About
Habitation of Hope is a campsite and retreat centre used mainly by churches, schools and youth groups. It holds a 4.3 rating from 75 Google reviews, and visitors describe it as quiet and refreshing, yet close enough to the city for a weekend away.
Groups praise the space for activities. Reviewers mention a swimming pool, basketball and volleyball courts, an obstacle course and plenty of open ground, set in gardens that one weekend camper found beautifully kept, with good views. One group that camped for three nights on a self-catering basis found the staff friendly and the booking easy, and would return for the pricing. Another visitor singles out the hot showers. It is also recommended for leadership training and school prefects' camps.
The accommodation is the modest part. The same three-night group found the lodging rooms fair and adequate for a youth camp, but nothing special. Ask about the rooms before booking a larger or older group.
