Sister Eveleen Retreat House is a faith-based organisation based in Christchurch, New Zealand working on religion & faith.

Sister Eveleen Retreat House is a Christian spiritual retreat house on Scarborough Hill in Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand. It offers guided retreats of one to seven days, self-guided stays, day retreats, and group bookings, with a focus on silence, contemplative prayer and rest. Guests of all backgrounds are welcome, and the chapel and gardens are open to the public. The house was built in the early 1920s, was named after Sister Constance Eveleen Barklie, and belongs to the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch. It is a registered charity that relies on donations, a Friends membership scheme and retreat fees to keep prices low. Volunteers support gardening, maintenance and hosting.
