Pearl of Contentment Retreat - Canungra, Queensland

Ashley Kowald

I want to express how amazing this place was, the relaxing atmosphere, the way that walking into the place felt like coming home, bringing back the sights & smells of childhood, leaving no question that you are staying in a place that truly reflects what Australia is all about!
The only thing that outshines the beauty of the place is the host Belinda!
She is honestly the best host I have come across by a long way!
She could not do enough for us!
Her communication was concise, polite, knowledgeable & immediate. She gave us complete privacy while being right on the spot when we needed anything at all.
Belinda is so friendly that we all agreed that we felt like we were staying with family. We were a big group who made way too much noise on at least one night but her flexibility & bubbly personality had us completely at ease & we left feeling like we had gained a dear friend!
The peace & quiet, the massage chair,
Feeling so welcome & the amazing host were all highlights of our trip & left me with no doubt that we will all be back before too long!
Thank you so very much for having us Belinda.
Can’t wait for the next adventure!!!

I have had three times of 'retreat' at Pearl of Contentment Retreat over the past three and a half years.

Beds are comfortable; rooms and bathrooms clean and well-appointed.

Belinda Pearl , your host, is knowledgeable about health and fitness, delightfully hospitable, and also lots of fun( check out the games area downstairs, or relax with a book, or by the pool).
She speaks from experience about improving your physical and mental health, but if you just want to walk in the Lamington National Park, visit Canungra, swim in the pool, and eat her delicious, healthy breakfasts you won't regret a visit to her comfortable Australian bush retreat.

Farm animals, Kangaroos and birds are at home along with you in the surrounds of this solid homestead with gorgeous views.

Enjoy a stroll or a yoga session along with the sunrise. I found it a delightful place to refresh, write, rest and restore, but it's also a pleasant place to holiday with loved ones.

Over the past 5 years I have had three great experiences at Pearl of Contentment Retreat.

I enjoyed peace and a delightful feast of food, massages, exercise and the bush environment.

Belinda, your friendly host, has a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist you with your physical and mental health if you require a true retreat. You will be glad you did. However, the resort is a charming place for a peaceful holiday with loved ones.

You can enjoy the pool, the downstairs game retreat, a book from the library, the massage chair or the views from the well-situated verandah.

The comfortable accommodations include cooking facilities but you really will enjoy Belinda's delightful healthy breakfasts made fresh on the premises.

I booked another stay here in Feb 2023
I fell in love as soon as I came up the driveway. In the beautiful Cunungra forest, surrounded by trees, birds singing and Belinda greeted me on my arrival. She is so friendly. Anything she could do for me was not a problem.
My room was blissful looking out over the balcony I felt instant relaxation.
After my experience was yoga, meditation, massage, bush walks and my personal development sessions while I was here gave me a new prospective of tools to enjoy my life to the fullest.
This place is more than a retreat.
I have recommended it to everyone I know. Xx

I have been to The Pearl of Contentment at least 5 times if not more. Everytime I have felt truely at home. Belinda is the best host and serves up terrific homemade veggie fair.
The retreat is rustic and secluded. Perfect for relaxing and unwinding.
Her animals (chickens, horse, dog and cow) are so friendly....
The location is perfect for doing nothing or exploring the local area.

A big thank you to Belinda, for my amazing stay at her retreat, Pearl of Contentment, up in the beautiful Hinterlands.Belinda, along with her lovely sons, Teyden and Jaslar, were very friendly and caring, they made me feel so welcome. Great guidance and help from Belinda with some issues I had been dealing with for some time. Her meditation, yoga, gentle exercise programs, and outings in the beautiful country side were so calming, just being out with nature. I started to change from being negative, to positive thoughts. The accommodation was the best. Looking out from my bedroom, with an ensuite, I might add, watching wildlife roaming through the bush, the beauty of nature. Sitting outside around the fire at night, doing meditation with the friendly animals standing around us. And the food. Wow!! All homemade, and such variety, absolutely the best. Good cooks run in the family. One of the best decisions I have ever made, was to go to this retreat. Loved it.
Once again, a big thank you to Belinda, Teyden And Jaslar. Cheers,
Marlene. Xo

I can’t speak highly enough of my time here . A few days but it was exactly what l needed . I was going through a terrible time in my life and needed to get away, clear my head and make some hard decisions . The intuitive session and report with Belinda is invaluable ! Belinda guided me through our intuitive session helping me put my life in order and planned what l needed to do to achieve my goals. Belinda and her sons Jasler and Teyden gave me so much love and care l can’t thank them enough. The retreat is everything you would need , personal, rustic, peaceful with amazingly beautiful scenery. The furry and feathered family members are also a delight . Meals are tailored to your requirements, made by Belinda herself with love from the heart and are absolutely delicious!! Teyden's massage was wonderful and l felt so relaxed afterwards. Meditations and yoga on the balcony are definitely not to be missed!! I can’t wait to come back and spend more time here exploring all they have to offer. The Pearl family welcome you with open loving arms, will absolutely spoil you and do all they can to ensure your stay is perfect for YOU.
