits Retreat and your practitioner will have extensive massage experience.

Tivoli Retreat is an adults only retreat, so guests need to be 18 or older.

Our closest airport is the Sunshine Coast Airport (also called Maroochydore), which is an hour away, otherwise guests can fly into the Brisbane Airport, which is approximately a 2 hour drive.

Otherwise you could catch a train to the Gympie North Station and we could come and collect you from there.

We encourage our guests to have a screen detox during their stay. To take this opportunity to disconnect from the busy overstimulating outside world and honour this precious quiet time to themselves. To take the time to connect in with themselves, to feel into their bodies, quiet the mind and connect in with their inner wisdom and guidance.
