The Peak is conveniently located just 20m from the Creek Cabins. Inside, heatable and easy to prepare dinner options will be available for purchase and you’ll have access to a domestic style kitchen for preparation of these, or your own meals. These DIY options are yet to be finalised, but our focus is to provide you with meals and products that are both affordable and high quality.
In your cabin kitchenette facilities are limited to: a kettle, fridge, microwave, basic cooking utensils, and cutlery. The Peak contains more cookware, as well as an oven and stove top, this is a shared space so we ask that you please respect others by cleaning and washing up after use.
