FEATURES
Each habitat sleeps up to four people with either 2 king beds or a king size and two single beds.

Each habitat includes a self contained kitchen with microwave/convection oven, hot plate, fridge, dishwasher, kettle, toaster (and all necessary cooking utensils) – allowing for self catering (the Jindabyne Woolworths is a quick ten minute drive away to replenish supplies). There is also Weber BBQ on the deck.
