This is my first time writing a review because I had lots I wanted to say about this place. I came here for my Year 4 school camp. This camp (?) was amazing. First of all, the beds were actual beds, with comfortable matresses and soft cusions. In my Cabin, I had 6 or 7 other friends. WE HAD 2 BATHROOMS!!!! This also included the modernised shower, along with a hanger and tiled walls. We also had cabinets to store stuff (although we didn't use it). Food was awesome. Although I only went there for 2 days and 1 night, the food was incredible. At the time of my visit, There was a condiments buffet. We even traded sauces and salts with eachother - like a market (we got in trouble though). Dinner was chicken with mushroom sauce. The centre also consisted of a "special diet meal" where my best friend had. He claimed it was suitable. There was also a breakfast self serve BTW. There was a disco night on the eve of camp, it was average. The collaroy centre is dotted on a nice hill on its back. There we glanced at animals. When we were about an hour before leaving, we played soccer that they provided, as well as other games. However, the activities were the highlight. This may be subjective, but it consisted of my favourate activities - Archery and Laser tag. The instructors were also humourous. Other activities (Giant swing, Balancing challenge, Treasure hunt) were ok. The only thing I was slightly dissatisfied about was the long walks (I am a lazy person). I had to crawl ~1km uphill to the giant swing. Our cabins were also slightly far from our drop off. Overall, A very nice camp compared to others. I was shocked to see its bedding and food alike. Activities were entertaining. Only docked a star because of long walks. read more

Came here to help out with a camp group that I signed up for. This place was pretty easy to find as it was just straight up on Homestead Avenue. Drove towards the top and parked the car near to where the reception was. When I asked the staff about where the group I was supposed to be in, she quickly guided me and told me about the three groups which were there and the respective locations. Whoops.. I heard deaf as death. And yup, luckily I didn't enter the wrong group. Decided to go to the chapel and the cabins to look for familiar faces. Unfortunately wasn't easy to find as there are five different cabin locations. Decided to send a text to the person in-charge and finally I found them. Joined the group for both lunch and dinner. The dining area was pretty big overviewing the Pacific ocean. The weather was pretty great while I was there and so the slow motion waves were visible. Even saw a golf course before the ocean. Food wise, could say it was pretty good. Lunch, we had chicken cutlet with burrito wraps and cheese as well as salad on the side. Dinner, we had beef slices with yellow noodle and some paprika on the side as well as chocolate cupcake on the side. Didn't join in for tea break and supper which might have good variety of foods too. After lunch, just outside the cafeteria we spotted some birds. Managed to get close shots of those birds eating bread crumbs or apple. The families who were with us enjoyed interacting with the birds. The chapel has a big conference room with plenty of chairs and tables on the side. It has a small podium with microphone as well. You could see the sea view from the chapel - conference room as well. Overall, I think it is a nice getaway area for varieties of events. It is also near to a mall with bowling or laser tag area as well as close by beaches around the area. Before coming here, there are two petrol/gas stations nearby on the main road. :) read more
