Two types of
spaces are provided for
retreatants; all are for single occupancy. The retreat house
features a number of private rooms, each with a half-bath and
personal garden overlooking the ocean. There is also a room with
several showers and a common kitchen where meals are picked up.
In addition to the retreat house, there are five trailer
hermitages located along the hillside below the retreat house.
These spaces offer greater solitude and privacy. They include a
full bath, small refrigerator, small counter-top gas burner for
cooking, various food items for light meals and a sun deck.
The
main meal is picked up at the retreat house kitchen.
