One estate, one weekend, everyone under the same valley sky
A church retreat venue where your group stays together
Church Retreat Venue · NSW
Booking a venue for a church weekend usually means juggling shared facilities, scattered rooms, and someone else's timetable. At Oasis of Hope you book the whole estate — fourteen private acres in the Upper Orara Valley — so your people arrive, settle in, and stay together from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon without interruption.
A weekend that flows
Welcome drinks and firelight on Friday. Worship, teaching, and shared meals through Saturday. Slow, poolside mornings on Sunday. With everything in one place, the weekend moves at its own pace — and nobody has to drive anywhere.
Spaces that bring people together
The covered Pavilion seats 80–100 for gatherings and long-table dinners, with an adjoining stage and a firepit close by. A separate meeting room with a 75-inch screen handles teaching and breakouts when you need to split into smaller groups.
Comfortable, all in one place
Twenty-one beds across the homestead and Garden Wing keep your group on-site together, with a pool, wellness spa and sauna, and acres of lawn and creek to spread out and breathe.
