The Canterbury Underwater Club Lodge offers a fantastic facility to both members and non-members with dedicated boat parking, gear washing facilities, fish filleting stations, crayfish cooker and a communal cooking and living area.
Please remember that while pillows with pillowcases and bottom sheets are provided, you need to bring your own bedding. A laundry fee of $5 per person per stay is required to cover the cost of commercially laundering the CUC sheets after your stay. This is payable at check in when picking up the key.
The lodge can sleep a maximum of 20 people in its’ five rooms, specific rooms can be requested when booking but may change to accommodate the numbers of person in a party.
The Annex rooms (11 to 16) can sleep up to 16 people and will be reserved for members only unless the entire Lodge has been pre-booked for a Group.
This will not apply to holiday weekends and may be varied for either of the above if the lodge is only or likely to be partially occupied during your stay.
