OUR LOCATION
Discreet and Private Healing in the Heart of the Dandenong Ranges
Recovery in complete privacy, surrounded by nature
Set within the lush Dandenong Ranges, every aspect of Stonehurst is designed to remove noise, stress, and external triggers. Floor-to-ceiling views of native forest create a calming backdrop for recovery, while the quiet, secluded location ensures complete confidentiality.
The distance from Melbourne is close enough for accessibility, yet far enough to create true separation — a critical factor for executives needing space to reset both mentally and physically.
There are opportunities for mindfulness and meditation, art therapy, day spas and so much more. Take advantage of our beautiful environment and world-class facilities in a way that works best for you.
