What people have said about staying with us
“The Retreat Centre is the perfect place for reflection, peace and connecting with nature. The accommodation and amenities are very comfortable and the beautifully maintained gardens and surrounding rural properties are a sanctuary for birds, kangaroos and horses. My stay allowed me quiet time to integrate the Shanti Mission teachings and healings, but would be just as appropriate for someone just looking for some time out. The ‘shortcut’ walk to the Abode of Peace Ashram across the horse paddocks, is another opportunity to connect with nature. I would absolutely recommend the Retreat Centre”. – Bruce, Cairns Qld.
