Things to do

Calm bay water a short drive from the house. Swim, paddle or walk the foreshore.
Walk out over the bay, drop a fishing line or watch the sunset.
Warm mineral pools set in the bush, a short drive from Rye.
Bring a board or a bike, or just come along and watch.
A gondola ride over the bush with views right across the bay.
Coastal walks, old forts and the spot where the bay meets the ocean.
A boardwalk down to the rock platforms below the lighthouse.
Rock pools, surf beaches and an easy wander through Sorrento.
An easy afternoon out when the weather turns.
Lunch out, a milkshake, or fish and chips by the water.
Movie nights outdoors and time around the fire pit.
Cook dinner together, play board or console games, or just rest.
The house
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms, an outdoor cinema, a fire pit, a PS5 and a massage chair. Minutes from the bay, with mentors on site throughout.
Nervous about a night away? Start with a meet and greet, then a short stay before a full weekend.
Planned weekends or school holiday stays, booked around your family.
Young adults practise cooking, budgeting and getting out of their usual routine.
