Recommendable Accommodation for a Team
[Cocos Castaway]
This accommodation is situated besides the west seashore . From the gate of the airport , we can reach this accommodation after only 1 minutes walk .
Houses are mainly row type . (There are many houses)
The left photo is a solitary house for 3-4 people in front of the wide yard (garden) . This housing would be a good operation room .
Making antenna is easy because there are wide space of ground . Please look at the left photo .
We can see the West seashore at the left side in this picture .
My guide said , many team uses this accommodation .

[Cocos Homestead]
This accommodation is situated besides the runway of the airport .
(We can see the runway , back of the left picture)
About 5 to 7 minutes walk from the gate of the airport .
This accommodation is a big one house .
There are 3 rooms for sleeping and a wide living room . About 5 or 6 people can stay here , I think .
There are wide space in the yard (garden ) and these are enough for antenna construction .
(This picture is taken from the position besides a big tree in the yard . We are watching to the east direction )
There is a big tree in the yard ( garden) .
The west seashore is back of the tree , only about 10 meters .
Also , many team uses this accommodation .
