ACCESS TO CLUB ON ARRIVAL:
Incoming occupants have access only to ski-room in basement before 2pm on Sundays. Luggage, food, skis, etc should be stowed neatly without blocking access to exit door and drying room. The ski room in the basement is quite cold and food will not spoil for the few hours left there. This enables cleaners to do their work, including cleaning refrigerators. Please co-operate.

DEPARTURE DAYS:
Sundays: Please ensure that you vacate your room, kitchen, living rooms, etc by 10am. Remove your food from refrigerators and food cupboards and either take them home, throw them out, or leave on a bench with a note for incoming guests and date. This will enable cleaners to do their work.
Broken Week occupants: Please dispose of food left-overs and clean bedroom and bathroom. Bedrooms should be vacated by 10am.

CHIILDREN:
No special rates - the Lodge operates on beds, as this is the basis of fees charged by the National Parks. Children under 5 years of age in WINTER are only admitted if the whole Lodge is booked by either one or more groups agreeing to admit children under 5. Please enquire.
If children are under 2 years of age, in cots (own responsibility for cot, sheets, etc) and do not take up a bed or room, there is no charge, but the Booking Officer must be advised (essential to clear this). Please ensure young children sleep on waterproof mattress covers (only 2 available at Lodge). We are licensed for 16 people only - including children.
