Summer House is a relaxed yet lavish setting with simply stunning interiors and outdoor spaces, just minutes from the fabled Bells Beach Ocean Reserve and famous surf town of Torquay.

Formerly the homestead of a large sheep station, it has expansive ocean views and is surrounded by nature. With half an acre of landscaped garden - our outdoor space is designed for you to rest, relax and rejuvenate.  

From the solar-heated magnesium mineral pool and infrared sauna, to the zen courtyard and buddha gardens, to the onsite yoga studio and ceremonial fire pit - this space provides the perfect beach setting to renew and refresh.

Following his success on Masterchef Australia seasons 11 & 12, and his very own plant-based cooking program on Channel 10, Simon Toohey is now offering his passion and expertise a little closer to home, as your very own private retreat chef. Not only that, but you’ll have the chance to learn delicious plant based recipes, tips and tricks from the vegetable ambassador himself. Our retreats are generously sponsored by Farmers Pick, an organisation that delivers perfectly good local fruit and veg that major supermarkets reject due to unrealistic beauty standards. Did you know that 30% of food is wasted at the farm, 30% at the supermarket, and 30% in the home? By eating perfectly imperfect fruit and veg, and learning how to make food last through preserving techniques (yes, Simon will teach you) we are doing the Earth, our wallets, and our stomachs a solid.

Have a passion for food but new to Yoga? You are welcome here. An experienced practitioner but would rather curl up on a couch than learn about sourdough? Bookworm away. Fancy a drink with dinner? BYO is A-Ok with us. Would rather something a little more mellow? We support that too. Needing some time away from the crowds? Torquay is just down the road with cafes, interesting stores and gorgeous bush walks and scenery (we’re right an the beginning of the Great Ocean Road, after all!)
Essentially, this is your retreat, and however you’d like to customise it to suit yourself, we’ve got you.

“WellFed retreat exceeded all expectations.” 

“Simon, Georgia and the team provided such a nurturing space where we could all unwind, reflect, cook, eat, laugh and welcome joy!” 

“This couple are the real deal and offer something special and dynamic.” 

“Georgia holds a space in her yoga classes that opens your heart, and allows every fibre to breathe. She has a gift!”

“Simon brings not only an incredible amount of knowledge but bloody good humour to the kitchen. So generous of spirit, and eating his food was a privilege.”

“Nothing was overlooked, the preparation must have been massive, because it was so beautifully orchestrated.” 

“You are both quite remarkable & have a true gift for what you offer. Your passion & commitment is palpable.”

“I felt so deeply nourished on every level!”
