Cockatoo-as-a-cottage
Spacious open plan cottage
The Cockatoo Room of 100sqm, when not booked for a function, makes a large economical open-plan cottage. It is especially suitable for family and/or small group stays. It has been rated by AAA at 3 stars. This is less than our accredited 3.5-star Cafe Cottage and our 4-star main cottages because the Cockatoo Room is adapted for sleeping rather than specially built for it. It has only queen sofa and single foldup beds. It is not as homely as the other cottages. However it more than makes up for this in space and flexibility of use and economy of tariff. In addition to sleeping the space can be used for games (table tennis tables provided), bodywork (eg yoga) as well as utilising its high quality audio/visual equipment and polished timber floors for such uses as rehearsing or dancing.
Sleeping accommodation consists of 2 comfortable queen-sized sofa beds (moveable on lockable wheels) and can have up to 4 fold-up beds. Private sleeping compartments for the sofa beds can be created by drawing hospital-style curtains around them. Each of the sofa-bed sleeping positions has it's own reading light.
The kitchenette services up to 10 people. It has a large fridge, bar-style freezer, dish-drawer, gas cooktop, microwave, kettle and toaster. You can dine inside or out: inside around an 8-seat timber table with cane chairs (or using as many of the conference tables and chairs as you like); outside on the private verandah or in the gazebo using outdoor furniture. Cockatoo has its own BBQ
Cockatoo-as-a-cottage has an an exclusive-use shower/toilet and separate toilet both accessed from the outside verandah. It also has shared access to a disability-compliant toilet and shower/bathroom with Cafe Cottage from the foyer that separates the two buildings. Apart from the sofa beds already mentioned interior furnishings include a window seat, as many stackable chairs and tables as desired, a wood heater, dimmable lighting and overhead fans. All windows have blinds. Guests also enjoy unfettered access to pin-board partitions, table tennis tables and table-tennis equipment, widescreen HDTV, DVD player, mini hi-fi, sophisticated audio equipment (microphones, main speakers, fold-backs and mixing desk), stage lighting, overhead projector, large format screen and mirror ball. The room has two sets of bifolding windows, one of which is screened against insects.
Cockatoo-as-a-cottage can be booked in exactly the same manner as our other cottages, either on-line by clicking the attached Book Now button or by contacting us by email or by phone...but note, it can be booked separately from Cafe Cottage only within 10 weeks from current date.
