Quite unlikely at that time of year. Only the Lindis Pass could be an issue if there was a particularly cold snap of weather at just the wrong time, but I think you'd have to be very unlucky.

Yes, there is definitely one other place (Mountaineers Cafe), and I think one more. However, those are the ONLY options for everyone, so reservations are important. But this lodge also has a kitchen so you can make your own food too. It's accessible to the track, but it will add about an hour onto your journey.

I don't remember a supermarket. I do know that the Lodge itself sold a few basic supplies at its reception desk. There are several good places to eat that aren't too costly.

Yes. I didn't use it but I believe so.

Hi Florence, The Hermitage Hotel is only about 200 metres from our property so a shuttle is not normally required however if you need one they will respond on demand normally. kind regards Tony Delaney Owner
