Packages:
The “Full Conference Package” includes lodging and meals from Wednesday dinner through lunch on Saturday. Asilomar lodging is shared, with 2 to 4 people per room, unless you pay the extra private room fee. If you don’t specify who you wish to room with, you will be assigned from one to three roommates of your gender.

Lodging - Asilomar
Set among Monterey pines and cypress, clusters of richly rustic wood and stone buildings will house conference participants. Comfortable rooms vary in size, with two to four persons per room. Rooms have private showers and bedding is provided. Asilomar rooms DO NOT have telephones. Rooms are available at 3pm on the day you arrive, but not before. Asilomar lodging always includes the following meals with each night’s stay: dinner on the night of stay, breakfast and lunch the next day.

Because not everyone is able to attend for the full time, we also offer single night stays. A single night entitles you to the conference both the day of and the day after your stay, and three meals.

EFA's ability to remain at Asilomar and expand the Eco-Farm Conference is determined by filling up rooms on the Asilomar grounds. The more of you who stay at Asilomar, the more our future there can develop. Thanks!

For those who stay in a motel we offer a “Full Conference Package” at The Pacific Garden Inn or The Deerhaven Inn, in close proximity to the conference and motel conveniences with the same meals as above. The rooms are single or double occupancy. Contact EFA (831-763-2111) if you wish to reserve a suite for slightly more money, or reserve the motel package without a meal pass.

All motel rooms have telephones and televisions in the rooms, which the Asilomar rooms do not have. All motel rooms are non-smoking.

The Pacific Garden Inn is across the street from the conference center and offers rooms with fireplaces, coffee-makers, and a continental breakfast. Amenities include a choice of one or two queen-sized beds, two jacuzzis and complimentary wine and cheese.

The Deerhaven Inn is across from the entrance to the Asilomar grounds. Rooms are modern and comfortable. They have a variety of rooms with either king or queen-sized beds. Additionally some rooms are “Junior Suites,” with a sitting area and kitchenette in addition to the queen bed. Larger suites (one or two bedroom) are available by special request from our office.

We often sell out of Asilomar rooms and motel rooms before the winter holidays, so register early!

Roommates
If you don’t specify with whom you would like to share a room on the registration form, you will be assigned roommates of the same gender. (One bed is assigned per person). Spouses will be automatically assigned together if they have the same last name or arrive in the same envelope or fax, but all other roommates must be requested. If you wish to request a roommate who is not registering at the same time as you, you must be staying for exactly the same nights that they are, and make sure that they have also requested you as their roommate. Roommate requests will only be held for 2 weeks from receipt for the other roommate to register.
We can honor other types of room requests, especially for early registrants. These include specific buildings, older (and quainter) rooms, first or second floor, and a queen instead of two double beds (there are no king size beds). The later you register, the less flexibility we have with your rooming needs.
