Vaughan Park Anglican Retreat Centre

Vaughan park has been a spiritual home to me for over 10 years now. Time and time again the rest, tranquility and wairua of this sacred space has helped me breathe, meet with God and return home restored. The staff are always friendly, the grounds well kept, the rooms tidy and comfortable and the location perfect. Highly recommend.

I stayed to attend an 8 day Reiki event. I ate there every day and found Alana, Vanessa and Mel very accommodating people and I would definitely return just for the meals alone! There is beach walk and nature reserve, shops nearby-but no need to visit. I simply would go for time to one’s self or a place to study.

Vaughan Retreat Centre is the perfect place for groups. The staff was incredibly hospitable and the space is beautiful and convenient. Thank you for a wonderful week!

We ran a Reiki Retreat over a weekend and everybody enjoyed the location, the wonderful energy of the grounds, the friendliness of the staff and the delicious food. Vaughan Park offers the perfect backdrop for your conference or retreat.

I write this as I'm leaving a writing retreat at Vaughan Park and can honestly say I’ve written more in four days than I have in the past ten years of procrastination. This place is an absolute gift to anyone looking to reconnect with their creative work in a focused, inspiring, and deeply peaceful setting.nnThe location is breathtaking — just a short stroll from the beach, with nature walks that take you up to the tops of coastal cliffs for panoramic ocean views. The grounds are serene and beautifully maintained, and the wraparound windows in the main workroom meant every participant had their own desk space, each with views that spark creativity and calm in equal measure.nnThe food deserves its own five stars. Every meal was cooked from scratch with love and care — wholesome, nourishing, and generously portioned. Many of us went back for seconds often! and several participants commented that they hadn’t felt so healthy or clear-headed in years, which directly boosted the quality and volume of their creative output.nnMy room was minimalist but clean, quiet, and perfectly suited to focused solo work. I loved being able to step straight out into the fresh air through a private glass door. The common rooms provided comfortable spots to connect with fellow retreat-goers during breaks, and the staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly respectful of our working hours — always doing their best to avoid disruption while keeping everything neat and welcoming.nnVaughan Park is not just a venue — it’s a catalyst for deep work and creative breakthroughs. If you’re looking for a place to sequester yourself or bring a group to finally make real progress on your writing or study project, this is it. I’m leaving with pages of new work and a renewed sense of purpose… and honestly, I hate to leave.
