Company info

Canyonleigh Retreat was founded in 2018, with the retreat officially welcoming guests starting in November 2021. This family-owned business, supported by a dedicated team of 8 staff members, is committed to providing exceptional service. Their hard work has been recognized, as they were finalists in the Southern Highlands Business Awards for Tourism Services in both 2023 and 2024. The retreat has grown from 6 to 16 rooms by 2024, with an on-site café and a swimming pool soon to be added. The retreat maintains impeccably clean rooms and places a strong emphasis on sustainability, recycling, and resource conservation. The farm uses a no-till method for cultivating produce, avoiding chemical inputs, and implements hydroponic systems to address water conservation challenges. The retreat also utilizes a bore water system and collects roof water to support environmental sustainability. The produce grown at the retreat is used in the kitchen to make jams, chutneys, relishes, and sauces, ensuring maximum utilization of the farm’s harvest. Canyonleigh Retreat’s 500-acre native forest is a source of pride, providing a thriving environment for wildlife and native plants. The retreat sources local produce from suppliers who share the same sustainability philosophy and collaborates with local businesses to enhance their services. Accessibility and inclusiveness are central to the retreat’s values, creating a welcoming space for all guests.
