Pine

Pine is the last stop before the train returns to the Plaza, serving the Pine accommodation zone - one of the closest lodge areas to the central facilities. Pine lodges sit among mature pine woodland, and the walk to the Plaza takes roughly 15 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by bike.

The Pine zone contains a range of accommodation grades:

• Woodland Lodges - open-plan living, fully equipped kitchen, log-burning fireplace, private patio with BBQ
• Forest Lodges - higher-spec furnishings, possible hot tub or sauna
• Exclusive Lodges - top-tier, with en-suites, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and games room

Visitors in the Pine area frequently report roe deer visiting lodge patios. The pine forest also attracts crossbills, unusual finches that use their distinctively crossed beaks to prise open pine cones. Some Pine lodges (around numbers 93-95) are within 200-300 metres of the main car park, making luggage transfer on arrival and departure day especially convenient.

The Pine stop is also the insider's alternative to the Plaza stop: because it comes immediately before the Plaza on the loop, boarding here means getting a seat before the train reaches the always-crowded Plaza pickup point.
