Hello wonderful Gwinganna community,

I'm Melanie James, and I'm thrilled to connect with you and express my deep appreciation for the special place Gwinganna holds in so many hearts. Gwinganna is more than a retreat—it's a sanctuary for healing, connection, and transformation. Having served as Spa & Wellness Director for over six years, I know how meaningful this space is for your wellness journey.

My vision is to enhance what makes Gwinganna extraordinary. In the coming months, we’ll introduce exciting initiatives, including:

  • Expanded wildlife care efforts
  • Innovative, expert-led retreats and wellness technology
  • Oden ice bath for cold therapy
  • Refreshed guest rooms
  • Immersive harvest-to-plate garden tours

I look forward to continuing this journey with you.

—Melanie James
