1. AVAILABLE CABINS/ROOMS

The Lodge has 4 cabins, AND 6 upstairs, guest rooms

 

The Cabins all have an ensuite with shower, toilet and vanity unit and a balcony offering glorious views. However there are NO cooking facilities in our rooms, because of the limited electricity and water facilities. You are welcome to self cater, using our fantastic “community” commercial kitchen

 

The upstairs guest rooms, all have stunning views, and share 2 shower rooms, and 2 toilets, each with mirrors and basins.

 

The main building has a community kitchen, large area dining area with fire, large lounge with open fire, and large adjoining balcony’s, facing north and south. The cabin and house balconies are the areas where  guest’s spend most time, chilling out, chatting, & soaking up the Island’s isolation, bird-life and scenery.

3. COSTS: (Tariffs)

Saturday Nights: $120 B&B for an ensuite cabin, $85 B&B for the upstairs rooms. (important: see note ii below)

Other Nights: $100 B&B for an ensuite cabin, $75 B&B for the upstairs rooms.

Notes:

i). This price includes continental breakfast, which is cereals, bowl of fruit, juices, toast and tea/coffee. A cooked breakfast is available at a little extra cost, but please order at the time of booking.

ii). Costs are irrespective of how many people you would like to bring so if there are 3 of you and you share, obviously the costs will be (say) for the upstairs rooms on weeknights, ($75 divided by 3) is $25 pp per night. However, we do have a minimum price of $25 pp to cover costs etc.

iii) If you are a single and require your own room, subtract $20 off the above nightly room rates. However, if you would like to stay a few nights, please discuss

iv) If you stay two nights including a Saturday night, then the rates are the weeknight rate, for both nights.

v) If you have a group of 6 or more paying guests, or planning staying more than two or three nights, or having a private party or function, please ring me to negotiate a special deal.

 

4. CATERING ARRANGEMENTS

As, I am NOT a professional chef, I suggest (if you come) that we do a mix of self catering and restaurant style meals at the general store/café (main $25, sweets $6). The general store is a 5 minute drive away, and I am happy to taxi you there and back free of charge.

 

From time to time, we do employ local “gourmet” chefs (depending on numbers), but we recommend self catering, as our kitchen is organised for ease of cooking, serving etc, and the views out our kitchen window are quite stunning and stimulating, and……. I do ALL the cleaning up. (So you do the fun part, I do the yukky part)

 

5. CHILDREN:

Children are welcome, but it is expected that they will be supervised at all times.

 

6. PETS

At this time, we regret we cannot accommodate large pets. However if you have a small dog, or cat which is particularly well behaved, and have your own portable pet-bed/basket please discuss. It is hoped that in the future we will have warm/safe kennels for larger animals.
