Guest Accommodation in the Main House

In the main house at Vejjasala are 3 single bedrooms and 4 twin bedrooms. One of the twin bedrooms has an accessible en suite. There are shared bathroom facilities for the other bedrooms and kutis. If you are coming to Vejjasala with a friend or carer you can request a twin room which will be provided if possible. If you require an accessible room/bathroom please indicate on the form and we will do our best to arrange this.

Kutis

Vejjasala contains four kutis in various locations on the cleared grass areas (several kutis in perimeter bushland were lost in the bushfires of Jan 2020). Each kuti is sparsely furnished with a single bed, a table and a chair. Each has a small deck with a hanging space for rain jackets and storage of shoes. There is no heating, cooking or toilet facilities in the kutis. Each kuti has its own solar powered light and has two windows for cross ventilation. If staying in a kuti, you will need to walk to the main house to use the shared bathroom facilities. If this will cause you difficulty and there are no places available in the main house, please contact the retreat coordinator.

Kutis 2 and 3
These two kutis are to the east of the main Vejjasala building in an open clearing. They are the easiest to access and are ideal for those wishing to try out the kuti experience. While they are relatively close the the main building they are far enough away to experience quietude.
