Accommodations & Meals

We understand that our site is not the easiest to access without a car. So to make it easier for our staff team, they are welcome to stay overnight in our Staff Cottage! A cozy cabin with shared rooms, kitchen, living room and private bathrooms.

While there are guests/visitors on site, there will be meals provided for our staff team also. When we do not have any meals being served for guests, staff will have access to a kitchen area to store and prepare their own meals.
