Peaceful Places

Carmel is unique in that it is a Spiritual haven of peace and tranquillity, offering our guests a sanctuary to find fulfilment and Spiritual refreshment in a beautiful environment close to nature and the heart of God. The various quiet places in our gardens provide places of retreat where guests can still their hearts and minds and open themselves to communion and restoration with Almighty God.

FOUNDER’S REST

Situated under the trees and just above the Chapel with one of the best views over Victoria Bay, Founders Rest is dedicated to Carmel’s founders, Jack and Kaye, who established Carmel in 1954, and contributed many years of sacrifice and service to make Carmel the place of peace and beauty that it is today. This is our tribute to them, and our recognition of their selfless service in God’s kingdom.

BY STILL WATERS

With it’s calming influence of running water, the water feature in the shelter of the chapel, and overlooking the same magnificent view lends special significance to the move of the Spirit, bring new life and refreshing the soul.

GORDON’S REST

A special structure dedicated to the memory of our beloved brother, Gordon Edgar, this is one of the most favourite places at Carmel. We are grateful to the sponsors of this inspirational place of refuge as a meeting place with our awesome Creator and His magnificent creation.

CHAPEL OUTLOOK

Below the chapel in the cool, tranquil, shaded retreat, overlooking our famous view and surrounded by the vibrant colour and variety of Gods creation, guests can find comfort, and allow their hearts to be filled with the awesome wonder of God’s power and unconditional love.
