Bateman's Bay Marina Resort

Col W.

 

We have made arrangements with Batemans Bay Marina Resort

https://hampshireholidays.com.au/park/batemans-bay-marina-resort/?utm_source=googlemybusiness&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=park-listing

as we did for this years stay at Huskisson.

You will need to organize your group to share with and make your own bookings.

This can be done by phoning the resort  4472 4392 and telling them you are booking for Illawarra Out Door Club. This will get you a 15% discount on the booking.

The cabins have both double and single beds but all doubles can be made into 2 singles. Some cabins have a ramp entry but are not fitted as disability rooms. Still quite large.

There is a large variety of cabin sizes. Follow the web, also lots to do.

Please organize your groups and book early’.
