Escape to the Country

Starting with campsites to cabins, houses, and a colonial style waterfront cottage – there is something for everyone at YWAM Tahlee.

The campsite view is spectacular, no matter what time of the day, with group orientated campfire facilities and a private boat ramp. We recommend bringing your stand up paddle boards or kayaks to enjoy a quiet sunrise or stunning sunset as you explore the natural coastline.

Campers are free to roam the property alongside native wildlife including kangaroos, and kookaburras with a regular view of dolphins on the shoreline. There is a private beach enclosed swimming area with tables for picnics. Tahlee is a place full of history with a rich heritage. There are various opportunities for a leisurely waterfront stroll to our historic boat harbour or a hike up the mountain at the back of our property.
