Nature
Bush walks, eucalyptus air, the kind of green that resets your eyes — and alfresco dining under open skies.
Disconnect to reconnect.
A premium weekend of nature, sport, art and real human moments in Kangaroo Valley — with PLAYCARNIVAL's signature entertaining twist.
Four simple ingredients. No gurus, no agendas — just the bits we forgot we needed.
Nature
Bush walks, eucalyptus air, the kind of green that resets your eyes — and alfresco dining under open skies.
Art
Fluid art with Lucia — torches, spinning canvases, zero brushes. Total creative freedom for all ages, zero experience required.
Crafts
Hands-on making, for the joy of doing — no Pinterest perfection required. Just laughter, texture and something to take home.
Sports
Tennis, team games, kids on grass — with Daniel keeping everyone moving. High-energy when you want it, gentle when you don't.
Eucalyptus, rolling hills, log fires, and that particular kind of country quiet you can actually hear. Our boutique venue sits within a private patch of Kangaroo Valley — just two hours from Sydney, but a whole world away.
Every family does both. Move and create, side by side — kids and grown-ups, all the same.
Long communal dinners under string lights. Campfire stories with marshmallow fingers. And a giant collaborative family art mosaic — every family contributes a piece — that you'll take home as a one-of-one keepsake from the weekend.
I'm a professional artist with work shown in Italy, Spain, Dubai, LA, Sydney and Brisbane — but my favourite gallery is a long table full of laughing humans covered in paint. Re:human Re:treats is the weekend I always wished existed for my own family. I can't wait to share it with yours.
— Lucia ✺
I've been playing competitive sport since I was knee-high, and coaching it for almost as long — from national-level adults to primary school kids in their first season. I've got my Working with Children Check and a fair bit of experience inside Sydney schools. But honestly? My favourite part is the look on someone's face when a game makes them genuinely laugh. That's why I'm here.
— Daniel ✺
Between the open tabs, the school run, the unread Slacks and the seven thousand reminders pinging before breakfast — somewhere in there is a family that genuinely loves being together. Remember them?
We built Re:human Re:treats for the parents who keep promising they'll slow down soon. For the kids who'd rather climb a tree than tap a screen. For the families who want a weekend that doesn't end with everyone in different rooms, on different devices, eating different things.
No agendas. No notifications. No glue-gun-on-the-kitchen-floor kind of "creativity". Just real food, real movement, real mess (we'll handle the mess) — and the kind of laughter you can't schedule.
we keep it small on purpose — so it stays special ✺
