GROUP ACCOMMODATION - for 30 to 172+ people

Bornhoffen is a spectacular and inspiring mountain setting for your school camp, retreat or gathering... a world away from the distractions of the city but less than 90 minutes from the Brisbane CBD.

​

Our group accommodation is available for any organised group - schools, community, church, special needs, club, weddings, events, retreats, family reunions - all are welcome.

​

You have two venues to choose from. These venues are named after nearby mountain peaks.

​

PCYC would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land, the Yugambeh people, and their continuing connection to the land, sea and community.

We also acknowledge and pay our respects to Elders, past and present.
