The lodge can accommodate around 170 guests in 79 suites, each enjoying wall-to-wall carpeting, a private lounge with a mini bar, a bedroom with two queen size beds and ample room for a third guest.

The lodge is located in a spectacular position: literally perched on the rim of the crater and built mainly from natural stone and local timber.
