Wood fire:
Timber Top Lodge is heated by a wood heater. We provide firewood and kindling to warm the cabin. If you would like to use the outdoor chiminea, we ask that you bring some wood for this. There is a fire screen for your safety and heat proof gloves.

Essentials
Our kitchen is well stocked with a variety of kitchen essentials and more. Our bathroom contains luxury ENA soap, hand-cream, shampoo and conditioner, scented room sprays, as well as essential oil infused epsom salts for the Japanese bath. We also provide bird seed to feed the local parrots.

BBQ/ Deck
⤑ We have an expansive deck with an outdoor setting and a huge umbrella. There is a gas heater and a chiminea as well as a bbq. We ask that guests leave the bbq as clean as they found it. We supply lots of bbq cleaning products. If the bbq is left dirty by guests, a cleaning fee of $25 will be charged to cover additional cleaning costs.

Things to consider
⤑ The stairs are fairly steep and may not be accessible for people with mobility issues. Guests with very young children will also need to take care. There is a gate at the top of the stairs, but not at the bottom.
⤑ Please note that the property has a CCTV camera at the front door, which helps us monitor our firewood supply and confirm that guests checking in match the booking, as well as ensure everyone arrives safely. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

⤑ Unfortunately, we cannot offer Saturday checkouts.
