A place with a story.

Temple Retreat is a private ten-acre sanctuary in Pullenvale, just 20 minutes from Brisbane, created as a place to slow down, come together and experience something a little different.

From quiet weekends and intimate celebrations to team retreats, workshops and creative projects, Temple has evolved into a space that can be shaped around the people who gather here.

It started with a vision for something more.

In 2005, Tanya and Peter Cameron moved their family from Sydney to Brisbane in search of a quieter way of life, settling on four acres in Pullenvale.

For years, Tanya taught yoga in borrowed spaces while holding onto a dream of creating somewhere of her own. A place where people could step away from the noise of everyday life, reconnect and feel genuinely supported.

When the neighbouring ten-acre property became available in 2019, that vision finally had somewhere to take shape.

Tanya and Peter purchased the property and began transforming its collection of historic buildings into what would become Temple Retreat.

Restored with care. Made for a new chapter.

Temple Retreat is made up of a collection of beautifully restored 1940s army barracks, originally built for Camp Columbia at Wacol.

Today, those buildings form the accommodation, studio and gathering spaces that sit across the property, retaining the character of their original hardwood floors and heritage details while being thoughtfully adapted for contemporary use.

Slow down. Breathe. Connect.

The original philosophy behind Temple Retreat still sits at the heart of the property.

There is space here to pause. To think differently. To gather with people who matter. To celebrate. To create. To move, rest and reconnect.

What began as a vision rooted in yoga and wellbeing has grown into a place that welcomes many different kinds of experiences, while keeping that same sense of calm, privacy and intention.

Designed to be experienced in different ways.

Today, Temple is defined by a few things:

Private by nature
Ten acres of gardens and native bushland create a sense of space, seclusion and calm.

Close to Brisbane
Just 20 minutes from the city, Temple feels removed without being difficult to reach.

Thoughtfully restored
Historic buildings have been carefully adapted into accommodation, studio and gathering spaces while retaining their original character.

Flexible by design
The property can shift between quiet stays, intimate celebrations, focused team days, facilitated retreats and creative projects.

Grounded in wellbeing
Yoga and wellbeing remain part of Temple’s foundation, shaping the way the property feels even when that is not the reason guests have come.

Close to Brisbane. Surrounded by nature.

Temple Retreat sits in a quiet valley in Pullenvale, surrounded by established gardens, native bushland and views towards Moggill State Forest.

It is close enough to Brisbane to be easy, yet once you arrive, it feels much further away.
