Accommodation
Accommodation options are numerous, given that the club is based close to Wollongong and Shellharbour.
Camping
The cheapest option though is to camp at the club. During regattas, a large area of grass directly in front of the club is reserved for camping and the club facilities accessible for campers.
For those needing other forms of accommodation, we would suggest staying in the Windang, Barrack Point, Shellharbour area. This area has a touristy feel and is located on the beach and is approximately 15 minutes drive (or 30 minutes for those keen cyclists on the cycle way) from the club.
