Transport to and from Yambulla.
Ask us if you need help planning your travel.
Yambulla is located deep within the South-East Forests National Park, near the southern border of NSW. Near the coast, we are equidistant from Bombala, Eden and Mallacoota. Approximately 7 hours drive from Sydney, 7 hours drive from Melbourne, 4 hours drive from Canberra and 1 hour drive from Merimbula Airport.
Flights from Sydney or Melbourne to Merimbula are either with Rex Airlines or Qantas, check their websites for schedules.
We can help you arrange a hire car from the airport or, for an extra charge, we can pick you up and drop you off (free for school holiday packages).
Please be advised, if you are coming in your own car, the last 40 kms of the drive is on an unsealed, reasonable all-weather 2WD road. In addition the last 60km is without mobile phone reception. If you are uncomfortable with this, contact us and we can talk through some options of perhaps leaving your car in a secure lock-up and us transferring you to the site.
Good, comfortable walking shoes that can get muddy/wet are essential
Long pants are essential as they must be worn for walking on some parts of the property
Wet weather jacket in case of rain
Warm clothing all year round. Surprisingly it can be cool in the summer
Sun hat and sunscreen
Swimmers if you want a dip in the pool
Pets
Impractical clothing and footwear
We would prefer if you didn't bring hairdryers and straighteners as they place a huge burden on our solar power

Cancellation by Yambulla
Yambulla reserves the right to cancel any Lodge Stay without reason up until 60 days before the scheduled arrival date. Any amounts paid will be refunded.

Yambulla reserves the right to cancel or change any Lodge Stay at any time prior to arrival, due to natural disasters, weather conditions or any events or circumstances that make it unviable or unsafe for Yambulla to operate our planned schedule. In these circumstances we will do our best to reschedule. If the rescheduled dates do not work for you a full refund will be issued.
Yambulla will cancel all Lodge Stays in the event of Extreme fire conditions (or higher) for the area, as prescribed by the RFS.
Yambulla will not be responsible for reimbursing cost of flights, accommodation, hire car, meals or any other incidental costs which may be incurred in relation to cancelled Lodge Stays. Travel insurance is therefore strongly recommended to cover these expenses.
Yambulla reserves the right to alter the itinerary of any Lodge Stay as required to ensure the safety and well-being of our guests and guides.
