Eden Accommodation

Those intending to attend the Bega Valley Rally shouldn’t leave making their accommodation bookings for too long.Eden is most attractive and this is one reason why the event is being based there, BUT…………. it is also very attractive to other events. There will be several major activities around the district over the June long weekend and Eden takes any overflow from the now well-established and prestigious Jazz Festival conducted at Merimbula ‘just up the road’.

Eden has a good selection of motels, hotels and caravan parks offering accommodation of different levels and the Eden Visitor Information Centre will be pleased to make any bookings, although payment is to be made direct to the accommodation site.

Snug Cove Wharf Start Area

The Bega Valley Rally’s base at Eden will provide one of a most picturesque and social starts to a rally.

The event will start from the Snug Cove wharf, with the first vehicle leaving at 8:00am, and the remainder of the field at two minute intervals. The start line will be located at the Matthews Flinders and George Bass plaque commemorating his being at this spot in 1798 – some 210 years ago!

Vehicles will assemble in the wharf area prior to leaving, with plenty of opportunity to enjoy breakfast or coffee from one of the cafes. By comparison, the finish will be low key, with vehicles arriving and parking at the Eden Fishermen’s Club car park ………. however, there is the Club to provide a highlight!!
