Our rustic Camp Kitchen has a big open fire for cold winter nights, a large gas barbecue and gas cook top, microwave, kettle & toaster, refrigerator/freezer and sink.

There is a laundry with washing machine and dryer (coin operated) at the rear of the blue amenities building which is kept sparkling clean.

Our large Convenience Store stocks groceries, eggs, dairy products, meat etc, soft drinks, ice-creams, etc. Broadband Internet $3 as long as you like. Petrol, Diesel, Elgas and Ice.
