The house is fully equipped for 18 young members and 3 adults. Bunk and single beds are available in one main dormitory with a leader’s bedroom at one end.

There is a covered patio ideal for crafting outside whatever the weather as well as three barbeque and campfire cooking areas. Located on the edge of Northwood Carr a delightful wooded hillside ideal for nature walks, exploring and trails.
