To keep accommodation rates low, we ask guests to assist in the smooth running of the lodge by taking part in a few tasks. These include cleaning your own room and en suite, and some of the shared areas of the lodge.

A list of these simple tasks can be found on the back of each bedroom door and on the noticeboard in the lounge room.
