Boutique farm retreat in the Dandenong Ranges offering animal encounters, nature walks through bush trails, breathwork retreats, and cottage accommodation. Animals roam close to the cabin and are accessible throughout the stay.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families with young children who want a nature-focused escape close to Melbourne, particularly those who value wildlife interaction woven into a relaxed stay rather than a timed attraction. Three young children were catered for across bush trails and animal encounters in one review.

βI attended the breath-work and sound healing day with Bek and Elise at Nurture Creek. I had never done anything like this before, so wasnβt sure what to expect but I am so glad I went. The combination of Bekβs breathwork guidance and Eliseβs beautiful music and voice, the stillness and tranquility had a huge impact on my mind and body. I left feeling calm, clear and excited to return. The animals were beautiful and walking around the property was so peaceful, even in the rain! The food was incredible and itβs clear how much care and intention is behind each part of the day. Highly recommend.β

βI attended a recent retreat with Bek at Nurture Creek and it was really great experience. We had a breathwork and sound session, a wander through nature, connection with the animals and a lovely dinner with everyone. The location is so beautiful- tucked away on a farm away from the hustle and bustle. I drove home feeling calm, grounded and very connected. Highly recommend if you wanted to centre yourself, connect with others, nature and escape the daily grind.β

βNurture Creek is such a wonderful place for both peaceful nature walks and heartwarming animal encounters. We went with our 3 young kids and all loved the bush trails, how close the animals are to the cabin, the peace and privacy, Bekβs warm personality, and most importantly the super friendly endearing animals. Great location for visiting other Dandenongs spots too.β
