Hills and Ranges Private Retreat

About Hills and Ranges Private Retreat

At Hills & Ranges Private, the team holds the view that recovery doesn’t require a hospital setting or a clinical, impersonal approach. They focus on delivering a first-class treatment experience in a 5-star environment, where the outcomes of clients are treated as the measure of success. Support continues long after a stay at HARP, and forms an essential part of their program.

The HARP 5i curriculum provides current, evidence-based learning focused on addiction and mental health. Built by their own counselling and clinical team, the 5i Recovery Process is based on internationally respected abstinence-driven methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). It is organised into a structured five-module education pathway that Hills and Ranges Private can apply to different people and different levels of addiction, with the aim of helping each individual make lasting progress.

Set among the calm, green landscapes of Mt. Dandenong, HARP Retreat limits capacity to just nine clients, supported by a 2:1 staff-to-client ratio. They deliver trauma-informed care and customised treatment for CEOs, actors, athletes, and celebrities across a wide range of needs. Hills and Ranges Private designs care plans individually, combining counselling and psychological support with their patented 5i® Recovery Treatment Program. Many members of the team are in recovery themselves, which helps create a setting free from judgment and grounded in empathy and lived experience. Clients benefit from a clear daily structure that includes routines, responsibilities, and practical tasks. The centre emphasises that consistent structure and accountability help strengthen self-discipline and build healthier habits—key elements of long-term recovery.

HARP employs a multidisciplinary team including doctors, nurses, psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, and facilitators, working with clients both one-on-one and in small groups. The program also includes personal trainers, dietary therapists, health and wellness coaches, plus an art therapist, music therapist, and mindfulness, meditation, and yoga instructors. Through their HARP app, the aftercare program supports ongoing engagement: clients complete daily check-ins with a counsellor and join weekly group and individual counselling sessions. They use scheduled calls and meetings to build a detailed exit strategy and document short-, medium-, and long-term goals. Exercise and nutrition planning are guided by the personal trainer and dietician, and where appropriate, Hills and Ranges Private can include family or couples counselling.

Hills and Range Private provides a secure facility designed to support a high-end, discreet recovery experience for professionals and other clients who need flexibility alongside their work commitments. The Mt. Dandenong retreat is located about 45 minutes from Melbourne CBD and features private ensuite accommodation. All-inclusive offerings include fine dining, meditation and mindfulness, personal training in a private gym, a day spa, equine therapy, and a jacuzzi spa. Additional amenities include a plunge spa, a movie theatre, and direct access to the Dandenong Rainforest waterfalls and walking trails. From transport to aftercare, every part of the recovery journey is planned to help protect anonymity during and after treatment.
