We encouraging you to experience the importance of nature conservation and its rewards. There is information in each cabin about the refuge and we maintain approximately 10km of bush walks on the property for you to explore. The best way to help people understand the importance of preserving our natural environment, is to enable you to be close enough to the forest for it to help you relax and relieve your stresses.

We believe that the best way we can help with the many problems of climate change is to give people access to nature and the forests. We provide not just cozy cabin accommodation that allows you to get in touch with nature and in most cases yourself while generating an appreciation for the surrounds of the forest but also walking trails and information about the surrounding nature.
