MBRS Accommodation

Accommodation is available onsite at MBRS for all conference delegates. Bunk rooms are available that will contain up to four delegates at the cost of $30 each per night which is payable when you register. Options are available upon registering for groups to request rooms together.

​

A select few two person bunk rooms are also available but the exact number will not be known until closer to the conference. Requests for a two person room can be made when registering with preference given to any delegates that have greater need of one.

​

Apart from the conference dinner, all meals are provided at MBRS as part of your registration (Wed – Fri).
