The ROW-5 meeting will be held at Costanoa Lodge and Retreat on California' Pacific coast between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. The site is a spectacular meadow between the ocean and the redwood-studded coastal mountains. It is located on property adjacent to Pt. Ano Nuevo State Park.

Housing Options and Meeting Costs

The Costanoa retreat was built in 1999. It has a range of lodging options available and ROW-5 has a block of rooms reserved that span these options. In addition, meeting participants can choose from the options outside the main block of rooms.

How to Reserve Your Lodging

All room reservations for ROW-5 must be made and paid for directly with Costanoa. The meeting registration fee, which will be collected by the meeting secretary before or during the workshop, will cover the costs of meeting facilities, meals, coffee breaks, and group tours.

A Note about Double Occupancy Options

To conserve costs, participants have the option to share rooms. However, both the number and types of rooms available with two separate beds are limited. All of the available double bed options in the main lodge and the main cabins (5 each) have been reserved for ROW-5. Other options, except for the Pine Village Tent Bungalows, contain one bed only.

Only the lodge rooms have bathrooms in each room. All other rooms have shared comfort center facilities, which are very luxurious but detached. These are described on the Costanoa web site.

The double-occupancy rooms in the lodge and nearby cabins will be available to the first 20 participants who register for the meeting. If you would like to share one of these rooms, and you do not already have a meeting partner, please send an email to Jeff Paduan noting your roommate preference.
