Retreat Days

Welcome to The Place by the Water, a peaceful Christian day retreat centre where you can escape the busyness of everyday life and find rest for your soul. Whether you're seeking quiet solitude or a shared experience with a group, our retreat is designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment for reflection, renewal, and spiritual growth.

​

With comfortable spaces indoors and beautiful outdoor areas to explore, you’ll have the freedom to make this retreat your own. Homemade meals are lovingly prepared and included, allowing you to focus on resting and reconnecting. 

For some the peace and quiet is all that’s required, but if that’s not for you, we provide maps for local walks, craft materials for reflective creativity and Bible journalling. 

​

While The Place by the Water is open to everyone, it's especially ideal for members of clergy and church leaders in need of time to rest, renew and refocus their sense of purpose. Here, you’ll find the space and support you need to return to your calling with a fresh perspective.

​

Additionally, we offer a compassionate listening ear and guidance as you process your thoughts and feelings if required. If you desire prayer support, our team is here to pray with you, ensuring that you feel encouraged and uplifted during your stay.
