Bookings
Bookings are essential and late bookings are OK - if we have space we will fit you in even at short notice!
Children can be booked in for as many days and/or nights as they want to come during the school holiday period, or even for just one day as a taster!
Children aged 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
We welcome mums, aunties, grandmas, dads, uncles and granddads too! To plan our overnight accomodation we will need to know the gender of everyone booking in overnight. Bunkrooms will be organised as either same gender, or same family groups.
We have room on the lawn for those who prefer to bring a small tent and sleep outside.
Bookings will be confirmed only on receipt of payment, internet banking preferred.
Meals
Breakfast – choices of cereals, toast, spreads
Lunch – breads, spreads and filling to create sandwiches, instant noodles, apples, grapefruit, oranges
Dinner – meat (mince or sausages) (vegetarian options - fish fingers, eggs or baked beans), potatoes or rice and vegetables
Drinks – water, tea, coffee, milo, sugar and milk are available for you to help yourself
Snacks and other drinks – you are welcome to bring your own
Arrivals and departures
We are flexible about pick up and drop off times for working parents, however it would be best to arrive no later than 9.30am and the latest pickup by 9.00pm.
For overnight stays we prefer an evening drop off and a pick up the following evening about the same time.
Unfortunately we are not able to offer a pickup and drop off service to town.

Supervisor
The meals and overnight supervisor is Aleida, who is an active and vibrant young woman with experience as a camp counsellor in America and as a nanny in the UK. Aleida is assisted by a schoolgirl - Gina who has been helping out in the holidays and weekends for over a year.
Housekeeping
The accommodation is a self contained farmhouse which contains four rooms with bunks, a communal lounge, well equipped kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities.
To create a family camping atmosphere, children and adults will be expected to participate in meal preparation and clean-up, make their own bed, and to clean up after themselves just as they would at home.
The ingredients for meals will be provided but guests are welcome to bring any special food or snacks of their own.
A phone is freely available for local calls – any time.
Health & Safety
Unaccompanied children will need to be able to attend to their own hygiene and routine medical needs and have care for their safety and the safety of others.
