Accommodation
Our accommodation options include tent/van sites and beds in our hostel and shared cabins. Our on-site accommodation is very popular, so spaces fill up very quickly. The rate for our beds in our hostel or shared cabins is $160 per person per week and $50 per person per week for non-powered tent/van sites.
We also have off-site accommodation throughout the region, and we provide transport to and from the orchards. The rates for off-site accommodation range between $180 and $220 per person per week for a bed in a shared room or dorm, and $40 to $80 for a campsite (tent or van)
Please let us know in your application form if you require accommodation, and which kind.
