Game Of Life Mum & Son Adventure Retreat 🌴 Noosa Everglades | Boys Aged 9-14
​Introducing Our Game Of Life Noosa Everglades Mum & Son Adventure Retreat
​He won't stay little forever.
​Escape with your son, aged 9-14, to a weekend that’s more than a getaway. It is a chance to connect deeply and unlock his potential.
​You'll enjoy fun, awe-inspiring activities, movement and nature-based restoration.
​This premium experience is designed for mothers like you who want the very best for their boys.
​Created with by world-renowned wellness experts.
​No distractions. Just forever moments.
​Game Of Life is hosted by the founder of Beautiful Minds - Marina Passalaris.
​Places are limited to only 15 families. Each application is personally reviewed to ensure every family who joins us is the right fit for this experience.
​Our Setting
​Our Game Of Life venue sits across 65 acres of national park on the shore of Lake Cootharaba — the gateway to one of only two everglades systems on the planet.
​This venue has recently been awarded Australia's Best New Tourism Business, the property offers an extraordinary pairing of wilderness immersion and thoughtful comfort.
​Eastern grey kangaroos graze outside your tent at dusk. Tea tree-infused waterways mirror ancient rainforest at dawn.
​The Noosa Everglades are home to over 44% of Australia's bird species, and the dark, tannin-rich waters have earned them the name the "River of Mirrors" — one of the most photographed natural phenomena in the country.
​The Holiday Doesn't Have To End Here
​Timed perfectly with the school holidays, Game Of Life becomes the anchor of a broader family getaway — with the world-class beaches, dining, and boutiques of Noosa just 25 minutes down the road.
​Fly into Sunshine Coast Airport. Spend your first days at Game of Life. Then extend into Noosa for the rest of the holidays — Hastings Street, the national park, Main Beach, and everything the region is famous for.
​The experience ends. The holiday doesn't have to.
​The Experience
​Every element of Game Of Life has been thoughtfully curated — from dawn on the water to fireside at dusk — to create the conditions for real connection.
