Blessed by aboriginal elders and gifted in perpetuity, our property Mayumarri was chosen to ensure a safe space for survivors. Mayumarri was officially opened by the then Governor-General, Sir William Deane, in October 1999 and is set on 200 acres at Quorrobolong, near Cessnock in New South Wales, Australia. This is where Adult Programs are delivered. The land was named ‘Mayumarri’, an aboriginal word meaning ‘Peace’. In 1999 the main service building was built, with a large open plan lounge and dining area, a huge communal kitchen, pantry and cool room, dining area, and chapel – all with sweeping views across the dam and valley.

Over the years extra facilities have been added including a barn for workshops involving creative therapy. There are several shared accommodation cabins, each with its own bathroom. The cabins are situated around 20 metres from the main building. There are two balconies off each cabin. Cabins are furnished to provide guests with a homely, relaxed, comforting environment to wind down and enjoy the natural surrounds. 

All beds are single beds and guests are requested to bring their own linen and towels and any bathroom supplies.  We recommend one towel for the bathroom and one for swimming in the dam. Linen can be provided for a fee. Laundry facilities are not available so guests are asked to bring enough clothes and towels to last the week.
