Facilities/Features

• You will most probably wake to the sight and sounds of a range of native and migratory birds enjoying the bush clad hills. In the evening you might just be lucky enough to hear the call of the endangered nocturnal and flightless Kiwi. You will almost certainly hear and may even catch a glimpse of the native NZ owl, the Morepork. 

• Digital Detox is a feature of the peaceful atmosphere provided at the Cottage with no cellphone or internet coverage available.  However, guests needing to keep in touch with family or business colleagues during their stay are welcome to take advantage of the free WiFi and printer provided up at the Observatory Lodge or use the Lodge's landline.
