Sleeping Accommodation

Up The Creek now has five accommodation options. Our in-house dorm beds have been hand made from locally milled wood, and are standard single size beds, with firm top quality foam mattresses. Most are single bottom beds, although two beds in each room are top bunks with ladder access and safety railings.

Within the Fir room, our only private room, the bed is made of the same the same materials, and can be arranged to provide a Queen sized bottom bed with a single bunk over, or three single beds. Individual beds cannot be purchased in the Fir Room.

The new cabin, located 75' from the main house, sleeps two people in a double bed. This small cabin is cosy and private, with fine views over the garden, and has three windows and a skylight for lots of natural light. The cabin is heated with an electric wood-lookalike stove, has a wash hand basin, and a cable internet connection. It does not have a washroom.

All beds are provided with a top and bottom sheet, two pillows, and an IKEA Mysa Mane synthetic quilt and quilt cover.

Tent space limited to 3 sites, $12 per person + GST, when all inside backpacker accommodation is taken, and for travellers arriving by bus or bike only. Tent, thermarest, sleeping bag rental available for $14 + GST per person in addition to tent space.

Up The Creek will endeavor to respect traveler's wishes regarding sleeping arrangements, but please note that Dorm beds may be co-ed.
