SIBA Retreat Centre is a beautiful and friendly Buddhist retreat centre in the Snowy River country of East Gippsland, Victoria. Formerly ONTOS, it was founded by Lama Choedak Rinpoche and formally opened and consecrated by His Eminence Chogye Trichen Rinpoche in 2006. During this time His Eminence gave the centre the dharma name 'Tsarchen Choeling'. SIBA has all the conditions for the perfect retreat. Simply being at SIBA calms the senses and heals the mind. SIBA is a welcoming and peaceful refuge and its unique atmosphere is well known to visitors.

Wilderness Cabin 2
Stayed in cabin 2. Cosy with wooden oven. Beautiful views. Plenty of wallabies, kangaroos, all sorts of parrots and kookaburras. George was very helpful and responsive. We arrived after hours and George left a very helpful written message at reception, knowing we couldn't contact him as there was no phone reception for a number of hours on the road (through the national park). Would love to stay again. Thank you George!

Wilderness Cabin 1
10/10
This was a lovely place to stay, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for some time away. Caro was lovely and helpful if I needed anything, the space was so relaxing and clean with great access to nature. I was able to really connect with the environment but not sacrifice any comfort! Don't think twice about booking a cabin.

Wilderness Cabin 2
Quiet Relaxing Cabin
I had a very quiet and relaxing time in Cabin 2. It has beautiful views from the balcony. The bed, linen, pillow, and towels were provided. Nice fireplace with plenty of dry firewood. There is a central bathroom/toilet block a couple hundred metres away, with a hot water shower. There is a small kitchen with a sink, a kettle and a gas stove, which is very convenient. For large meal preparation, there is a fully equipped central kitchen. A great place to do some meditation, yoga and walks.
