A Resting Place in the Bush: A Legacy of Renewal, Wellness, and Sustainability Noonaweena, an Aboriginal word meaning “resting place in the bush,” remains true to its name as a haven for rest, rejuvenation, and reconnection. Traditionally, the Darkinjung people cherished this land for nourishment and healing, and today, that legacy lives on. Perched at the summit of our property is Biram Lodge, offering breathtaking views of Mt Yengo, a sacred site for the Eastern NSW Aboriginal people. This deep connection to the land inspires Noonaweena’s commitment to eco-conscious practices, ensuring that its natural beauty is preserved for generations to come. As a proud green travel leader with 10 years of certification from Eco Tourism Australia, Noonaweena provides a sustainable sanctuary for guests to enjoy luxury amidst nature. Whether you’re seeking tranquility or adventure, our retreat blends modern amenities with the untouched beauty of the Central Coast hinterland.
