Accommodation

To obtain the special conference rates, accommodation bookings must be made through Convention Associates by entering your requirements on the registration form. Rates shown are per room (not per person) per night and include GST.

This is a very busy time for the resort and they have been obliged to set limitations as to how long they will make rooms available to the conference for those who register towards the end of the registration period. To ensure that you can obtain the accommodation that you require, it is strongly recommended that you do not delay in submitting your registration and accommodation requirements.
