Dining Halls/Kitchens
There are two Hall/Kitchen combinations on site.
- Ritchie Kelly Hall and Kitchen - This is the larger of the two and accommodates dining for both lodges when the whole camp is booked by one group.
- Pete Scarlet Hall and Kitchen - Can accommodate dining for up to 90 people.
Each Kitchen is certified as a Commercial Kitchen and is fully stocked with all cutlery, plates and cooking equipment. Next to each Kitchen is a Dish Pit fitted with an industrial steriliser, that can sanitise a load every 4 minutes. All you need are tea towels for your cooks' dishes.
Combinations for groups/schools
There are two site combinations on camp that are commonly utilised.
- Gordon Pullar Lodge (Bunk Rooms 1-5), Pete Scarlet Hall and Kitchen, Private Rooms B and C.
- Graeme Cook Lodge (Bunk Rooms 6-10), Ritchie Kelly Hall and Kitchen, Private Rooms A and E.
When one group has booked the entire camp, it is the Ritchie Kelly Hall and Kitchen that is primarily utilised.
Laundry
Laundry facilities include one washer and one dryer. There are lines to hang towels and other clothes on at each lodge as well as next to the laundry facility.
Chapel
The Chapel can easily fit 30 people. It has a television and is good to use as a smaller meeting space or as a quiet escape.
Spent one night and two days here for a Scouts NZ event. Good functioning kitchens and dorms. Warm and dry with a lot of fun to be had.
