Questions facilitators ask us
Every facilitator has them. Here are straight answers.
Will the space feel right for my group?
Come and walk the land. Most facilitators know within ten minutes.
What if it rains?
It's a rainforest, so sometimes it will. The shalas and the house give you options, and plenty of groups say the rain became part of the magic.
Will my guests be comfortable?
Proper beds, organic cotton linen and towels, the renovated house and glass-roofed amenities. Rustic in spirit, comfortable where it counts.
What if fewer guests book than I planned?
Final numbers are due X days before arrival. The base rate covers up to 15 guests, so smaller groups still work.
What if something goes wrong on site?
You're not on your own. The Avana manager coordinates the logistics with you before you arrive, and our on-site team know every corner of the land and support you throughout.
Is it hard for guests to get to?
No. Thirty minutes from Byron Bay, in Wilsons Creek.
