Because this is a family holiday—designed for families to spend meaningful time together, enjoy each other’s company, and create lasting memories.

We know term time can be busy and demanding, which is why we believe holidays are a precious opportunity to reconnect and relax as a family. If you’ve weathered the school term together, why not enjoy the holiday together too?

If you're seeking a more separate experience for parents and children, this may not be the right fit. But if you’re looking for quality shared moments, you won’t want to be anywhere else.

We’ll get wet—and then we’ll get dry!

There’s something special about hearing raindrops hit the pool while you swim, or listening to a rain front roll in from hundreds of metres away while sailing—these are memorable moments in their own right.

Afterward, nothing beats a warm shower, a hot chocolate, and curling up with a good book. These are the cozy times that often make family holidays truly special.

Guests are welcome to use the washing machine and dryer to stay warm, dry, and ready for whatever the weather brings.

Our program is flexible and designed to fit in with the conditions—rain, wind, tides and all.

A parent is required to maintain duty of care for their children at all times. This means being present and actively supervising activities such as fishing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), or watersliding.

You don’t need to be on the tube with them, but you will need to be on the powerboat to ensure you're nearby in case your child needs support.

If you have specific accessibility needs or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Yes.

We strive to honour God in all that we do, including how alcohol is consumed.

If we are concerned that your alcohol consumption is impairing your ability to care for your children or setting a poor example for others, you may be asked to leave early without a refund.

We understand that cost can be a challenge, and we don’t want it to be an insurmountable barrier.

At the same time, we want this to be an experience you genuinely want to be part of—complete with great food, quality activities, and lasting memories. While we could lower the cost by compromising on quality, we believe we’ve found a balanced approach that offers real value.

To help make this experience accessible to all, we invite you to get in touch with us about payment plans or possible subsidies made available through our generous donors. We’d love to explore how we can support your family to come along.

No.

We’re delighted to welcome all to our Getaways. All of our team members involved in the running of each Getaway are Christians.

We carefully craft the input and delivery to avoid ostracising or prompting a sense of guilt in someone who doesn’t call themselves a Christian.

We want you to be part of it too. We have 3 ways of supporting us: 

1. Pray for us. That each Getaway would be enriching for families as they spend time with each other while being in awe of Creation. 

2. Volunteer. Giving your time will help keep our price competitive and the value high. We are looking for volunteers to help in all manner of ways – give us a call if you are keen to know more (02 8525 3142). 

3. Financially. This could be done directly by funding a family you know would appreciate a Getaway like this, or make a donation towards this ministry by contacting donations@youthworks.net

Being in the National Park, pets are not permitted.

We’d love your guests to join us for the whole time but not part of the time.

The community that is built over the 5 nights can be special when nurtured under the right circumstances. Having different people join us for intermittent stints here and there isn’t conducive for those relationships to form naturally.
