Connection
Connection is essential for Life to the full.
Dr Brene Brown describes connection as, “The energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued.” This form of connection and interaction matters to us, we want to achieve all of those things, so that anyone who steps foot on our site feels like they are part of a community, like they belong.
Interaction, community, belonging

We witness transformation every day at The Tops, as our guests discover, overcome and expand. We see true metamorphosis.
Expansion, transformation, discover, overcoming, metamorphosis
Place & space
Place & space are essential for Life to the full.
Community cannot exist without places & spaces — it’s where we find connection. We are so fortunate to be hemmed in by beautiful bushland, an environment perfect for you to connect with nature through immersive experiences, retreating from the everyday. In fact, research tells us that anxiety and stress dissipate when we commune in spaces full of nature.
