THE RETREAT

Splashout has presented this exclusive event several times in the past and it has always been a great hit with several return bookings.

The Retreat Centre is owned by long standing associates of Splashout’s and has been architecturally designed in a very clean, modern, stylish manner with all the latest facilities.

The Facility is at Tara Hills just outside of Nairne (close to Mt Barker) and has been created in the most stunning of settings, privately tucked away within our beautiful Adelaide Hills.

Everything is supplied.  There is nothing to bring. We have hired a professional, qualified caterer and Krystyna Ciesiolkiewicz (Dip T, B Ed) will be facilitating the 2-day en plein air Workshop in person.
