TICKWOGH CABINS

Tickwogh campers stay in two of our newest lodges, Rush and Vale (aka the Tickwogh Tall Ships). With large rooftop decks and porches, there is plenty of space to hangout after a long day of watersports. These cabins are located right on Waterfront road so there’s only a short walk down to the beach for activity time.
