accommodation.

By clicking on any of the links below you’ll be taken to a google map that shows a list of names, contact and booking details and location of that style of accommodation.

1. Motels, B & Bs

2. Self catering apartments and houses

Wombats B&B “(found in Category 1. Motels, B&Bs) also has self catered accommodation and can take small and large groups and is worth a look as it is very close to the sailing club and sailing area. Other accommodation of this style is a bit further away on the coast. If that would suit you better than you need to get in early as Terrigal and Avoca are more holiday areas.

3. Hotels

It may say sound strange to include hotel listings but the Hotel Gosford is very conveniently located, has a really good looking bistro dining area, great art deco ambience and very good rates. In the words of one our sailors – some of us stayed there earlier this year when GSC hosted the NSW State Titles – “I’ll be looking for a hotel for the week. I know that Hotel Gosford does specials for week long stays. I also like the hotel, I think the 1920s retro is kinda cool. I’d be quite keen to stay there. And who could argue with a base rate of $50 a night !”

The sailing conditions at Yarrawonga are just fabulous for dinghy classes. The clubhouse has a grassed foreshore to the waters edge, with two small bays for launching OTB yachts. Lake Mulwala provides great sailing conditions and is easily viewed from a wide range of vantage points, as the sailing area is just offshore and the yacht club is just 2 kms away from the main town area.

The Notice of Race is available here: NOR for Aust Championships 2015-2016

The clubhouse has a large commercial kitchen, a nice lounge room, men’s and ladies toilets/showers. Adjacent to the clubhouse is a public toilet block and a popular children’s playground.

The Yarrawonga town and it’s district has lots for the visitor/tourist. The website www.yarrawongamulwala.com.au has lots of detail and provides that you can book local accomodation in the event that you don’t wish to camp at the club ( but the camping at the club is second to none- it’s most popular and only permitted at regattas).

The Rutherglen wine district is only 30-40 minutes away. You may also wish to view the town map, atwww.yarrawongamulwala.com.au/information/getting-around.html and will see that the close proximity to the town permits easy shopping, coffee shops, hotels, clubs etc. Whilst the sailors sail, there’s heaps for the partners and families to do, just minutes away.
