When will my membership be confirmed?
Once investors have completed their application, ID verification and investment is confirmed, the operator will make an official offer of membership, based on the minimum investment level outlined above.
Do I have to invest to become a member?
Memberships are limited, however the operator will make the exclusive offer of membership positions available to investors. Investors can decide to take-up their membership, allocate to someone else, or return to the operator. There will only be as many membership positions as investors, protecting the user experience. Surplus inventory from membership returned to the operator will be utilised for private and corporate event packages.
Does an investor have to take up a membership?
Membership is entirely optional for investors. Investors are offered a membership position each year for as long as they hold units in the trust. If the investor does not take up their membership, the investor may nominate their membership position to someone else or pass it up for the year and the operator will use the wave and accommodation inventory and monetise it either as additional purchased surfing hours or room nights to members or through private and corporate events.
Can the public surf or stay at Wisemans?
The way you can surf or stay at Wisemans is as a member, a guest of a member or a guest of a private or corporate event. The public has complete access to the restaurant and bar by Harvest, golf course and outdoor market garden areas.
How do I use and book my allocation?
As a member you will have access to the digital booking interface for Wisemans. Each member’s allocation of surfs and stays must be used across three seasons (Jan-Apr, May-Aug, Sept-Dec) on a “use-it-or-lose-it” policy to ensure equal member access across the year. Prior to each season beginning, members can pre-book their upcoming season of surfing and nights in the hotel. However, extra inventory will be reserved to enable a member to make ad hoc bookings throughout the season.
How do I know I’ll be able to go when I want to book?
If every member uses all of their surfs allocation, our forecast events program is fulfilled, and provisioning for maintenance periods and unforeseen closures, our operating model still has more than 30% of the total available waves unallocated, that's over 800,000 rides to ensure guest flexibility which are unallocated. This extra capacity is to ensure flexibility, so members can pre-book their seasons but also make last-minute decisions to head out to Wisemans and surf perfect waves.

Can I bring my friends and family?
As a member you are welcome to bring up to three guests at any one time, or your immediate family, to share your membership allocation. For example, if a member and three guests surf for one hour, that will equate to four hours of the member’s seasonal allocation.
Do I have to be there for a guest to enjoy my membership?
Yes, members need to be on-site at all times if they’re hosting guests, similar to a golf club or private social club.
What if I run out of my allocation?

What if I live outside of Sydney?
Members who live 250kms from Wisemans Ferry, the operator will offer an Out Of Town membership. This membership type allows for the usage of their entire allocation of surfs and stays at any time during the year.
Can I rent equipment on-site?
Yes, more details will be shared when membership offers are officially made later in the year. If you have an equipment failure during your surf, we’ll have an awaiting quiver ready to get you back into the lineup.
What if I’m a beginner or intermediate surfer?
Once our membership base is set, we’ll create a wave type schedule based on the needs of our members with a huge variety of wave types, sizes, breaking speeds and sections. Plus, you can utilise the services of Sydney Surf School and take part in learn-to-surf or development programs to progress your surfing.
What if my partner or guest isn’t a surfer?
Wisemans Surf Lodge has been designed to cater for the non-surfer as well. From gym access to the golf course, produce experiences with Harvest, river adventures and national parks, massage and day spa services, swimming pool and secluded gardens, there’s ample to do beyond the lineup.
Is the lodge environment suitable for kids?
Yes, Wisemans Surf Lodge has been designed to be the ultimate coastal getaway for families of all sizes, whether they’re surfers or not. From first strokes to a budding junior pro, the pool at Wisemans best accommodates all skill levels across both the main and inside peaks. The wave pool will at all times operate under the supervision of fully qualified lifeguards and surf coaches. For the kids who haven’t caught the surfing bug yet, there’s plenty of other amenities such as daily kids club and games room, outdoor eco playground, multi-purpose tennis court, pump track, Harvest garden and acres of space to explore.
