Coastal Forest Lodge offers groups the opportunity to exclusive self cater hire. Self catering is an economic and flexible alternative when organising group accommodation.

Self Cater means your group provides the requisites necessary for an enjoyable stay using our facilities.  The catering and cleaning is your responsibility.

It’s $44.00pp per night (GST included). A minimum 30 people for two nights must be paid thus $2640.00 per stay. Any additional people are $44.00pp per night. A list of attendees must be provided before arrival. Full payment must be received before the camp commences.

Upon booking a deposit must be paid and it’s non-refundable if the camp is cancelled within six months of the first date booked.
