ARE THERE WEATHER CONDITIONS WHERE THE ROAD ACCESS TO THE CABIN CAN BE CUT OFF?

We are in a remote area. As such the roads to and from us can (not common but possible) become blocked in unusual weather events due to high amounts of rain or snowfall. This is beyond our control. It is the guest's responsibility to keep track of upcoming weather events. In the event that an extreme weather event is predicted and the guest chooses to relocate elsewhere, we will accept a cancellation and issue a refund on any unused nights if notified before the checkout. A weather forecast from a reputable weather forecasting website must be used as documentation for the cancellation.

WHAT IS THE SETTING LIKE? HOW ALONE ARE WE?

The Temple Cabins are on a working, remote high country station. The cabin is some 300 metres away from the homestead, and due to the geography is out of line of sight. However from time to time you may see or hear the workings of the farm in the distance, giving you an authentic high country experience!

IS A 4WD NEEDED TO ACCESS THE CABIN?

In normal conditions, the cabin can be accessed by a 2wd vehicle, you will just need to take sections of the road to us slowly. However, we do not recommend vehicles with low-set body kits. A small SUV with snow chains in winter is adequate. Typically, snow chains won’t be needed for the journey, but we highly recommend having them on-hand in winter. That being said, a 4wd will be more comfortable and enable you to access the cabin in more difficult conditions.

CAN WE HAVE OUTDOOR FIRES?

Our region is a high alpine desert environment, and we are a long distance from emergency services. Fire can spread quickly and with devastating results. The local fire authority has a complete fire ban in place and fires are via permit only. Severe local government penalties apply.

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?

Unfortunately, no. We are on a working sheep and beef station and we have to have a policy in place that prevents domestic pets from disturbing livestock

WHAT IS THE PHONE AND WIFI COVERAGE LIKE?

There is reasonable phone coverage in most parts around the cabin, but inside it is patchy. We supply high speed wifi in the cabin, so enabling wifi calling makes phone coverage much better.
