Tushita does not operate as a guest house and it is not possible to stay here before your course begins since we have a lot of people to prepare for and much to do in the days running up to a course. There are however a huge number of hotels and guest houses nearby, you can see more information here.

Check-in begins at 1pm on the first day of the course, nothing will happen before that so please arrive then. If you arrive earlier you can leave your bag in the dining room and come back at 1pm, but please note that no meals will be provided here before check-in.

It is sometimes possible to stay for a night or two after your course, but we always have a fluctuating program and won't be able to confirm that until just before, or possibly even during your course. Our current schedule is so full that it is  unlikely that we'll be able to let people stay for more than one night. Again, nearby accommodation is plentiful and flexible, it's never a problem to find somewhere. If it is possible to stay after the course, a condition may be that we ask you to help us to clean up. Information will be given when you're here.

The only other way it is possible to stay at Tushita is for established Buddhist practitioners who are undertaking their own strict personal retreat of 10 days or more. You can see more information here.
