Parking
Participants can choose to park undercover, on-site, for a fee of $10 per day.
Guests staying at the hotel can choose to park on site for a fee of $15 per night.
Instructions:
Guest will drive in either entrance and park anywhere. The camera will scan your licence plate and open the gate automatically.
Entrance off West Coast Highway and into the main Hotel driveway, entrance is at the end of the driveway. 1.9 metres clearance
Entrance under Lookout Bar (glass balcony) on the Esplanade. 2 metres clearance.
When they come up to the conference room, there will be a QR code in a frame which they will need to scan. Operations team usually put this out from morning tea onwards.
A web page will open up for DRIVO, and they will need to put in their licence plate, and dates.
So, they will put the same date if just there for the day. Or they can put the 1st to 4th if there for all four days.
They will then be asked for their name and email address.
Finally last thing is card number, each guest puts in their card details so DRIVO will then charge their own card for the number of days they are there, and send them confirmation and receipt of booking.
Each person parking needs to make sure they do this before they drive out at the end of the day. If it is not done and they go to the exit gate, the boom gate will say they owe money per hour for their parking (so about $60.00), so just make sure everyone does it so they are not overcharged!
Those that book accommodation will do their parking at check in with the reception team.
