Peaceful, artistic and unlike many other forest monasteries I've been to. There is a unique and harmonious blend of the east and west here that will make you feel like you're blissfully walking in a garden of zen as opposed to the austerity that is normally associated with monasteries.

A serene and quiet place. Reminded me of the famous pictures people share from Cambodia. A great place and not too far from Sydney and if you are in Southern Highlands in NSW make sure you spend some time here.

Serene and peaceful place. Beautiful monastery and ideal place to recharge, meditate and contemplate. Monks were friendly and accommodating.

Had a great experience last weekend. Serene and peaceful environment with great views and wonderful inhabitants. Would recommend to check the website if you ever plan to visit this hidden gem.

Excellent experience of Buddhist thoughts and delicious Thai vegetarian meal

A very good place to meditate and remove stress and/or pain. Also has a gift shop, and a tiny museum.

Definitely worth the driving.

Sunnataram is a wonderful place to get away from the city - so beautiful and peaceful. The monks are very cheerful and merry.

Quiet and good for meditation.

Beautiful place.. structure, museum, statues, pagoda, nature, landscape. art, love and care is resemble in every aspect of this place. A divine light and energy pouring into the heart from heaven!

Really enjoying environment to relax the busy city live. Also after lunch time with a prepared meal by the volunteers, there is a dharma teaching by the monk. Really great for people who just want to expand their Buddhist knowledge or who is just starting to learn Buddhism.

We have been practicing meditation at sunnataram for over 5 years. It is a really important hub for the Bundanoon community. Please pop in for some serenity and love if you are in the area

It was stunning. Highly recommend a tour through the peaceful setting. Super friendly and welcoming. Thank you

Calm, serene, peaceful.... I could go on and on. Must visit if you are looking for some time away from the rat race we call "life".

Wonderful, relaxing place off the beaten track. Vegetarian lunch available and a pleasant place to wander the gardens and contemplate life.

my monk senses have improved from going to this monastery, father carlos brutally punished me while i was in captivity. The changed my perspective on the budisst race and i am very grateful for him.

ps send them home "mr davis"

Amazing Monastery in NSW, Australia

Pretty sublime. Everything about that place, from the story behind how it came to be, to the buildings, to the view, to the people there is amazing.

Beautiful, Peaceful, highly recommended for meditation or a quiet time yourself , with family or groups.
