Cockatoo Room (configured as a cottage)
Open plan cottage with activity space
Though the Cockatoo Room has been built to cater for functions it also makes a large economical open-plan cottage for couples, small groups and families. We self-rate it at about 3 stars because when compared with our accredited 3.5 star Cafe Cottage and 4 star other cottages it lacks the homely comforts of those cottages. However what it lacks in comforts it makes up for in space for games, rehearsals, yoga, dancing etc. For more than 2 people we can divide the 100sqm room with partitions to make visually private sleeping compartments. Furnishings are basic with two mobile queen-sized sofa beds and as many stackable chairs and tables as desired. The kitchenette services up to 10 people. It has a large fridge and smaller deep freeze, dish-drawer, gas cooktop, microwave, kettle and toaster. Cockatoo-as-a-cottage has an an exclusive-use shower/toilet and separate toilet, though these are accessed from the verandah. It also has access to a disabled toilet/bathroom from the shared-access foyer that separates Cafe Cottage and the Cockatoo Room.
Accommodation guests in the Cockatoo Room also have access to a wide private verandah that has its own BBQ and outdoor furniture. There is a wood heater inside. Guests get unfettered access to the kitchenette, chairs, tables, partitions, table tennis tables and table-tennis equipment, widescreen HDTV, DVD player and CD/IPOD player. Extra cost options include audio equipment (microphones, main speakers, foldbacks and mixing desk), stage lighting, rising 4.8m X 2.5m stage, overhead projector, large format screen and mirror ball. The room has two sets of bifolding windows, one of which is screened for insects (screening from March 2010).
