The Centre is situated at Lorinna, a quiet secluded valley which is heavily forested with tall Eucalyptus trees and pockets of dense temperate rain forest. The 25 hectare property boasts such unique natural features as limestone caves, a waterfall and a host of species of flora including silver birches, maple and the ancient gingko trees. Other accommodation facilities include 3 cabins set in the forest and 2 small A-frame cabins for families and couples. During Retreats a small tent city is erected by people wishing private space, providing a festival atmosphere. The climate of the area is mild in relation to it's latitude due to the fact that Tasmania is an island, however high rainfall and snow can be experienced during the winter months.
Summer is generally dry with average temperatures in the low to mid twenties centigrade.
Courses are run between November and May, offering relative comfort to those attending. During 1994, the formation of a committee to cater for activities for Zasep Tulku Rinpoche's visits was developed. This committee is now known as the Dharma Foundation of Tasmania and has already organized two retreats. Formation of the D.F.T. was necessary to assist the operator of the Centre to reduce the workload of organizing of such retreats, which can be a burden both financially and mentally. The relationship between these two bodies is very strong and can only enhance the future progress of the Dharma in Tasmania.
