A brilliant game in which players solve a series of puzzles using clues & strategy to ultimately escape before the clock runs out. Use skill, logic & reasoning to solve the puzzles. Great team building, teaching the importance of communicating and working together. Experience an exhilarating adrenaline rush from playing the game, and give your brain a great workout.

Our experience with Perpetual Motion was excellent. The rooms are really well put together, the props are top notch and the puzzles are a good mix. Clues are provided as you need them, with smaller tips, and if necessary, more help in case you’re totally stuck. The game masters, Julia and Darren were amazing before and after. Since we were the last slot of the night, we were able to have a chat with them at great length about the design of the room, tips and tricks for working a room better and overall strategy that makes a great escape team. Overall, we had an amazing time!
4. Rose Seidler House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 31 reviews
When completed in 1950, Rose Seidler House was ‘the most talked about house in Sydney’. Today, still surrounded by bushland with panoramic views of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, the house is one of the finest examples of mid 20th-century modern domestic architecture in Australia. Open Sundays only, we encourage visitors to explore the house on their own, with our friendly guides on hand to provide information or help if needed. Please note that due to the fragility of the interior, you will be asked to remove your shoes when entering the house so remember to wear your best socks!

Lovely step away from busy everyday traffic onto the island's peace and quiet. No cars, only bird sounds! Leafy and tropical easy walk along the main road with side tracks to the beach spying waterfront humble abodes. Could see myself devouring books on my back deck or just lapping up lots of rest. Dine at the local club or cafe on the marina. Browse through the extensive book library whilst you wait for the return of the cute ferry with an informative and friendly ferry master. A well kept secret.

Am amazed how little ones are still attracted to the water and the adults enjoy meeting around the unique sculpture.
