Questions / limits
Is this a luxury resort?
No. Rooms are comfortable and carefully designed, but the lodge is built around field schedules, quiet nights and practical coastal use rather than resort programming.
Can children stay?
Yes in selected rooms, with honest discussion of early departures, quiet corridors and exposed coastal terrain.
Do you arrange research permits?
Research groups remain responsible for scientific and access permits; the lodge can coordinate local logistics once approvals are clear.
