Leumeah Lodge

Your home away from home

YMCA Canberra Leumeah Lodge is one of Canberra’s newest accommodation facilities, specialising in School and Sporting group accommodation, conferences and events. Leumeah Lodge also accommodates individuals and families within its beautifully appointed hotel rooms.

Ideally positioned just off the Barton Highway, in the exciting Gold Creek Tourist precinct, Leumeah Lodge is only minutes away from Canberra’s CBD and the array of wonderful local attractions, cafes and galleries. It is also conveniently located, offering guests a chance to explore the surrounding region’s rural attractions, restaurants and wineries.

At a gala event held in March 2019, YMCA Canberra Leumeah Lodge was awarded a Bronze in the Standard Accommodation category of the 2018 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards. Recognising and promoting excellence in tourism, the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards are the tourism industry’s peak awards.

Leumeah Lodge and YMCA Canberra acknowledges Aboriginal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We commit to working respectfully to honour their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country.

“Leumeah” in the Tharwal language means “Here I rest”.
“We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to laugh, to love… and then we return home.” – Aboriginal Proverb

YMCA Canberra is accredited as a Safeguarding Children and Young People organisation with the Australian Childhood Foundation (ACF). 

We have a commitment to safeguarding children and young people first and foremost in all our programs and activities.
