Nan Hai Pu Tuo Buddhist Temple
An unexpected Buddhist temple complex with meditation gardens hidden in the hills above Sellicks Beach - one of the most surprising spiritual destinations on the Fleurieu.
A temple in the Sellicks Hills
Nan Hai Pu Tuo is a Buddhist temple complex set on a quiet hillside property above Sellicks Beach, reached by Cactus Canyon Road off the Main South Road. The temple was established to host meditation retreats and is open to visitors at scheduled times.
What's there
A traditional temple building, several meditation halls, ornamental gardens with Buddhist statuary, and walking paths that wind through the surrounding bushland. The site is unexpected in this landscape - it has the feel of a much further-flung pilgrimage destination than 60 minutes from Adelaide.
Visiting
Open at scheduled hours and for retreat visitors. The temple is a quiet, reflective place - dress modestly, speak softly, and check the website or call ahead to confirm visitor access before driving up.
