Because we have guests staying here on the property as their accommodations for vacations and retreats we do not allow our volunteer staff or employees to have any guests on the property. The pool is for your use only when guests are not on site.. this is a tranquil quiet environment so it is not appropriate for social gatherings or parties. However, we are only 2 km from town where you can go and have all the fun and parties you want!
