Beautiful lakeside setting

Just over 60 minutes from Hornsby and Newcastle, the site is set on the picturesque shores of Lake Macquarie with 6.5 hectares of water frontage and an additional 40 hectares of adjoining bushland.

“We chose the site for its accommodation, facilities, activities and location. Meals were catered for, the campfire was set up, and setting our own timetable helped us do things when people were at their best. Staff were professional and eager to help.”

— Grace, House of Light Ministries
