Bethlehem Centre

Margot and Donya are a couple of real gems indeed. It is an absolute pleasure to work with them. The Bethlehem Centre is a beautifully kept little oasis of peace and tranquility in the world. Thank you for all you do. - David

I really enjoyed the weekend retreat I attended here last weekend. The staff were all very friendly and the food was excellent. They accommodated our group's dietary requirements, providing vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. We were doing a silent retreat, and the staff made an effort to be silent in the dining room as well when we were there. It's really hard to beat the location of this retreat center as it's right on Westwood lake with access to the trail. I imagine it might be a bit cold in the fall and winter but it was beautiful this weekend. The shared bathrooms in our building were cleaned during the day on Saturday so it was clean on Sunday morning. I think the only difficult part of this retreat was that the shower stalls have a very small area for changing and no bench (it's like 2 x 3 feet), so if you have any mobility or balance issues (or trouble standing on one foot) I'd suggest requesting a room in the main building or asking the staff if there is another option.

Fantastic Interfaith Centre! Outdoor Labyrinth is awesome, the food is amazing, the grounds are beautiful & it's right on Westwood Lake. It's a great place for retreats and workshops. Definitely recommend! :)

We have been holding workshops at this venue for a number of years and find that the beautiful grounds and great staff all contribute to wonderful experience for our participants

I found the place online where it says that it is 75 (including tax) dollar per night but at my arrival I dad to pay 95 plus tax. After we choosed our room (we were the only ones) no one single room was set up. So I had to put sheets on my bed get towels and so on. Location is nice. Next to the sea and I had a restful sleep.

Accommodation is spartan , adequate and comfortable. The location is gorgeous and tranquil. There are many spiritual offerings here for people of all faiths. Bethlehem Retreat is truly a blessing in and of itself.

What a gem of a facility! Just spent 5 days here, and I’ll definitely be back. Outstanding service, staff, facility and location.

Very cool little place! We love the nature setting, and the friendly vibe we received upon checking in. Will definitely be back in the future.

As a facilitator of many workshops and events on Vancouver Island this is my favourite space. Quiet, serene, spacious rooms, good energy, organized and efficient staff. I will definitely rent here again. It’s a space your proud to bring people to for a memorable event.

Beautiful and tranquil setting setting. Caring staff. Very good food with delicious gluten free options (which I had requested prior to my arrival). Many thanks!
