Personal Retreats • Winter 2024-2025

Naramata Centre is an inclusive, welcoming place to connect and deepen in mind, body and spirit. You’ve discovered a family retreat centre which has been part of the Naramata community since 1947. We are known for our summer programs as well as our simple, clean and humble accommodations and campgrounds. Situated on 17 acres on the east shore of Lake Okanagan, the Centre provides a peaceful oasis to play, relax, grow and be authentically one’s self. If you’re looking for a peaceful refuge away from crowds and the hustle and bustle of the city, we might be exactly what you’re looking for!

Personal retreats are available between October 22, 2024 and April 21, 2025 with a minimum stay of 2 nights and a maximum of 21 nights.

Accommodations are the Orchard Courts:

4 suites (12 bedrooms) with three bedrooms; each bedroom has 2 twin beds and an ensuite bathroom with shower. There is a shared kitchen and dining/sitting area in each suite. Note – four of the Orchard Court bedrooms – one in each suite – are barrier-free with expanded doorways and slide-in showers.

• Capacity per unit: 1-2 people per bedroom; (3-6 people per suite).
• Total capacity: Four suites with 3 bedrooms per suite; 12-24 guests.
• Pricing per room per night: $90 + tax

Things you should know:

• It’s possible, although not necessarily probable, that if you are renting a partial suite (one or two bedrooms), you may end up sharing the kitchen/sitting area of your suite with another guest who has booked the remaining bedroom(s).
• Meals are not provided at the Centre. You’ll have a full kitchen at your disposal as well as local eateries.
• With the exception of certified service animals, pets are not allowed in Orchard Court or the Chapel.
• Each room is provided with bed linens, pillows, quilt, and towels – “retreat style” which means you can set things up to suit yourself:  make your own bed and hang your towels just the way you prefer. Plan to bring your own shampoo and hair dryer.
• The Orchard Court kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, stove, electric kettle, toaster, microwave, and coffeemaker.
• Plates, bowls, glasses, cups, cutlery and basic cooking utensils are provided.
• Be sure to bring your favourite ground coffee or teas with you (or visit our local coffee store “Just Baked” on Robinson Avenue – a quick six-minute walk from the Centre).
• Your room keycards will also provide 24/7 access to the Chapel, where you can spend quiet moments in contemplation. (No food or beverages, please – we don’t want to attract any critters)
• Naramata Centre — grounds and buildings — is a smoke-free and scent-free zone.
• Wifi is available throughout the Centre. The current password will be provided at the time of check-in.
• We love our quiet. We ask all guests to keep the peace during Community Quiet Time each night between 10:30PM-7:30AM.
• Winter staffing levels are slim, so you’ll be on your own for the most part.
• Please help by tidying-up at the end of your stay. Please wash all dishes and put them away; properly dispose of any garbage or recycling.
• Check-in time is 4PM (we’ll send an email explaining the details a couple of days before your arrival).
• Check-out time is 10AM.
