Testimonials:

"Dear Vision Valley staff, I would like to say thank you for your great job.  Our Holdsworth Community group had a fantastic time at Vision Valley.  Your services, food, activities, facility etc - everything was perfect for us.  You are great!  We would like to visit Vision Valley again soon.  Thanks again!"

"We were really impressed with the staff.  Johanna met us upon arrival and Leanne organised our pony rides for the younger children.  The rock climbing and canoeing was a great success with the older children.  The staff were really professional, helpful, organised and very friendly.  The children really had a great day and they want to come two days next vacation care.  I will recommend Vision Valley in our next meeting as we have other centres.  The General Manager was really impressed and she wants me to organise a staff day out at Vision Valley.  We want to thank you for making it a really great day for the children and the staff".

Anita Stewart, Kids @ Weldon Vacation Care

 

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vision Valley - this is one of the experiences I know the Youth of Villawood will cherish forever.  They also enjoyed activities which were organised by your staff members and meals were delicious.  We thank you for allowing our Youth to use your amenities and all the great staff that greeted and made our stay wonderful.  We look forward to working with you all again in the future”.

Bishop Amone, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - Villawood

 

"We recently held our family reunion in Stringybark Lodge at Vision Valley.  The venue was absolutely perfect for the event.  We had family coming from all over Australia for the weekend and they were delighted with the accommodation and meals provided.  As some of the family were advanced in age the fact that they did not need to go anywhere other than the lodge was a great bonus for them.  Many did stroll around the beautiful grounds.

The staff were very helpful in every way and even provided the technology to address an American friend through the internet.  I would recommend this venue to anyone planning such a reunion".

“I would just like to thank you for the awesome weekend we had on your site.  The kids and leaders haven't stopped talking about it since we left and we all wish we could still be there!!  And best of all we have another sister, as one of our girls became a Christian.

Everything around the site was fantastic; food, accommodation, all the activities.  It was the best and most well run camp site I've ever been to.  I really appreciate all the effort you go to in preparing the camp for us.

If you could also pass this email onto Matt our site host, he was great all weekend and very helpful in everything we did.

I would like to pre book for next year for the same weekend if that is possible, let me know if we can.  Again thank you so much for all your help”.

Brendon Solomons, Toongabbie Baptist Church

“On behalf of Coastal a Cappella we would like to thank you for the wonderful weekend we had at Vision Valley.  Your facilities were wonderful and suited our unique needs.  The rooms in the lodge were lovely and clean and having the use of the lounge room was great in the evenings.  The catering was superb and the care in which our special dietary needs were accommodated was much appreciated.  We would appreciate you passing on our thanks to all the staff and we look forward to having the opportunity to book again in the future”.
