This was a very unusual stay! We needed a big space and an outside venue to gather safely to celebrate a 100th birthday with family aged 1 to 100. The lodge here really fit the bill, with separate wings for each family, plenty of bathroom space, and a very large living area. The pavilion was perfect for our gathering.
It is a self-catering hostel-style property, which was not entirely evident in the listing, but we figured it out with great communication from Kate and the site managers, and some googling. You must bring your own bedding for the bunk beds, including towels, blankets and pillows, and you must clean when you leave. Bring your own toiletries. It's much like a summer camp.
The kitchen had everything we needed (bring towels and sponges), with excellent instructions for running the dishwasher and coffee machine, and there were plenty of fans and air purifiers, so we felt very safe. The BBQ grill was great. The screened porch was our favorite feature! We used the playground and wooden swing, walked down to the beach (the public beach was fine and we could swim), watched the space station fly over at night, really enjoyed the woodsy privacy, yet it was convenient to a local store for extras. There was WiFi and TV to keep us in touch with the outside world. The hosts were lovely. All in all it was a perfect choice for our weekend getaway.
