Frequently Asked Questions

Who qualifies as a 'Christian Leader' to stay at Eden Waters?

If you are a Christian and lead others and you are wanting to spend time with God retreating, then you qualify! You might lead a church, a ministry, a business, a NFP board, a school, or even a connect group. We are not a holiday destination, nor a business meeting venue.

Are you available for weekends?

We have deliberately excluded weekend availability for two reasons; to prioritise our own sabbath / family times and to encourage guests to utilise the retreat time as part of their workplace professional development and self-care.

Can I book as a group?

Yes! Providing you and your group are here intentionally retreating and that you and your group are also leaders.

Can I bring my children?

This can be a sensitive question for people but generally, the answer will be no. We have intentionally set up a space that is a change from your everyday. We are seeking to support extended periods of time for growing in connection with God, allowing you to be known by Him and to deepen your understanding of Him. However, if you would like to chat about your specific needs, please reach out using the general enquiry form.

Can I bring my pet?

Unfortunately our property is not set up to accommodate your pet.

If you would like to give to the mission of Eden Waters or support leaders who can't afford to pay the full rate, we welcome your support. Thank you in advance for partnering with us in the scaffolding of ongoing health and sustainability of our Christian leaders.

Retreating as a Regular Rhythm

We've personally funded our own retreats over the years, understanding their immense value. Our hope is that your spiritual formation will be recognised by the people you lead and serve. We believe that intentional and regular retreats should be viewed as an investment in your growth, discipleship, and longevity in your role. To support this, we are willing to provide you with a letter detailing the spiritual formation role of Eden Waters. This letter can be presented to your employer, with the aim of encouraging them to incorporate time and financial resources for your annual retreat into your professional development and leadership care. In your general inquiry, kindly request a letter to be sent to you for your employer.

For all booking-related matters, including cancellations, refunds, or reporting breakages, please feel free to reach out to us via phone or email.
