Our mission – To save a beloved community institution

Our extended family has lived next door to Greenpark School for 35 years. We have always felt a strong connection to the beautiful property, its history and the community it served. When the school closed down 11 years ago, we hated watching it fall into disrepair, unutilised and uncared for.

Eventually, our current vision came to be: a place for hospitality, community, and faith. Through years of planning, dreaming, and hard work we have converted the historic school grounds into a unique, peaceful country retreat and events centre, ready to be your new home away from home.

Testimonials from previous groups

Greenpark School was the perfect venue for our young adults retreat. We had 14 people and plenty of space for both connection and privacy. We loved the cozy indoor rooms and the beautiful outdoor areas, and the beds were lovely and comfortable! The fire pit was also a huge hit and we had a great time toasting marshmallows and chatting around the fire before bed. We will be back

– Hope church young adults.

Greenpark School grounds was the perfect place to have my son’s 4th birthday party. It was so well maintained, safe and provided lots of space to spread out and run around. All the amenities we needed for an outdoor picnic. We felt like we had our own private park. All the kids had a blast and I felt happy knowing they were safe to run around and we wouldn't be bothering other picnic goers. We will deff be using these grounds again in the future.
