Welcome to Nunyara Conference Centre
Belair, South Australia
Nunyara is a camp, conference and retreat centre situated on spacious grounds in the Adelaide Hills - just 20 minutes from the Adelaide CBD. With an enviable view of the city, it is no wonder this Conference and Retreat Centre was named ‘Nunyara’, an Aboriginal world meaning ‘restored to health’. The centre can host up to 123 guests in two distinct accommodation styles - bunk beds in dormitory style or single bed in retreat style. With arguably the best meals in the industry, the fully-catered centre offers convenient accommodation for rural schools needing to be close to Adelaide, relaxing conference facilities for corporate planning days and unforgettable urban camping experiences.
Why not set your next school camp, church camp or community group retreat in the foothills of Adelaide at Nunyara? Nunyara is ideal for primary school camps requiring camp accommodation in Adelaide.
