Let’s make the most of the warmth while it lasts! This April, we return to Shoreham for a rejuvenating & joyful weekend on the Mornington Peninsula. Our home for this getaway is the magnificent Atlas Retreat, just over an hour from Melbourne where the bush meets the sea. Atlas Retreat was truly made for Mat & Table. It’s stylish, modern, & only a two minute walk from the secluded Shoreham Beach. It features five luxurious bedrooms (each with their own ensuite), a spacious yoga room, an open space kitchen, a shared living & dining area, a hot tub & heated pool, and an outdoor cabana house perfect for massages.
Our mornings will start with feel-good flows, warm cuppas & a full breakfast spread. During the day, you’ll have plenty of time sunbathe by the pool or beach, explore the peninsula’s surf coast, or visit one of the world-class wineries at our doorstep. Evenings will be spent around the table together swapping stories, tasting regional flavours & pouring local wine.
Saturday afternoon, beloved Melbourne ceramicist, Alicia McVilly will guide us through a Canapés, Chianti & Clay workshop. Each guest will learn clay handbuilding skills from Alicia and create pieces that will be fired, glazed & delivered post Mat & Table.
On Sunday, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner Courtney Fisher will guide us through a workshop on incorporating Gua Sha tools at home for moments of self-care. You’ve undoubtedly seen the Gua Sha tool before: sleek, smooth, and often created from gemstones like jade or rose quartz. While it’s a cute tool, it’s actually quite effective and used often by TCM practitioners to relieve muscular tension (note to self: unclench your jaw). It’s perfect for those with tight muscles, sluggish circulation, and tech necks.
Your private chef for the weekend is Melbourne hospitality legend & menu curator, Tori Bicknell! Tori has been passionately creating delicious meals for most of her life. She has cooked for beloved Melbourne hotspots such as The Stokehouse, Townmouse, & Stagger Lees before becoming a co-owner/Head Chef at Rustica Sourdough & then Executive Chef at ST. ALi. She has also studied nutritional medicine & is passionate about healthy & delicious meals that nourish the soul.
Just bring your mat- we’ll set the table!
