TimeOut Charity

Every year, more than 24,000 people and their families experience terminal illness in NZ.

TimeOut Charity connects generous holiday homeowners with people living with stage 4 cancer or an incurable illness, offering free stays across New Zealand so families can rest, reconnect and spend precious time together. Beyond the immense grief and emotional toll these illnesses take on all they affect, they also impact our most precious resource; time. By gifting experiences away from home, we

provide families with much-needed moments of relief, shared experiences and the opportunity to take a break from it all, spending time together. With over 50,000 holiday homes in New Zealand, we're on a mission to get kiwi donors on-board, so we can all lend a hand to those who need it.

We’re incredibly lucky to be supported by such a generous community of Kiwi holiday homeowners who open up their homes to families going through some of life’s toughest moments 💕

Stays like these create space for connection, rest, and precious time together - something that means so much when it matters most.

We’re always looking to grow our network of holiday homes and accommodation across Aotearoa. If you have a holiday home and would like to be part of what we do, we’d love to hear from you.

Did you know that one of our biggest challenges is simply reaching the people who could benefit from a TimeOut Stay?

At TimeOut Charity, generous holiday homeowners across Aotearoa donate stays in their properties for people living with stage 4 cancer or an incurable illness.

We currently have more than 260 donated holiday homes available nationwide, ready for families who could really use some time away together✨

But to make the most of these opportunities, we really need your help spreading the word!

If you know someone navigating advanced illness who might benefit from a few days to rest, reconnect, and spend meaningful time with family or friends, please consider letting them know about TimeOut. You could tag them, share this post, or pass it on privately.

“For us, this is a no-brainer…” 💛

Opening your holiday home can mean so much more than just a getaway. It’s a way to show families they’re cared for when life feels overwhelming.

To every homeowner who makes this possible – thank you.

Hello 2026!

Meri Kirihimete to our beautiful TimeOut community! 🎄

We hope your Christmas is filled with sunshine, laughter, and precious moments with loved ones.

As our generous holiday homeowners enjoy time in their properties over Christmas and January, we pause facilitation of stays during this period. But we’ll be back soon, applications will reopen from mid-late January, and we’ll start a waitlist then.

Wishing you a safe and joyful holiday season!

What a year!

Because of your generosity, 2025 was our biggest year yet. Together, we gave families facing an incurable diagnosis the chance to step away, breathe, and make memories that matter.

From every family who experienced the gift of time, thank you. Here’s to creating even more moments of joy in 2026. 💛

This summer, while many families gather to make memories, some are facing the heartbreak of knowing time together is limited.

Your donation can help give a family facing incurable illness the chance to reconnect, rest, and create moments that matter, in a peaceful holiday home.

Every dollar helps us facilitate more TimeOut stays in 2026.

This family’s TimeOut getaway was filled with kindness — from the welcoming accommodation to the quiet moments spent making memories together. Their story is one of many that show how a few nights away can mean the world.

To our holiday homeowners, supporters, and partners: thank you for helping us give families facing incurable illness the time that matters most.
