Melbourne Cup Weekend Wellness Retreat — Little Farm of Calm

Set in the peaceful surrounds of Benalla, Victoria, this all-inclusive Melbourne Cup long weekend retreat at Little Farm of Calm offers a restorative escape with everything thoughtfully taken care of. Guests stay in private cabin accommodation and enjoy all meals throughout the stay, alongside a carefully curated program designed to support movement, recovery, and relaxation.

Led by AHPRA-registered physiotherapist Jill Mentiplay, the retreat includes physio-led aerial yoga and reformer pilates, float therapy with magnesium salt hydrotherapy, medical-grade red light therapy, an infrared sauna, a heated mineral spa, and a cold plunge. The experience also features massage chairs, a myofascial release workshop, a guided bike tour of Lake Benalla, and a self-defence workshop.

To round out the long weekend, guests can gather around the firepit with mulled wine and enjoy a playful mini-goat happy hour. With no hidden costs, this retreat is designed to feel effortless, nourishing, and memorable from start to finish.
