Accommodation

Gunnebah accommodates all guests in private rooms in our charming mudbrick bungalows. Most rooms open out onto covered patios, with outdoor furniture and native gardens. Each room is simple, clean and attractive with comfortable beds and storage space. Bathrooms and toilets are shared.

Hall

Our spacious hall is 180 sq metres with wooden flooring, ample windows giving air and light, great acoustics, ceiling fans and a wood fire.

This is usually where we have yoga classes and activities such as African drumming. See some of our activities (towards the bottom of our program page).

The hall’s large, magnificent wooden doors open up to a level space for outdoor activities, leading down to a magical creek (home to turtles and platypus) and an outdoor fire pit.

Consultation and Therapy Rooms

Private consultation locations are set away from the other buildings for individual counselling or therapy sessions. Take a look at the counsellors in Our Team.

Lounge & Dining

Gunnebah’s lounge and dining area is its ‘community’ hub. Built well away from the hall and accommodation, to create a separate social space, it is perfect for chatting, listening to music, games, reading and dining. Built from mud bricks, with exquisite stained glass it holds great charm and character.

Our outdoor eating area provides diners with a relaxed, natural environment overlooking the garden. Spaces include year-round ‘indoor/outdoor’ enclosed and weatherproof dining areas, as well as outdoor café style tables and chairs.

Inside, there is an ample servery area, a hot drink station, and a lounge area with comfortable couches, fireplace, coffee table, an interesting library (with everything from novels to self-help books) and a DVD collection.

Catering

Nutrition is one of the key elements of your recovery and Gunnebah takes pride in providing a wide variety of delicious and healthy meals. In addition to eating healthy food, you are welcome to join in the cooking process, if desired. The hot drink station hosts a wide range of delicious black, green and herbal teas and coffee.

Pool

One of Gunnebah’s most popular features is our resort-style saltwater swimming pool. It is surrounded by sub-tropical gardens and places to relax.

Walks

Walk through lush fields or along our quiet street, passing contented cows, streams and natural forest. As a no-through-road, it has little traffic.

A short drive away are beautiful beaches and national parks, including the iconic Mount Warning (which is the first place in Australia to see the sunrise). We will make sure that you have the chance to climb Mt Warning during your stay.

Produce Garden

Gunnebah has abundant produce gardens, with a range of fruit (paw paw, pineapple, mandarins, grapes, avocados, banana), vegetables (lettuce, potatoes, herbs, zucchini, rocket, broccoli, tomatoes) and edible flowers. You are welcome to get your hands dirty and experience gardening as a working meditation within your program.

Farm Animals

We have chickens, goats, cows and friendly dogs. They are all part of the experience at Gunnebah. There is great therapeutic value in connecting with animals. If you want to, you can also learn about how to care for them and help out in this aspect of farm life.
