Fourteen private acres, where the hinterland meets the light of morning. Oasis of Hope is a hinterland retreat in the Upper Orara Valley, just 20 minutes from Coffs Harbour’s beautiful beaches. A creek flows through the estate, surrounded by rainforest and state forest – the best of both worlds: the beach within easy reach, and tranquillity in nature.
A whole valley for your day. The estate hosts weddings and celebrations, corporate retreats and leadership offsites, church camps, wellness retreats and multi-day group gatherings. The creekside Pavilion seats 80–100 guests, and the Retreat Space seats up to 70, with a presentation screen.
There are three ways to experience the estate. Creekside Escape Camp sits just moments after you enter the property, with open grassy spaces, hot showers, a barbecue shelter, creek access and valley views – ideal for families, caravans and tents. The Homestead sleeps 17 across six bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The Garden Wing is a garden-facing two-bedroom retreat for couples and close family. Together they offer 21 beds, with luxury camping for over 200.
Heat, water, stillness: the Wellness Centre offers a spa, Finnish-style sauna and pool, with wellness add-ons for campers. Evenings bring firelight in the sandstone amphitheatre, and the creek leads upstream to a waterfall pool.
An entire weekend experience. Begin your stay.
