Gerringong, Central Coast, NSW
Chittick Lodge is an outreach facility of Gerringong Uniting Church.
Uniquely located within the residential fringes of Gerringong, Chittick Lodge is a modern day oasis – providing a sanctuary for the senses and a place to stay for thousands of visitors through the years.
The grounds of the Lodge are around one hectare in size, which will feel even bigger than it sounds because we will have the site all to ourselves. And due to the Lodge’s elevated position, the sensational views of the surrounding hills and ocean make this generous space feel even larger still.
Half of the the Lodge is taken up by tree-dotted greens providing shade, shelter and places to stroll or get horizontal. There is plenty of room for soccer, football and volleyball or any group games that need lots of space. There’s also a large decked area beneath the shade of a red canopy where groups can sit, chat and engage in more peaceful activities, such as reading, crafting, or playing board games.
One of the things visitors love most about staying at the Lodge is the food. And that’s all thanks to Mel, the on site chef who cooks every dish from scratch using the freshest seasonal ingredients. You’ll find in her mouth-watering repertoire everything from homemade pies, butter chicken, and lasagne to freshly baked brownies, and soft-as-you-like muffins. Rest assured, when Mel’s in the house, you won’t see jarred or pre-packed food anywhere, just the makings of wholesome cuisine, lovingly prepared.
