Location

The Abbey is located on Raymond Island, accessible via a ferry from Paynesville across the McMillan Strait. The property spans several acres of bushland, providing direct proximity to a unique environment where koalas, kangaroos, and diverse bird species can be observed. This site is part of the Gunaikurnai people's traditional homeland.

Accommodation

The Abbey offers eight self-contained motel rooms, each featuring a queen bed and a single bed, accommodating up to three guests. For larger groups, the West Cottage provides a home base with three bedrooms, each holding a double bed and an extra single. Accessible rooms are available to cater for guests with mobility challenges.

Retreat and Learning Facilities

The facility is designed for personal retreats, providing five separate rooms aimed at individual reflection and spirituality. Guests can make use of the well-equipped A-frame dining and meeting place, which accommodates up to 80 people. Additional gathering spaces like the Illawarra Conference Room can host up to 40 participants, complete with kitchenette access.

Spiritual and Recreational Offerings

The Abbey encourages reflection and meditation in its historic Chapel, a 106-year-old heritage building open for private prayer daily. Eucharist services are available weekly, inviting all to join in the spiritual community. Additionally, the grounds allow guests to engage with nature through various conservation activities and guided retreats.

Environmental Commitment

The Abbey prioritizes environmental preservation, and the surrounding land safeguards ecosystems supporting migratory birds and native flora. Guests are invited to contribute to the site's sustainability through volunteering or donations. The commitment to caring for God's creation is central to the Abbey's mission.
