Please note: Iltis is still committed to protecting all members and guests as we continue to adapt to the Covid-19 situation. Our 2022 COVIDSafe Plan is aimed at mitigating the introduction of Covid-19 to the lodge. All guest should receive a copy of our 2022 COVIDSafe Plan well in advance of their stay. Importantly, no one should come to Iltis if they are experiencing any Covid symptoms OR if they are a Close or Household contact of a current Covid case.
