One way to gain momentum in your relationship with God is to take some intentional reflective time to listen to God. The bush and water environment offer ample opportunity to be quiet and attune to the presence of God that is felt at this location. For decades this location has been described in the Celtic expression as ‘a thin place.’ If requested when booking, Spiritual Direction may be offered periodically throughout your stay.

Sometimes a change of scenery is as refreshing as a holiday. For those who work online and can easily transfer their working station to a place with a different view, the Rubicon Estuary offers a peaceful and spectacular vista to enjoy as you work your days. The Boat House offers a wifi connection.

Do you have an increasing pile of unread books on your bedside table? Imagine taking a week off to enjoy your reading in a comfortable restful location. You can be focused and reflect on your reading as you sip a wine and look out over the estuary. A book library is available.

Finding the right place for part of your Sabbatical is vital. The Boat House offers you a comfortable quiet environment to rest, read, and rejuvenate in the midst of your months away from work. It is equipped with a mini spiritual formation library with Christian Spiritual Classics that can illuminate your mind and heart as you enter into silence, solitude and stillness. Getting in rhythm with the ebb and flow of the tide serves to calm the whole body and soul during your time away. If requested when booking, Spiritual Direction may be offered periodically throughout your stay.

The Rubicon Estuary offers wide and expansive views that inspire anybody’s imagination. Take some time to write, interrupted only by the beauty of bird calls and bush sounds.

The Boat House offers time away together to rejuvenate your relationship. Take one of the many walks in the area, sit on the jetty at sunset, or enjoy a movie together while you resync your relationship. Restaurants, cinema and coffee shops are only a short drive away.
