  Mallacoota Motel Hotel

  
  

  Welcome to all those who feel like visiting the eastern most part of Victoria and catching up with our fellow riders from the Canberra BMW motorcycle club for a festive “Christmas in July” gathering.

  
  

  We’ll be meeting at the Mallacoota Hotel Motel at 6pm for a lovely evening, which includes dinner, entertainment and speeches.

  For those who haven’t been to Mallacoota; imagine a tranquil & lovely fishing village on the eastern most point of Victoria, looking out over the ocean to New Zealand and which invites you to discover this secluded part of Victoria.

  
  

  For our fellow Melbourne-based riders Ian McKenna will organise rides to Mallacoota, spanning over 4 days. We’ll start on Friday and come back to Melbourne on Monday with stops at a car museum and visits to the Buchan caves (keep an eye out for the rides section in the BMW Website).

  
  

  Accommodation is varied; so you have a choice of staying at the Mallacoota Motel Hotel or one of the 3 Caravan parks in town:

  Www.mallacootaforeshore.com.au

  Www.mallacootacaravanpark.com.au

  Www.mallacootacabins.com.au

  
  

  Please register at your earliest convenience on the website so we can advise the Hotel how many will come for dinner, then book a cabin or camping site fairly quickly.

  There is an “à la carte” menu available and breakfast on Sunday morning.
