As our facilities are a shared communal space, we are unable to accept any guest bookings requesting to self-isolate with us.

Our primary concern is the health, safety and well-being of our guests and team.
This may require us to refuse bookings at any stage.

You will be subject to our Cancellation Policy:

Standard rate: Cancellation within 48 hours of your arrival date would forfeit your deposit. If no-show, you will forfeit the total cost of accommodation. Cancellation prior to 48 hours of your arrival date will be fully refunded.

Non-refundable rate: Cancellation at any time will forfeit the total cost of accommodation. Should you need to change your stay dates, please let us know. We'll endeavour to help you book for another date. Please note this will be subject to availability. Extra fees may apply.

If you become ill or feel unwell at any stage of your stay, you are required to notify a member of our staff, as soon as possible. You are also obliged to notify Healthline.
Evidently, you will no longer have access to any of our facilities or communal areas, as this could put other guests and our staff members at risk of contracting the virus.

This may lead to you self-isolating with us, if you chose to do so please note, that you will be restricted to either your own self-contained campervan or private ensuite room only throughout the duration of your quarantine; all of which will incur an additional cost, to be covered by you.

The additional costs that will incur during this period are (including but not exclusive to):
• Appropriate isolated accommodation configuration
• Food costs
• Extra cleaning to disinfect the room(s) occupied

It’s not “forbidden”, but we prefer that our guests use our provided toiletries. All products (including shower products and laundry liquid) have been investigated for their impact on our water treatment systems, so if our tests show anything contaminating our grey-water we can isolate the source. Our constructed wetlands are sensitive to products and we need to take care of them as much as we can! Toiletries often contain ingredients that do not break down in the environment, and instead accumulate there, we really don't want this!

Yes, we have a selection of board games at The Headwaters Eco Lodge, as well as some books. Guests are welcome to use them.

During school holidays, we may have movie nights, contact our team to find out more.

We have hairdryers at reception you are more than welcome to borrow. We need to be very aware of what energy we are using so there is not one in each room.

While staying at The Headwaters Eco Lodge we really want to encourage a community feel, having a shared lounge and dining space helps retain that feeling. We're also mindful of our energy use, by having one big space we've managed to pick the best for energy and water efficiency. It's also so that we don't have to manage cooking odours and moisture in our cabins so it’s also a sustainable design choice
