Bookings
Bulwarra Seaside Apartments, Terrigal
Eligibility Requirements
As Bulwarra Resort is a holiday destination for Australian Defence Force members and their families, there are eligibility requirements for guests wishing to stay with us. Therefore, guests must fall into at least one of the following categories:
- You or a family member are a current serving or former member of the Australian Defence Force.
- You or a family member are a current serving or former member of an Allied Defence Force.
- You or a family member are employed by the Australian Public Service (APS) working for the Department of Defence.
- You or a family member are employed by either the NSW or Commonwealth Emergency Services (e.g. Police, Ambulance, Fire and Rescue, SES, Road and Maritime Services, etc.)
Defence, APS or emergency service workers do not need to accompany family members during their stay.
Bookings can be made up to twelve months in advance and, other than the Christmas school holidays where serving soldiers are given priority (see next section), bookings are taken on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Overnight bookings are usually accepted.
Check-In Times
Guests may check-in from 2pm. Check-out time is 10am on most days, except for Sundays. We have brought back the long weekend! We recognise families are busy during the week and even on Saturdays with school sport etc, so we invite you to stay as long as you like on a “Long Weekend Sunday”. Book for at least a Saturday night and check out on Sunday when it suits you, or stay until 10am Monday at no extra cost. The “Long Weekend Sunday” offer does not apply to Sundays that form part of a gazetted public holiday weekend or school holiday period.
Early check-in and late check-out may be possible on other days depending on room availability. Please contact Management giving at least 24 hours notice.
Christmas Bookings
Due to the high demand for accommodation over the Christmas holidays, current serving members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) are given priority over this period. Therefore, for any given Christmas period, serving members in the ADF may place their booking from 1 February. All other guests may place their booking from 1 June.
