The Old School - Paradise Trust

Old School

Children of the families working at the Paradise scheelite mine attended this tiny historic school back in the early 1900’s.

Old School might be small on space, but it has plenty of old-school charm.

Perfect as a couple’s retreat, the cabin consists of a single room with a double bed, a couple of armchairs beside the open fire and views of Turret Head. Water is supplied via an outside tap and all cooking is done on the outside gas cooker.

Soak up the morning sun while admiring the view of Mount Earnslaw from this little gem.

You can drive to this cabin with approximately 20 metre walk up a wee hill from the park to the hut door.
