Rest Begins Here: Why Restorative Travel Matters (and Why We Created Wisps of Wool Retreat)
In a world where "busy" is worn like a badge of honour, sadly true rest has become a radical act.
At Wisps of Wool Retreat, nestled in bush of Torrumbarry just north of Echuca, we believe rest is not indulgent, it’s essential. That’s why we’ve created restorative stays for professionals: spacious, soul-deep getaways for those who give a lot, do a lot, and need time to realign.
A Different Kind of Retreat
We’re not a resort. We’re not a spa. We’re not a “wellness week” where you follow a strict schedule.
What we are is calm. Grounded. Thoughtfully curated for reconnection, reflection, and rest.
Our 4-day stays for up to 4 guests offer:
-
A relaxing, and light-filled space designed for deep exhalation
-
Bush views, birdsong, quietude and a magnesium plunge pool
-
A dedicated work nook for those who needing to blend productivity with pause
-
Optional curated extras: meals from local makers, mobile massage, guided meditation, and more
Whether you arrive with your creative team, your coaching group, your sisterhood or just yourself, this is a place to slow down, feel held, and reawaken clarity.
Why Professionals Need Space to Pause
Burnout isn’t just something that happens to other people. It’s become a quiet epidemic, particularly among women, caregivers, leaders and creatives.
We see it. We’ve lived it. Wisps of Wool is our response: a retreat shaped by lived experience, local love and a belief that rural Victoria has a powerful role to play in the future of wellness.
We don’t believe in over-promising. But we do believe in over delivering on things that matter: Warmth. Stillness. Beauty. Generosity. Reconnection with nature, and with yourself.
A Stay That Stays With You
Our guests often say the same thing when they leave:
“I didn’t know how much I needed this.”
They sleep deeper. Breathe slower. Laugh more. Sometimes, cry. They reconnect with something ancient and wise in themselves, just by sitting on the veranda or standing barefoot under the gums.
We don’t take that lightly. We see it as a privilege.

A Show-Stopper in Australian Design
Renowned architectural critic Gary Takle was captivated by the warmth and innovative design of Torrumbarry’s 'Trishlida on Dhungala.' Inspired by the traditional shearing shed, this unconventional home was chosen to debut on the first episode of Foxtel’s Australia’s Best Homes, showcasing the blend of rustic charm and modern comfort that defines our space.
Introducing Wisps of Wool:
A New Chapter for a Timeless Space
For years, The Shearing Shed House has been a sanctuary—a place where memories have been created, stories shared, and connections deepened. Today, we’re honored to share its evolution as we embrace a new name that reflects not just what this space is but what it feels like: Wisps of Wool.
Inspired by the soft threads of wool that echo the property’s heritage, Wisps of Wool represents the delicate balance between past and present. It’s a name that celebrates the essence of our retreat—the peace of golden sunsets, the connection to the bushland, and the warmth of moments shared.
In this new chapter, we’re weaving even more into the experience. The addition of our outdoor bath, where you can soak under the stars surrounded by the sounds of nature, and the new plunge pool, nestled into the landscape and positioned to catch the stunning hues of sunset, bring new layers of luxury and tranquility to our guests.
We’ve poured love into every detail, from lanolin-oiled floors to the carefully curated interiors that tell stories of the land and its people. But it’s not just about the place—it’s about what the place makes you feel. At Wisps of Wool, it’s about grounding yourself in nature, slowing down, and letting the beauty of the bush work its magic.
We invite you to be part of this exciting journey. Whether you’re visiting for an intimate event, a restorative stay, or simply to immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the Murray region, Wisps of Wool is ready to welcome you.
Stay tuned as we continue to craft and share this evolving story. We can’t wait to see where this new name—and the heart it represents—takes us.
