Simple, affordable, unforgettable! Kawartha's only  wellness retreat and B&B in a house built with straw!  

 

The Robins’ Nest Retreat is this and more. Located in the Kawarthas, just east of Peterorough, Ontario, about 2 hours northeast of Toronto and 3 hours west of Ottawa, this wellness retreat and B&B, in its soothing home built out of eco-friendly, straw bales offers a calm, supportive atmosphere for the ultimate relaxing experience, for intimate groups of 9 or less. Whether walking in the Labyrinth in the 22 A. hardwood forest, reading a book by the ornamental pond, relaxing on the hill on the meditation bench, sitting in the screened-in covered porch in the hot tub, wrapping your body in a soft terry robe, joining in a facilitated yoga, dowsing or Reiki retreat, or being pampered with alternative treatments, there is something for everyone. Prices start at $95 per person for individual retreats and $75 for a couple for B&B. Check this link for more detailed rates.

Life today is very fast paced and time for one’s own needs are often ignored. Burnout in all aspects of life is increasing. Step away and allow yourself to be pampered and cared for. Dine on tasty traditional or vegetarian cuisine prepared with an abundance of organic foods. Select one or more of the treatments offered by various local practitioners from our Treatments page to further enhance your wellness experience!

By your self, with a special friend or a group of 8 of your nearest and dearest, come and experience relaxation at its simplest. Choose from a facilitated weekend retreat on our Happenings page or a self-guided retreat from our Getaways page.
