This summer we are continuing a range of important practices to ensure we meet COVID-Safe requirements.

If you have concerns regarding COVID-19, rest assured Boali Lodge is taking social distancing, hygiene measures and visitor screening very seriously. We have increased our cleaning and sanitising procedures to ensure the health and comfort of our guests.

By arriving at the Lodge, you declare that you have not returned from overseas or been in contact with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 in the past 14 days, or are suffering from cold and flu symptoms.  You also declare that you have not visited any part of the Northern Beaches “hotspot”, or attended any of the venues/public transport routes in relation to the Avalon outbreak (viewable on www.covid19nearme.com.au ) since 11 December 2020.
