Find Peace in the heart of the Southern Highlands
Set on tranquil grounds in Burradoo, Hartzer Park offers a serene sanctuary for groups—just 90 minutes from Sydney.
Hartzer Park is more than a retreat centre, it's a peaceful haven where groups step away from everyday noise and reconnect with what matters most. Owned and operated by the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (OLSH Sisters), we welcome retreat groups, schools, wellness communities, and couples seeking a sacred wedding space.
