Our Stories

TimeOut exists because of the incredible generosity of our donors, our wonderful recipients, and the love of the families who support them. Every stay is a story—of connection, kindness, and community. It's about people coming together to offer their time, space, and care to those who need it most.

Here are some of the meaningful stories made possible through TimeOut.

Holiday Home Owner Quotes

  • TimeOut is such a beautiful way to share our family holiday home with other whanau going through such tough times. My dad had leukemia for 14 years and many of his happiest days were spent there. After he passed, my mum always wanted to be able to share our beautiful beach with others in similar situations but we didn’t know how to do that until we heard Time Out being advertised on the radio. The organisation makes the whole process very easy and recipient families have been friendly and responsible, almost taking better care of the place than we do ourselves. If you have a holiday home that sits empty some of the time as ours does, I really recommend registering with TimeOut. Selfishly, it feels good to be able to help another whanau in such a simple way.
