Villas and Cabins will only be available for booking through us via Trybooking until the 5th of July 2026, after which bookings are self-organized directly with the Sport and Recreation Centre. This is due to the Sport and Recreation centre’s cancellation policy.
Beach House Lodge bunks and single beds will remain available via Trybooking until capacity is reached.
OFFSITE ACCOMMODATION
➢ Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation centre does not allow vans sleeping in their carparks and will monitor/prohibit that from happening. Therefore, if it is your desire to sleep in your van/camper/tent, etc please book as early as possible for a site at Reflection Caravan park 1 Km walk away from the sport and recreation centre Flat Rock tent park 9.5km drive away from the sport and recreation centre.
➢ Billeting with Locals through the provided Whatsapp Group.
➢ AirBnB’s and motels/hotels are an option although expensive.
We want to acknowledge and express our gratitude and appreciation for all the locals willing to commute. As a local dancer, you driving in and out every day is the reason why dancers from further grounds can join us here and dance with us!

The catering company might not be able to cater to FODMAP, Celiac or medical dietary requirement.
NON DANCERS: for any family members staying onsite or offsite, but not participating in the festival, lunch and dinner can be provided and paid for through the Trybooking registration form.
Kitchen and Meal Logistics for Onsite Accommodation
Because all meals will be delivered and shared across the festival, the kitchens in the cabins, villas and Beachside Lodge will be used as communal food points rather than private kitchens.
Each accommodation has fridges, dishwashers and indoor/outdoor tables, and locals commuting will be assigned to specific onsite accommodations to base their crockery and use the kitchen facilities for washing and storage. This means that, while you have your own bed and room allocation, the kitchen areas of all onsite accommodations will be shared to support the festival’s meal logistics.
It’s part of the collective nature of the event and helps us work within the centre’s restrictions while still creating a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
