Camps and events for children, young people and families are still held onsite, as are tours of the historic buildings.
In 1943, the Gospel Fishermen Mission leased Tanilba House, which is 8 km (5 mi) directly across the bay from Tahlee.
Over the next year, applications to rent the property to the mission were forwarded to the owner, Mr. Alfrey Beecher Stewart White, who used Tahlee as a holiday house.
In 1959, Mr White offered the property to the Gospel Fishermen, who bought the land and buildings using large donation.
A committee of Mission Society leaders had been formed to inaugurate this course and Tahlee was eventually chosen as the most suitable venue.
