Questions
About dining
Is lunch included?
Breakfast and dinner are included. Lunch is a simple menu at the lodge house, or a picnic for the creek.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, with notice. Our kitchen is small, so we cannot promise a nut-free environment, but we cook carefully.
Is there a bar?
A small bar serves zobo, juices, local beer and palm wine to adults, from 5pm.
