Stay in simple but cozy rooms
Happy Buddha Retreats has set up its rooms with simplicity in mind, perfect for a restful night's sleep or an afternoon nap. If you’re participating in the Inner Joy program, you’ll be in the retreat center, and rooms are twin-share with an ensuite bathroom. Rooms have ceiling fans for the warmer months, and when the weather gets chilly, the central heating will be at the ready. There is also a very friendly communal house cat, so please note if you have allergies.
Program
There’s something deeply healing that happens when women gather. Held under the light of the full moon, the Full Moon Women’s Retreat is your invitation to pause, exhale, and return to yourself. It’s a chance to soften into your body, express your creativity, and feel seen in a circle of like-minded women.
Through gentle movement, soulful sharing, and nourishing rituals, you’ll be invited to reconnect with your feminine essence — and let your inner glow rise to the surface.

Over the course of the weekend, you’ll explore practices designed to inspire rest, reflection, and a sense of renewal.
You’ll enjoy:
- Yoga and gentle movement to reconnect body and breath
- Women’s circles to share, listen, and be supported
- Creative exploration through Soul Card creation and intuition
- Full moon ritual to let go and call in your light
- Nature connection to the ground and reawaken your senses

Retreat location
A million miles from anywhere, but not far from Sydney
Looking to experience an amazing yoga and meditation retreat close to Sydney? Despite giving the impression that you are far from civilization, the retreat center is only a 90-minute drive from Sydney, meaning you can easily factor in a short retreat experience!
Happy Buddha Retreats is situated in a beautiful bushland setting within the historic Blue Mountains town of Wentworth Falls. The Blue Mountains National Park begins approximately 80 kilometers from Sydney’s central business district (CBD) and is a popular weekend destination. Sydney residents go there to enjoy bush walks, native forests, waterfalls, and lakes.
The retreat center is also just a two to four-minute drive from the main township of Wentworth Falls.
Wentworth Falls town was established in 1814 by European settlers. However, carbon dating indicates that the traditional owners of the land are the Gundungurra People, who have been on the land for over 22,000 years. As such, Happy Buddha Retreats pays its respect to the traditional owners, past and present, of the beautiful Blue Mountains by respecting the nature and community in which they reside.

How to get there
Recommended Airports
Transfer not provided
Sydney Airport (Kingsford Smith Airport)
77 km away from your destination
Arrival by airplane
Many of Happy Buddha Retreats' guests come from other locations within Australia for a short break. In addition, some guests come directly from international flights for some rest and relaxation at the beginning of their holiday.
Fortunately, getting to the retreat from Sydney airport is simple via the use of highways and toll roads. Traveling by train or car to Wentworth Falls via the airport adds very little extra travel time, owing to Sydney Airport being very close to the city.
Arrival by train
Whilst Wentworth Falls has a train station, Happy Buddha Retreats recommends catching the train to either Leura or Katoomba for ease of catching a taxi. The train trip is a single two-hour train trip (approximately) from Sydney’s CBD.
Depending on where you choose to arrive, you’ll be able to book a taxi, which will then be a five to ten-minute drive to the retreat. Otherwise, the retreat centre is just a 15-minute walk from the Wentworth Falls Station. Please note this walk goes up and downhill, is not lit, and there is no sidewalk for most of it. We only recommend it for fit walkers, carrying little luggage.
The Blue Mountains Line is an air-conditioned train, departing hourly from Sydney’s Central Station and more regularly during peak commuter times. You may also join the train at other stops along the line or connect to Central Station via the train network.
The train has toilets, upholstered seats, limited bike parking, and a silent carriage. It does not have a meal or food service. Commuters use the train, so you may prefer to travel outside of peak hours.
The first and last carriages on the train are “silent carriages.” This means that you will not be able to talk or make phone calls in these carriages. It is quite a peaceful way to begin and end your retreat experience.
Please check with Transport NSW if you require elevators, as not all NSW stations have these. Travelling by train is an affordable and relaxed option. For more information about fares and to check that there are no delays or track maintenance, check the NSW Transport website. In the event of track maintenance or significant delay, Transport NSW will provide bus alternatives for the affected portion of your trip.
Central Station is also the best location to begin coach or bus tours to the Blue Mountains. There are several offices of bus and travel companies located in the Central Station. If you’re coming from the airport, the train is still a great option, owing to convenient connections between the airport and central train stations. There is a regular 10-minute train trip between both Sydney’s domestic and international airports, which connects with Central Station.
Once at Central Station, you can catch the hourly Blue Mountains Line train to either Leura or Katoomba.
Arrival by car
Wentworth Falls is approximately 80 kilometers from Sydney’s CBD, and the journey by car takes around 90 minutes. Their address is 50 Railway Parade, Wentworth Falls. The trip is an easy one to make, even for out-of-town guests not familiar with Sydney’s roads. This is because there is one long road (Parramatta Road) connecting via several highways, tunnels, and toll roads from the CBD directly to Wentworth Falls.
In addition, only the last section of the trip is a mountain road. However, the mountain road is wide, well-sealed, and easy to drive on. And, you won’t miss any turn-offs between Sydney CBD and Wentworth Falls because there aren’t any. What’s more, the last 20 to 30 minutes is enjoyable for passengers as it takes in native bush views as the road takes you to 867-meter elevation.
Once you reach the historic town of Wentworth Falls, you might like to refer to your satellite navigation. Happy Buddha Retreats is a simple two to four-minute drive from the center of Wentworth Falls via Railway Parade.
What’s more, the retreat has complementary parking for your vehicle during your stay. If you’re on time, you should get a parking spot at the retreat center in the allocated car spots. If all have been taken, please drive back up towards the entry gate, where you can park on the left in an additional designated area. The retreat also has plenty of safe off-street parking for your vehicle during your stay.
If you wish to self-drive, you will find that it is a straightforward 90-minute drive from the airport. Sydney domestic and international airports have all the global and some local car hire firms. You will take a ring road (M5) and then connect to the main M4 highway, which leads directly to Wentworth Falls.
