Finding Strength & Serenity in Bali
"Highly recommend Bonte Retreats if you’re looking for a week that blends wellness, movement, reflection and fun in one beautiful Bali setting. It felt personal, supportive and genuinely inclusive. Stef and Mel create a vibe that’s warm, fun and relaxed. Great people, great energy, an unforgettable week." - Anna F
Walking Club & Sunshine Coast Retreat
"I joined Stef and Mel's Bonté retreats 12-week training Program back in April (leading up to the 30km Coastrek Hike Sunshine Coast in July) and it was the best decision I made this year. The walking/training program involved a range of classes - functional high intensity classes, pilates, mobility/flexibility and Yin/Yang yoga, the mix of all these options was really motivating for me because I like to have a variety when I exercise and this gave the inspiration I needed alongside Stef and Mel's beautiful encouragement and check ins within the whatsapp group, and the connection with the rest of the group via messages/sharing photos, it was a really lovely way to stay connected throughout the program.
The Coastrek 30km Hike in the Sunshine Coast was an amazing experience especially completing it with 6 other strong, beautiful women.
The 'Bonté' retreat hosted by Stef & Mel in a stunning house in Coolum Beach Hinterlands was the perfect place to unwind and revitalise pre and post the Hike, with mobility and Yin and bonding over cheeseboards & meals around the table, it made for an experience that will live on in my memory forever ✨️💛
I would highly recommend to anyone wanting community, connection and completing a challenge surrounded by encouragement and fun, to join Bonté Retreats experiences ✨️ - Grainne

“I had a wonderful time in Bali and learned a lot. The whole experience was very new and it was good for me to get out of my comfort zone. The weather, the food and the garden was divine and I felt really good when I got home.”
