Easter at Yanakie with Wilson Promontory walks

Enjoy the comfort of a home base, together with access to the world class Wilsons Promontory National Park for day walks.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy/Medium – day walks and beach activities. 

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: 
We have a private house at Yanakie overlooking Corner Inlet just outside the park entrance. You can come down for as many days as you like. It is quite flexible. There are many nice day walks in the area. We will decide where to walk each day taking into account the condition of the weather and the participants. The base offers hot showers, comfortable accommodation and a log fire to warm up if the day is cold. 

Shower and toilet facilities are available in the house. Camping is available on the property. Bed and floor space is limited in the house, so it will be allocated on a needs basis. Alternatively you can look for accommodation close by, but book early as Easter time is busy.

There is very limited shopping in the area. Bring your own breakfasts and lunches. On Friday night a BBQ is offered. Bring your own meat/veggie burger and anything you like to accompany that. Saturday and Sunday night meals are provided for a small donation.

Roger no longer owns the property, so there is now a small fee of $7 per person, per night (Fri/Sat/Sun) to cover costs. To make things simple it is the same fee whether you camp, or squash into the house. Visitors should take out a Temporary 1 month membership (cost $8) prior to selecting Get Tickets.

BOOKING: By Friday 8th April. To register, click on Get Tickets. There is a limit of 30 people, and it is on a first-booked first-served basis.
