The Lodge was designed and built by a Canadian to be like the lodges in the Canadian Rocky Mountains – it’s perfect for our Southern Highlands climate. There is no air-conditioning as we really don’t need it! In winter the east-facing floor-to-ceiling windows welcome the morning sun and warm the living area. There are two slow-combustion fires that burn 24×7 over winter, with internal fans that blow warm air. Our ceiling fans are set to the seasons to move the air effectively to make the most of the warm air in winter and cool air in summer. The Highlands is famous for its favourable summer climate and all bedrooms have ceiling fans for summer, as well as individual electric heating for cooler nights.
