Conservation of Water and Electricity

All our water is tank water. Please use carefully. Please be mindful and turn off lights, heaters and fans, whenever they are not in use.

Fire Danger

We are very concerned about safety. Atisha Centre is located in a fire risk area so it is necessary to avoid all danger of bushfires. It is forbidden to use camping gas, or to light fires, candles, incense or mosquito coils in any of the accommodation facilities or designated camping areas.
Please, no fire / flames anywhere on Atisha Centre land. See Atisha Centre site-map.

Smoking: This is a smoke-free environment. We do not allow smoking anywhere on-site.

Preventive Health: We share our beautiful bushland environment with a variety of native animals, birds and insects – some of whom may present a danger to us when encountered unexpectedly. To prevent problems with insects, spiders and snakes please ensure that tents and bags, etc. are securely closed, and shake out shoes and clothing before putting them on. Please keep the screen doors to the accommodation block shut.

Grounds: You are welcome to walk anywhere within the bounds of the Atisha Centre/Monastery/Nunnery/Great Stupa land.

Please address any enquiries or concerns to the Office staff.

There is a number of residents living onsite. In case of any problems, emergencies or other concerns, you can always call on these people. Contact information is available at check-in.
