(At this stage there are still some smaller open plan ensuite cabins with double bed and triple bunks but these have not been block-booked. They are the same price as those above but might be uncomfortable for more than two people, in which case motel share might be just as good.)

General Notes

It is worth noting that where there are triple bunks listed the spaces between are small and the lower bunks might be too cramped. These may not sleep as many people comfortably as first appears.

There are other cabins and budget motels on the southern side of Narrabri that are quite some distance from town and may be of a lesser standard, and other options such as hotels and backpackers. We did use the other cabins for previous Synthesis Imaging Schools; however last time there were some problems reported by students. They are currently being refreshed under new ownership and we are waiting for further feedback before utilising them en mass again.

The Narrabri Shire Council's tourism page has an accommodation section which contains a full list of accommmodation providers. Please note that the rates listed in the document are not current and have generally increased from those listed.

If you do prefer another provider after viewing the options please let us know in your registration form and we can contact them to make the initial booking. Or if you prefer to look after your own accommodation then please let us know where you have booked. Otherwise please list your preferred option from the block bookings above and the ATNF will make the initial booking.
