Chenrezig Buddhist Centre Tour & Big Love Café Lunch | 7th January 2027

    A temple with ornate white stupas stands among green trees and vibrant tropical plants under a bright blue sky; red roofs and golden details are visible on the buildings, creating a scene as picturesque as those glimpsed from a Gold Coast Lunch Cruise.

    Take time out from the everyday and enjoy a peaceful day in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Our Chenrezig Buddhist Centre tour takes you to Chenrezig Institute, a Tibetan Buddhist centre set within rainforest on the edge of the Blackall Range near Eudlo.

    From the moment you arrive, colourful prayer flags, Buddhist statues and peaceful gardens create a calm and welcoming setting. Take time to explore the grounds and learn more about this unique spiritual community.

    A highlight is the beautiful Garden of Enlightenment. This peaceful memorial garden features hundreds of stupas and memorial plaques, along with Buddhist prayer wheels, Buddha statues, winding pathways, water features and exotic plants. It is a lovely place to slow down, take in the surroundings and enjoy a moment of quiet reflection.

    Afterwards, settle in at the Big Love Café for a wholesome vegetarian lunch. The café serves a changing selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, with flavours that may include Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian and Lebanese. Ingredients are sourced locally and are also grown at the monastery.

    This Chenrezig Buddhist Centre tour offers a relaxed and personal day out. You can enjoy the rainforest setting, sacred spaces and friendly company without feeling rushed.

    Please note: Chenrezig Institute has stairs, uneven ground and steep sections. This tour is not suitable for guests using wheelie walkers or those with mobility limitations.
