Accommodation
Deluxe Chalets
The Village chalets are stylish yet budget conscious. Each room has some unique decorative flourishes, but all of them are perfectly appointed to ensure maximum comfort at a budget price. Each chalet is perfectly air conditioned (pleasant throughout the whole year – but really desirable in Southern Hemisphere summer months). They also have an en-suite shower/wet room, crisp clean linen on wonderfully comfortable beds, with a daily housekeeping and turn down service.

Trucks pull into specially designed bays, where they can access power for various needs.
