Our story

It started in a Belgian chateau.

In 2005 I attended a singles weekend in Belgium — 30 people, a beautiful chateau in the Ardennes, great food, great wine, and zero awkwardness. By Sunday I'd made genuine friends and had some of the best conversations of my life.

That weekend was organised by a man who simply wanted to meet interesting people. He placed one ad. The response was enormous. Twenty years later that small idea had grown into one of Europe's most loved singles travel companies, with tens of thousands of guests.

I never forgot what that weekend felt like. And I couldn't understand why nothing like it existed in Australia. So I decided to change that.

Before you ask

This is not a dating event.

The goal is simply to have a great weekend with interesting people. Whether anything more comes of it is entirely up to you. Most guests leave with new friendships. Some leave with more. But nobody leaves disappointed.

Know nobody beforehand
That's the point. Everyone is in the same boat — which means the ice breaks faster than you'd expect.
0
Compulsory activities
Nothing is forced. Join in when you want. Disappear with a book and a glass of wine when you don't. Freedom is the whole point.

People. Not 300.
Small enough to know everyone by Saturday morning. Large enough that you'll find your people. This size is deliberate.
Our promises

The Singles Weekend Guarantees.

We don't leave the important things to chance. These are our commitments to every guest, every event.

⚖
Balance Guarantee
Always exactly 15 men and 15 women. If the balance can't be maintained we will delay the event rather than compromise the group.
🎂
Age Guarantee
Events are grouped into tight age brackets. You will always be with people roughly your own age — no surprises.
🏠
Room Guarantee
Shared rooms are always single-sex. Men with men, women with women. Each guest has their own bed. Always.
🔒
Privacy Guarantee
Your personal details are never shared with other guests. Your information is used only to verify your booking and nothing else.
🛡
Safety Guarantee
Every guest is vetted before attending. A dedicated host is present and sober throughout the entire weekend. Read our full safety policy.
✓
No Pressure Guarantee
Nothing is compulsory. Join activities when you want. Rest when you don't. This is your weekend — we just provide the setting.
