Please be aware, as with all glamping experiences you will be more exposed to the weather. We do all we can make your stay comfortable even on the coolest or hottest days of the year. In winter, warm clothes and appropriate footwear (gumboots!) are key.

Other things to note
We have 2 friendly collie dogs that will likely want to say hello.
We are part of a working farm so the normal farm workings will be going on over the hill side. Being an outdoor living space mosquito and the odd bug is expected. As with all glamping type experiences you'll be more exposed to the weather. On cold or wet days enjoy a hot chocolate and curl up inside the cabin and watch the dramatic views unfold as the day progresses.

The Retreat has a non flushing compositing toilet.

There is a gas hob, kettle, toaster and cooking essentials in the kitchen but no oven.
