Excellent outing. I've been here for five days away from work and fast life of Melbourne. It is a beautiful place located on river's bank, near to sea in Walpole. There are so many tall trees, lots of grass around and pathways...ideal for a quite and nature filled time with self or your loved ones. It also has beautiful Saibaba temple where one can go to meditate or attend /do aarti. The served vegan food was yummy and delicious. I definitely had best time here. Thanks MCB for this amazing experience

The Mohanji Centre of Benevolence(MCB) at Walpole, Western Australia, is a beautiful place that anyone who wants to connect to themselves must visit! A serene, picturesque and comfortable place amidst nature, animals, trees, rolling greenery, wildlife, birds and the ‘Self’ which is you to experience it. It is a place where you feel you have come back ‘Home’!

What an amazing experience it was staying at MCB! For me the highlight was meeting Mohanji in person for the first time. It was a rejuvenating & calm environment, each day filled with mindfulness activities, spiritual discourses, amazing yoga, healing sessions, lovely people and delicious vegan food. All in all a week of serenity and calm, exactly what I needed. Perfect place to find yourself!

Feeling extremely blessed to have been able to spend time in the beautiful energy of this sacred place, in the presence of the Masters Mohanji and Sai Baba, and the company of lovely friendly people. It was an experience I will never forget and hope to repeat again. Thank you to the MCB Australia team for making this possible

A beautiful, sacred space, infused with higher energies.. The general area of Walpole is beautiful, scenic, natural and peaceful, but the Mohanji Centre of Benevolence is another level. Even just being in this place recharges you.. Whether coming for a scheduled program, or just to experience the higher energies here, I recommend everyone and anyone to visit, and experience for yourself!
