Hut Booking
Please check the availability of the hut before you book.
Please book at least 48 hours in advance of your preferred date. This allows receipt of your booking deposit and posting of a key.
The minimum number of people in the hut each night is 4. If you are only wanting to book for yourself book for dates when other people are staying or hassle your friends to come.
To make a booking a deposit of 20% of the hut fee + $50 key bond is required prior to the hut booking. The 20% deposit is only refundable up until 2 weeks prior to the booked nights, the $50 key bond is refundable on the return of the key. Keys will only be given or posted during the week prior to your stay once payment has been received.
Money can only be accepted as either cash (please have the correct amount as we do not carry change) in person or cheque (made out to MUSA) by mail or in person. The clubs postal address is:
