We encourage all of our family and friends to book their accommodation well in advance, if you would like to attend the wedding, as it will be peak holiday season!!
Being peak holiday season, a lot of accommodation is only available for a minimum of 1 week (Saturday to Saturday). However, we have listed a few options below offering a minimum of 1-2 nights stay. We will be staying for the whole week, swimming, watching dolphins and eating gelati every day and would love to hang out with any of our guests that can stay longer too. A great way to stay the week and keep costs down is to book with a group of friends, as some of the houses sleep between 6-12 people. There are also a number of camping grounds within walking distance to the wedding venue.
Our wedding venue will be at Home Beach in Point Lookout. It will be best to look for accommodation in Point Lookout.
We've provided a range of links and options below to help you book:

If you can book with a group, a house will end up being an affordable way to have an island holiday for a week! There are some great houses that sleep 4-12 people, walking distance to beaches and shops. Some houses can be between $1000-$3000 for a week. However if you're with a group of 6 or more can really cut the costs down!
