Where to rest after a hard day's work ...

Shared Rooms - $138.70 including 19 meals

We have 60 rooms available - each room has two or three 'army style' single beds. The beds have a mattress and pillow, but no bed linen. You need to bring your own sheets, pillow case and sleeping bag. This is not the Hilton Hotel - the rooms are basic but adequate with overhead fans and a small cupboard.

If you stay in our rooms we provide 19 meals per week (no lunch or evening meal on Saturday) for a total charge of $138.70.

Our meals have an good reputation and this helps us maintain a stable workforce. Breakfast and evening meals are served canteen style in the dining room. Lunch is provided in the orchard on working days. We can cater for vegetarians on request.

If you have special dietary requirements (eg you are a celiac) then we need to know in advance so that we can try and provide for you. This may not always be possible.
