First and last night will be at the lodge and the other nights will be camping 
The homestead: Accommodation is lodge style (20 rooms) with each room accommodating from 2 to 6 people with shared bathroom facilities.
Rooms are heated with all linen, bedding and electric blankets provided. A separate games and TV room is available.
Mealtimes are happy, communal events served in the homestead straight from Roslyn's kitchen. Homemade soups and colonial roast lamb are their specialities, while Snowy Mountains trout provides a mouth-watering appetiser.
As the lodge is not licensed you are free to bring your own wine for dinner.
The Camps:  At the end of the day our four-wheel drive vehicles will meet you with all the gear for the overnight stay. Tents are large 4 person tents - usually for 2 riders. We provide you with virtually everything you need for camping and riding, including mattresses, tents, hard hats and food. While you would normally bring your own clothing, wet weather gear, riding boots and sleeping bag, the Rudds can optionally supply you (at extra cost) with sleeping bags and oilskin coats.
Sitting pleasantly fatigued around the campfire you will share laughter and stories of the day's ride with your co-travellers. A warm hearty three-course meal is cooked for you, accompanied by freshly-made damper and washed down with mugs of billy tea. Your tasks are to sit back and do nothing but enjoy the relaxation and sense of physical wellbeing from a great day's ride in the magnificent Australian high country.
