Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Enjoy the peaceful seclusion of the Church @ Tantawangalo. The stunning 1905 brick gothic revival style church has been sensitively converted in a luxury retreat perfect for creating your next holiday memories.
This unique home is a great place to get away from the world whilst still close to local amenities, whether it's to completely slowdown and relax or to explore the vast array of activities the spectacular Sapphire Coast has to offer.

The space
The church offers unique boutique accommodation for those wanting a holiday with a difference. You'll find all the modern conveniences to make your stay comfortable and relaxing whilst still retaining the original features of the building.

Walk through the dramatic entrance hall with its original arched timber double doors into the expansive open plan kitchen, dining and living room with its soaring 8 metre wooden ceilings, original stained-glass windows and floor to ceiling steel bifold doors which let light to flood into the living areas, plus a large wood burning fire for those colder evenings. The original vestry now houses the luxurious bathroom, with large free-standing bath where you can unwind taking in the view of the adjacent reserve through the original arched doorway, plus there's an oversize shower. The bedroom is more intimate space situated in the raised vestibule off the living area, the queen size bed entices you to sleep with quality linen and handmade merino wool blankets.

Whilst the church does have limited phone reception we have made the decision to maintain it as a relaxing getaway destination without the distraction of technology. You will find a range of books, games and puzzles to entertain, however, we encourage you to relax and reconnect. There is no television or WiFi, however mobile hot spotting from your phone to your laptop is possible should you need a quick technology fix!

Guest access
You will have the church and the surrounds entirely to yourself.

Other things to note
There are open stairs to the mezzanine, therefore children require supervision.
