Short Tours and Getaways

Short tours and holiday breaks can be the pathway to your well-being

Contemplating a short holiday?

Have you discovered time is a limited resource in your life? Do you contemplate holiday breaks or luxury getaways where you can retreat and “chill out”?

Do you need a little enhancement to your Australian holiday plans?

Have you a short holiday opportunity just perfect for a diversion and some time in the bush?

Short tours can be a delightful part of a broader Australian holiday, or an opportunity to “try” the Nature-Bound experience before embarking on one of our longer extended journeys.

If the pressures of a modern lifestyle have encroached on your travel plans or leisure time from work, then our short tours can be part of your solution.

So what do our guests think?

Our guests have discovered there can be more to short breaks or a retreat holiday than simply a luxury spa conceived to pamper and indulge.  Imagine a place in the wild which

  • refocuses the mind
  • where small creatures going about their day are an absorbing distraction
  • where a 'rock in a hard place' actually offers a window to a magnificent panorama and a moment of inspiration.

Our short tours and getaways, departing from Brisbane, take you into a variety of wonderful wild places.  All the homely comforts, the style and ethos of a Nature-Bound tour are retained in an inspiring bush retreat, unique landscapes and world heritage environments.

Back tracks lead to isolated retreats

Choose a tour with wellness in mind!

As one of our business executive guests once said, "all I have had to think about in the last few days is where to put my feet."

There is another philosophy which suggests "the best two doctors you can have are your own two feet."
