ABOUT US
StressBuster Retreats has been operating successfully since 1999 and change is in the air. Mary is relinquishing her roll and handing over the management of Valley Vistas Retreat to her two lovely daughters Paula and Mary-Lyn who have also moved with their families from the Northern Territory and have recently settled locally.
The delightful Paula will be your first contact in reception and will co-ordinate your specific requirements to make your stay with us special. The equally delightful Mary-Lyn will ensure that your needs are met with regards to your treatments and therapies. Mary will continue in her roll as C.M.R and Transpersonal Arts Facilitator and will also host your overnight accommodation. All in all you can expect the services that you enjoyed in the past to be all the more enjoyable.
We look forward to welcoming our past and future guests to relax and de-stress with Australia's first Stress Buster Retreat!
Personal History
Originally from Melbourne as a child. In 1995 Mary became a finalist in the ABC Radio Rural woman of the year awards. Nominated for her 42 years of experience in the livestock, transport and helicopter industries in the Northern Territory, she was then elected as part of a group, to work at Parliament house in Canberra to improve rural conditions and the position of women.
Mary raised her family in isolated situations which often called for resourcefulness and ingenuity to enable her to support both her family and business'. Finally in retirement and in pursuit of a dream, in June 1999 Mary arrived in the Gold Coast Hinterland to establish Stressbuster Retreats Australia @ Valley Vistas.

Personal Statement
"By providing the Valley Vistas experience, I am offering to share with you the peace and tranquillity I find in the Australian Bush. I also offer a balance of nurturing and pampering along with the available fun and excitement of the local attractions and facilities.
Believe me, after my experiences in the Livestock, Helicopter, and Transport Industries, I know what stress is! Thankfully over the past 15 years I have had the opportunity to learn to nurture myself and balance my life.
My dream is to share this beautiful and empowering experience with the many kindred spirits who pass my way.
Please relax and enjoy this part of your journey."
Mary Groves, Stressbuster Retreats Australia at Valley Vistas.
