Guests staying in-house also have access to two shared kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces — Bethany and Crombie. A large main dining room is also available for guests to gather and share meals.

Practical needs are well supported, with two laundry rooms equipped with washing machines and dryers, making longer stays easy and convenient.

Spiritual and reflective needs are also cared for. House guests are welcome to visit the small and peaceful Crombie Chapel, while our main chapel provides a larger sacred space for prayer, gatherings, or quiet contemplation.

Please see the full range of options as outlined in the Accommodation Brochure.
