A vision for a
Health and Lifestyle Retreat
and
Health and Ministry Training Centre
What is Abide?
The Abide Estate is located on 101 pristine acres of alpine forest near Marysville, Victoria. It was purpose built to operate a Residential Health Retreat, training centre and modest market garden. It has been operated by various independent ministries for over 30 years and is now available for new owners to acquire.
The Residential Health Retreat has 11 beautifully refurbished ensuite rooms, hydrotherapy/massage treatment rooms, consulting offices and dining room that takes advantage of the natural surrounds.
The Training Centre provides for the needs of students and associated staff, with classrooms, library and administrative offices.
Student Accommodations include a 16-bed dormitory with 2 Dean’s Quarter’s, commercial kitchen and dining room.

Who is Cedarvale?
Cedarvale is a Residential Health Retreat operating in the Wellness industry as a not-for-profit organisation for over 30 years.
Believing that God works through nature’s wholistic remedies to promote healing, hundreds of clients have experienced renewed health.
As a registered supportive ministry of the Adventist Church in the South New South Wales Conference, they have a faithful record of caring service, unified staff, and steady financial management that supports the church in its mission.
Since COVID-19, they have record client numbers, and needing to expand operations have expressed interest in the Abide Estate. At present, they need financial assistance to reach the negotiated amount to acquire the estate.
If you want to experience the joy of giving and have the assurance that there is a place to experience professional and natural healing when you or your friends need it, then please consider giving a generous donation. You will be blessed!
