Why choose Gunnebah?
Choosing a rehab is hard. They all promise the same thing: personalised care, a calming space and lasting recovery.
It all blurs together, and you’re left guessing. With a 10 year track record and a 4.9 star rating on Google, we know what really matters. Here’s what sets Gunnebah apart:
The best value rehab in Australia.
There are around 30 rehabs in Australia, with the average cost being $2,000 a day. Gunnebah is significantly less, at $790.
Not by cutting corners, but by leaving out expensive extras that look nice and don’t change outcomes.
Luxuries won’t help you beat addiction but can add a lot to the cost of a program. A highly qualified team and the right program, in a place that’s comfortable and private, will. That’s what we do.
On-site psychiatrist, therapist and doctors.
Most rehabs give you a therapist. Few have a doctor on site, and very few have a psychiatrist. We have all three.
This makes a huge difference, because addiction is a mental health condition, not just a chemical one.
There’s almost always something deeper driving it. We help you understand what that is and treat the cause, rather than just managing the symptoms. That’s what gives you the best chance at change that actually lasts.
Private rooms with air conditioning
Recovery can be heavy, and deeply personal. Many private rehabs ask you to share a room, which as you can imagine, would be quite intimidating. We don’t.
At Gunnebah, everyone gets their own private, fully air-conditioned room. We believe you need your privacy, and healing is easier when somewhere is actually yours.
30 mins from Gold Coast airport.
Gunnebah gives you privacy and convenience.
Situated in the hills of Northern New South Wales, it’s surrounded by nature and far enough out to feel completely private, whilst still being only half an hour from the airport. This makes getting here easy and affordable.
It also means you’re never fully cut off. If family need to visit or something urgent comes up or you need services, you’re close enough to make it simple.
Don't just take our word for it. Compare us to the rest, and you'll see why Gunnebah is the best value private rehab in Australia.
Rated 5 Stars by Guests
A warm place to heal, not a hospital.
A lot of people picture rehab as cold and clinical, or somewhere intense and intimidating. That fear can be exactly what keeps them from getting help for too long.
Gunnebah isn’t like that. It’s a warm, calm and genuinely supportive place, designed to feel less like somewhere you’re being treated, and more like somewhere you can finally breathe.
Recovery is hard enough. Where you do it shouldn’t make it harder.
It’s why so many of our guests tell us the same thing afterwards: “If I’d known it was going to be like this, I would’ve come a long time ago.”

What does rehab at Gunnebah cost?
$790 per day, all inclusive with no hidden costs, well under the $2,000 most private rehabs charge.
Our program runs for a minimum of 28 days, and most guests choose to stay longer. For many people, the bigger cost is letting addiction continue.
So if money is what’s holding you back, it’s worth knowing there are often ways to help cover a stay.
Depending on your situation, that might mean self-funding, a DVA pathway if you’re an eligible veteran, early release of Super where you meet the criteria, or WorkCover and referral pathways where they apply.
If you’re not sure what you’d be eligible for, have a confidential chat and we’ll help you work it out.
Private Rehab FAQ
How much does it cost, and what's included?
Gunnebah is $790 a day, all inclusive with no hidden costs. That covers your accommodation, meals, medical and clinical care, therapy, activities and aftercare planning. There are funding pathways available too, including DVA for eligible veterans and early release of superannuation in some cases.
How long will I stay?
Our program runs for a minimum of 28 days, though we encourage 12 weeks where you can manage it. Research shows longer stays give a much better shot at lasting recovery, so we start at 28 days to balance what works with what’s realistic for your life.
Where is Gunnebah?
We’re in the Gold Coast hinterland, surrounded by nature, about 30 minutes from Gold Coast airport. It’s private and secluded but easy to reach, and we can arrange an airport pickup when you arrive.
Do you help with mental health as well as addiction?
Yes. Addiction rarely sits on its own, so our on-site GP and psychiatrist support co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression and trauma alongside your treatment. We’re not an acute mental health facility, so we can’t take serious unmanaged mental illness, but for most people the two go hand in hand and we treat them together.
What's the difference between detox and rehab?
Detox is the process of safely clearing substances from your body, usually over about a week. Rehab includes detox where needed, then goes further, building the tools and habits to stay well long after you leave. We provide medical detox on site where it’s appropriate.
Can my family be involved?
Yes, where it helps. Family involvement is part of the program when it’s appropriate, and our location makes visits simple if you need them close.
Is it confidential?
Completely. Your enquiry and your stay are private. Many of our guests are professionals and parents who need discretion, and we treat it that way from the first phone call.
What happens after I leave?
Recovery doesn’t end at discharge. Every guest leaves with a structured aftercare plan and ongoing support, because lasting change is the whole point.
