What to bring with you:

NO LINEN IS SUPPLIED you will need to bring these with you! Sleeping bags are not acceptable. Cleaning fee will be added if protectors are left soiled or dirty.
You will need to bring your own bed linen (Top /bottom sheets, pillowcases), your towels, personal items, toilet rolls, garbage bags, matches/lighter, food, cooking oils, condiments, and drinks.
We do provide pillows, comforters, and blankets for your stay, a toilet roll in each bathroom & a garbage bag. We provide dishwashing liquid, chux, and a scourer for the kitchen. There are bathmats for each bathroom and a tea towel for your use so no need to bring these.


Power:
The house runs solely off SOLAR POWER without a backup generator, because of this there are to be NO toasters, hairdryers/straighteners, car fridges, rice cookers, air fryers, pie makers, etc anything with a heating element as these can NOT be used as they draw too much power and will trip the solar power to the property, we suggest you only use what is supplied. We do not have air conditioning or heating like most other houses on the island; these use too much power if this is a requirement a hotel would be best.
We kindly ask that you please be mindful of power usage at all times, especially on cloudy days and we kindly ask that you turn all lights, fans, and plug sockets off such as phone chargers when they are not in use and when you are out for the day as these will draw down the power, also leaving lights on overnight will draw down the power bank and it may leave you without power until the backup kicks in.

Water: The house runs solely off tank water which is filtered and safe to drink.
PLEASE DO NOT WASH CARS, there is a car wash at the back of the resort you can use.
Other things to be noted:

All Rubbish needs to be disposed of when leaving and the property left clean and tidy, or cleaning fee will apply.

Please note: The Granny flat at the back of the house may be occupied or accessed by the hosts or maintenance people during your stay when maintenance, solar, etc needs attention, you will usually be notified if this is the case.
