Wu Lin is a purpose-built Martial and Healing Arts retreat, tucked away in the centre of Victoria (at the base of the Cobaw Forest 4kms out of the Lancefield township).

This 20-acre sanctuary is the perfect place to pause on life's journey, for rejuvenation of mind, body and spirit.

Whether you visit for its peaceful ambience on a weekend getaway, or for the learning of Martial Arts wisdom - or both - it will be an unforgettable and positive experience.

About the Design of Wu Lin Retreat

The name 'Wu Lin' Retreat literally means Martial Forest Retreat, and its design has been influenced by traditional Chinese villages and the Shaolin Temple.

Hand built by the owners and dear friends, each mud brick and piece of recycled timber has been lovingly and thoughtfully positioned to create an ambient atmosphere for guests and visitors.

The Dojo (Training Hall)

As you enter the Dojo, you will pass through 400-year-old Chinese monastery doors that conceal stories of the Cultural Revolution.

There you will find the Dojo's sprung polished floor area with mirrors and training equipment to facilitate lessons; and equally a beautiful hall to meditate/pray or reflect.

The Guest Rooms

If staying overnight, the Wu Lin Retreat provides four semi-detached units with separate bathroom facilities.

These units are available by arrangement for those wishing to stay or study particular items of training or just rest.

Two rooms have tatami floors for Japanese style sleeping and two rooms have antique Chinese furniture and polished baltic floors.

Come to release the stress and pressures of daily life to increase vitality and re-establish harmony in your life.
