Ask our desk for a room

Tell me your dates and the kind of evening you are after. The desk checks the room and the rate with the resort or a booking partner and answers by email.

Your name Email for the reply Phone (optional) Guests Arriving (YYYY-MM-DD) Leaving (YYYY-MM-DD) Room you have in mind What kind of trip Anything the desk should know

I agree that Mindil Sunset Stays may email (or phone, if I gave a number) about this request. Details in the privacy note.

This is a request, not a booking: no card details, nothing is charged. If a request from this page turns into a confirmed stay, the resort or the booking partner who completes it pays this site a commission; you pay nothing extra to us. How we are paid.

Thank you — your request is with the desk. Expect an email reply; nothing is booked until you confirm with the hotel or partner.

The request did not go through. Please try again in a minute or write to hello@mindilsunsetstays.com.
