FAQs

Location, Accomodation & Getting Here

  • You’ll find us nestled on the beautiful mid-north coast of New South Wales, just outside of Crescent Head. We’re surrounded by national parks, world-class surf breaks, and all the chill vibes you’d expect from a surf adventure.

  • Easy. If you’re flying, the nearest airports are Port Macquarie (about 45 mins away) or Coffs Harbour (about 1.5 hours). If you’re driving, we’re just off the Pacific Highway. We’ll send you exact directions when you book. Need a lift? Let us know—we can help organise a transfer.

  • We offer a range of 14 rooms to sleep 30+ guests comfortably.

    Settle in to a king suite, queen twin, or family room with ensuite.

  • Yes, but we like to think of Surfaris as a place to disconnect a little. Use it if you need to, but don’t be surprised if you forget to check your phone for a few days.

  • Yes, but no lifeguards are on duty. Swim responsibly and supervise minors at all times.

Weddings & Events

  • We specialise in relaxed, non-traditional weddings for couples who like to do things their own way. From barefoot ceremonies in the bush to weekend-long celebrations by the pool, we’re all about customisable, curated experiences.

  • Absolutely. That’s the Surfaris way. We encourage a full weekend of celebrations with your loved ones. We offer 14 rooms that sleep 30+ guests comfortably in king, queen, and family ensuite rooms.

  • Catering is fully customisable. You can self-cater, bring in a food truck, or let us help coordinate with trusted local vendors. We highly recommend grazing tables, food trucks, or cocktail-style catering for a laid-back, memorable experience.

  • Yes! We offer bar and beverage packages that include your choice of wines, beers, non-alcoholic drinks, and cocktails—plus wait staff and cleanup. You can also choose a premium Poolside Package with bottomless brunch vibes the day after the wedding.

  • Vendors can bump in from 10:00 AM on your check-in day. Guest check-in is from 2:00 PM, and check-out is by 11:30 AM.

  • Of course. Surfaris is stunning as is, but if you want to dial up the style, we can connect you with our trusted stylists and florists who know the space intimately and work sustainably.

  • Yes. We love a good party, but out of respect for our surroundings and neighbours, amplified music and excessive noise must finish by 11:00 PM. This includes DJs, bands, microphones, and loudspeaker systems.

  • Absolutely. Surfaris is a safe, inclusive space for all love stories. Come as you are.

Payments & Policies

  • A $5,000 deposit secures your date. It’s 50% non-refundable if cancelled within 120 days, and fully non-refundable within 90 days of your event. Final payment is due 30 days before your event. A $1,500 bond is also held on arrival for damages or fines.

  • Yes!

Surf Retreats

  • We’re lucky to have consistent waves year-round. From mellow beach breaks for beginners to peeling point breaks for the more advanced, there’s something for every surfer. Plus, our experienced coaches will find the best conditions for your level each day.

  • Absolutely. We welcome everyone from total beginners to seasoned surfers. Our coaches are legends at getting first-timers standing and helping experienced surfers fine-tune their skills.

  • Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat, casual clothes, something warm for the evenings, and any personal toiletries. We provide surfboards, wetsuits, and good times.

  • Of course! If you have gear you love, bring it along. Otherwise, we’ve got a great quiver of boards and suits you’re welcome to use.

  • Totally. Loads of our guests come solo and leave with a bunch of new mates. The vibe is friendly, welcoming, and all about shared stoke.

  • No waves? No worries. We’ve got plenty of other activities like bushwalks, yoga, campfires, games, and more. Or you can just relax in a hammock and recharge.
