Location & Facilities


LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

on the GREAT OCEAN ROAD!

Surrounded by gum trees and bushland, we are only a five-minute walk from the Anglesea shopping strip and a 15-20 minute walk to the ocean beach. The main beachfront is patrolled by lifesavers throughout summer and the river mouth of Anglesea River provides a sheltered paddling and beach area for family picnics or group activities.




    Brand-new facilities!

    Many people comment on Araluen’s serene, peaceful environment. Our facilities are suitable for schools, church groups and for any group wanting to gather together at a pleasant, well-appointed venue.

    Peak season ( Oct 1 – April 30) Minimum Guests of 60 patrons

    Off Peak ( May 1 – Sept 30 ) Minimum Guest of 40 Patrons


    DOWNLOAD BUILDINGS & DORMS LAYOUT

    In early 2021 a major upgrade was completed, including the complete remodelling of our dining hall and kitchen facilities. We now have the capability to cater for groups of more than 200 people. We have 24 well-maintained dormitories which are ensuited and are fully heated and cooled with reverse cycle units. Our bedding capacity is 170.
