All cottages in Lemonwood are complemented with under-floor heating and open fires for the colder months. Giving guests natural seclusion would be the bush environment surrounding the cottages. Hiking trails and canopy walks are the highlights of the activities in the area. Lemonwood rates high in using alternative sources of energy, employing solar panels across the area. They lead the charge in local conservation being that they bring local landowners together to form the local conservancy.
