Knowing the best way to enjoy Rockpool Lodge will make all the difference to your holiday. Some suggestions are noted below:
Mountain Biking
Make sure you book your bikes in advance over busy periods like Christmas and Easter. Call Raw NRG (www.rawnrg.com.au) for bike rentals (including lift passes) on (02) 6457-6234. If it's your first time, book into an orientation course with Raw NRG. The Cannonball Run is challenging and you will need to wear body armour, but it's loads of fun! If you can ski down it in the Winter, you can ride down it in the Summer!
Office Facilities
You can still run your company while you’re high in the Snowy Mountains at Rockpool Lodge. Fax Machine, Photocopier, Scanner, Flatscreen PC, Printer, Wireless LAN, and high speed ADSL. If you use a wireless laptop, all you need to do is turn it on! You’re fully connected, and secure.
Entertainment System
The lodge is equipped with a full audio-visual system. The TV is mounted into the chimney, and the sound system and DVD etc. are under the stairs. 6.1 channel sound speakers are mounted in the ceiling. The system is sophisicated, so we have tried to simplify the controls by using a learning remote which allows selection of either TV; DVD; VHS or Austar. Radio and a CD Jukebox are also available, and the settings have been programmed relative to the type of entertainment chosen.
Heating
There are two heating systems in the lodge - under-floor and ducted-gas. The under-floor heating will be set based on the season and maintains the temperature, with the gas system useful for quick heating. Don't leave the gas heating on, or you will cook!
The under-floor heating is controlled in 5 areas: Drying Room; Entry; Sitting Area; Ensuite and Bathroom.
Note that there is a delay after turning the gas heater on,before it actually starts, and also a delay after turning the heater off before it actually turns off.
