Cedarvale Health & Lifestyle Retreat has been carved out of temperate rain forest on the side of beautiful Kangaroo Valley, 2 hours south of Sydney, Australia. This 150-acre property provides an ideal setting for a health & lifestyle retreat.
The Health Retreat caters for around 170 guests per year offering either short 2 to 7 day “Health Stays” or 12 or 19-day “Health Recovery” programs. Each program is designed to provide healing through God’s natural methods and teach healthy lifestyle skills necessary in regaining and maintaining optimum health.
Many of the health guests come to Cedarvale knowing nothing of Seventh-day Adventist beliefs but leave with very positive attitudes. Some are now fellowshipping with God’s people and seeking to reach others for Him.
Five acres of orchard and gardens provide a variety of lush, fresh fruit in season. A small health food industry has been established manufacturing “Country-Oat Burger” patties for fast food and café outlets.
Cedarvale’s development has been divided into five stages. The fourth stage, now just beginning, includes the establishment of a “Health & Evangelism” training course. Cedarvale receives regular calls from young, committed people in Australia and New Zealand seeking a local training in health related ministry.
This course will provide hands-on education in health centre work, community health work, how to give Bible studies and other personal evangelism.
The fifth stage includes the completed development of two small industries in keeping with Cedarvale’s overall philosophy. These industries are
- Manufacture of total vegetarian food products for the food
service and retail markets. - Hot house vegetables for sale in specialist outlets.
