I had such a wonderful experience at this wellness retreat. The setting at the winery was absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for a day of relaxation and renewal. Everything was really well organised, which made it easy to just switch off and enjoy.
Rosanna’s yoga session in the wine barrel room was truly special – her voice carried so beautifully against the brick walls, creating the most calming atmosphere. The small, intimate group made it feel personal and supportive. The pine trees created a lovely backdrop for the workout.
On top of that, the food was delicious and nourishing – the perfect way to round out the day. Overall, it was such a memorable experience that blended nature, movement, and mindfulness in the most thoughtful way.
I had such a wonderful time at One and Only Retreats! Chris and Rosanna were absolutely amazing – everything felt so warm, personal, and thoughtfully put together. It was the perfect chance to slow down, recharge, and enjoy some much-needed quality time with my friends. The day finished beautifully with a delicious yoga session that left me feeling refreshed and grounded. Highly recommend!
As someone with a hectic schedule the half-day inner-city retreat was exactly what I needed to pause, breathe and reset. In just a few hours, I felt completely refreshed and grounded. The space was a roof top with views on the river and city.
From guided mindfulness sessions and gentle movement to moments of stillness and nourishing refreshments, every part of the experience was intentional and uplifting. It was amazing how such a short escape could have such a lasting impact on my mindset and energy levels.
If you're looking to recharge without travelling far, this retreat is a must. Highly recommend it!
Such a lovely and relaxing morning at the half day retreat! Would come again, and highly recommend. Only thing missing was a little morning treat for the workshop. Everything else was so well planned and a delicious lunch and juice to end the day!
Thank you Chris, Rosanna and the team for a lovely day!

Hi Lovisa, we definitely put in the effort to make every detail count so our guests can enjoy it all! Thank you for joining us and inviting your friend to experience our retreats. Unfortunately the venue did not allow us to bring anything into the lounge area and were very strict on bringing external food and drinks. We would have loved to otherwise! We are so grateful to have amazing suppliers to help nourish your day! See you at the next one!
This morning's half-day yoga retreat was just what I needed. The mindful practice with Rosanna allowed me to reconnect with myself and slow down. The mobility session with Chris afterward was the perfect way to stretch and release tension. With the beautiful view of the Swan River, it was a peaceful and rejuvenating experience. I left feeling more centered and grounded. Thank you, Rosanna and Chris, for such a lovely morning.
Enjoyed a beautiful experience for the half day retreat hosted by Rosanna and Chris out in the Perth Hills. A balance between mindful movement, nature, wellness, yoga, as well as a mental reset and some incredible locally catered food for lunch. The distillery tour and gin tasting afterwards was a bonus ! A great escape from the everyday pace with a lovely group. Can't wait to do another retreat.
I had the most reinvigorating experience at the half day retreat. Chris and Ros embodied the retreat experience while making it accessible for the modern lifestyle. The way they captured the essence of a retreat allowing us to immediately drop into relaxation made for a nourishing day.
I attended a Half-Day Retreat in a gorgeous location in the Perth Hills. The retreat started off with a movement and mobility session, followed by a bush hike, a nourishing fresh juice and lunch, good conversations, a goal setting and reflection exercise (very nice touch to bring a bit of meaning to the event), and ended with a meditative yoga session. There was an optional gin-tasting tour that came part of the location, but I didn't attend that part.
It was a really wonderful, soothing and reflective experience, with a relaxed and inclusive vibe. A big thank you to Ros and Chris for their friendliness and genuine warmth throughout. I can't wait for a longer retreat and I will definitely recommend to friends!
I recently participated in a half day retreat organised by Chris and Rosanna and it went great.
The experience for a half day retreat has left me uplifted and allowed some much needed time to ground and meditate with nature.
The retreat was so well thought out, and Chris and Rosanna’s attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. I will now include one & only retreats in my christmas wishlist and gifting guide to close friends and family members.
I am looking forward to the next ones and now understand why their retreats is so well rated and beloved among the retreat and yoga community.
Thank You Chris and Rosanna for having us, and providing such a well thought out retreat.
A truly special experience! I was lucky enough to be part of the Gracetown retreat and enjoyed every single moment. Beautiful accommodation, delicious vegan meals prepared for us (HUGE shoutout to Eve our incredible chef), great company and a perfect mix of weights training, yoga and a coastal hike to top it off. Rosanna and Chris have thought of everything to curate the ultimate break away from reality. I can’t wait for my next one and only retreat!
Experience of a lifetime and would 100% without a doubt book a retreat again. As a yoga beginner who had never done a retreat before, I was slightly anxious at first but the wealth of knowledge and incredibly supportive nature of Ros and Chris definitely made a difference. It was such a lovely, warm and friendly environment where I was able to surround myself with like-minded people and make some amazing friendships! It gave me the chance to fully reset and become more present, enabling me to fully appreciate and embrace life’s simple moments without the distractions of phones/technology. The vegan food made by Eve was also absolutely delicious and just as tasty (if not more) as any none vegan meal I've had! A perfect weekend which I will never forget and I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a well deserved break.
This was my very first One and Only retreat and all of my expectations were totally blown away by the love, care, commitment and generosity Chris and Rosanna shared during the retreat. As a team they curate the most supportive environment that naturally attracts such amazing retreat participants and friendships (plus our in-house chef, Eve, who cooked up the best meals). Being in Gracetown, surrounded by the bush, the sea and the fresh air was so grounding. 1 weekend away has felt like an entire week and I’m so re-energise and ready to get back to the busyness of life.
Take. Me. Back.
My One and Only Retreat experience was utter joy. It was incredible being so well looked after- I loved the yoga sessions and the subsequently excellent sleep; the beautiful, delicious and healthy food; the fun and challenging strength session and the breathtaking Cape to Cape walk.
I met really lovely people- Chris and Roseanna are wonderful- and left with a truly positive mindset. Cannot wait to go back.
I give 5 stars to these two ( Chris & Rosanna) fabulous retreats as I've been lucky enough to have done 2 ( Margaret River & Dunsborough ) its a great balance retreat with yummy food, fitness & Chris and Rosanna make you feel very welcome!! ( I'm not the best at yoga but still fun..haha). Looking forward to joining them on my 3rd retreat next year... Conny
