Casuarina Lodge

Short term accommodation for patients generally living 100kms from Sydney.

Situated in the grounds of Westmead Hospital, Casuarina Lodge provides short term accommodation for patients who are receiving treatment from Westmead Hospital, Westmead Children’s Hospital or Westmead Private Hospital, and their families.

Patients must have a confirmed booking for treatment before requesting accommodation at the Lodge. Priority is given to cancer patients and their families but other families can be accommodated if there are rooms available.

There is also a chest of drawers, wardrobe, television, small refrigerator, air conditioner and a telephone (guests can receive in-coming calls - please notify reception beforehand. Outgoing calls cannot be made). All linen is provided.

Bathrooms are shared and designed to facilitate guests in wheelchairs. There are extra basins, full laundry facilities and dryers.

The kitchenettes contain a toaster, kettle and electric frying pan. There are no stoves but we have microwaves and a barbecue. Each room has a lockable cupboard in the kitchen.
