The Retreat Venue


The upcoming series of Sense the Tango Argentine Tango retreats, in the first half of 2008, will be conducted at Gunnebah Retreat Centre in the beautiful Tweed Valley in northern New South Wales. 

Established on 6 acres nestled in the foothills of the McPherson Range, and with spectacular views to Mt Warning, Gunnebah is a delightful and invigorating setting for the retreats.

Gunnebah offers guests a secluded & tranquil environment in which to relax and unwind from the stresses of everyday life.

Best of all for Sense the Tango workshop participants, Gunnebah boasts a stunning hall ideal for learning Argentine Tango.

The property is surrounded by lush subtropical and native gardens with a delightful sparkling saltwater swimming pool.

Gunnebah provides a mix of double, twin and cottage accommodation for couples and singles, with shared facilities.

The centre's menu of vegan and vegetarian dishes is nourishing and delicious, and prepared with love and inspiration.
