Reviews for Mary MacKillop Spirituality Centre - Baulkham Hills
Ivan Wolfy
They have many guest lounges and some dining tables. I managed to locate laundry and TV rooms. Place is a maze. Bed was firm and comfy.
Jesse
Decent rates, great location, and most important for me, fantastic beds! There are little kitchenettes and dining areas at the end of each hallway. Breakfast free breakfast is sufficient and more than enough of it. I have stayed here a few times over the last few months and have had no cause to look anywhere else for accommodation. Highly recommended.
Eddie Piet
Wonderful place for your company's events, be it a retreat or conference. Quiet and serene grounds, rooms are comfortable and clean and delicious food. Take the time to explore the history of the Josephites. Lovely visit.
Chris
We stayed at the Mary MacKillop Spirituality Centre over Christmas and felt very much at home. Don't let first impressions fool you – the service is absolutely fabulous! The facilities in the rooms and throughout the building are outstanding and well-maintained. They also provide a breakfast which is perfectly fine and sufficient. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again!
Urmila DCunha
A beautiful tranquil retreat centre, with great facilities and wonderful service. It was an absolute pleasure working with the admin team - who patiently addressed every question I had. Nothing was ever too hard for them. The sisters who assisted us with mass prep were generous with their time and suggestions. Having a chapel on site- what a bonus The food was perfect - homely and nourishing The meeting rooms were fantastic and the outdoors just perfect for a retreat. Hard to imagine a place as tranquil as this exists in Sydney. Highly recommend for retreats or conferences - day or overnight.
