Hills and Ranges Private Retreat

About Hills and Ranges Private Retreat

Hills and Ranges Private Retreat is a discreet residential rehabilitation centre in Olinda, surrounded by the forests and mountain scenery of Victoria’s Dandenong Ranges. The intimate setting is designed for people seeking privacy, personalised attention and a comfortable alternative to an institutional treatment environment. Treatment addresses substance use, behavioural addictions, trauma and co-occurring mental health concerns through an individualised combination of psychological care, counselling and structured daily support. HARP’s proprietary 5i Recovery Curriculum incorporates principles from cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, trauma-informed care and abstinence-based recovery programmes. Family work, relapse prevention and practical lifestyle planning can also be included according to each client’s needs. Clinical treatment is complemented by holistic and experiential services such as mindfulness, yoga, personal training, nutrition counselling, art and music therapy, equine activities, massage and nature-based recreation. The programme aims to support emotional insight, physical wellbeing, healthier routines and the development of sustainable coping skills. Private and shared accommodation, chef-prepared meals, work-friendly spaces and concierge transfers help clients remain comfortable while focusing on recovery. Located approximately 45 minutes from central Melbourne, the retreat combines access to specialist support with the restorative atmosphere of the Dandenong Ranges. Medical detoxification may be coordinated off-site when clinically required, and continuing support is available through HARP’s aftercare services.
