House Rules

If the power is not on, the power-board is located downstairs in the garage on the wall backing onto the stairwell. The 3 red switches need to all be up to have power. If using the outside cabin there is another power switch to the right of the main power board
Please be careful with the pool table and dart board especially young children. As you can see we have had quite a few holes put in the wall and on the floor from darts going astray. Same with the Pool table, with marks on the table and ceiling.
We are on tank water, and we must keep a close eye on usage. Please use with the Everyday Wash or 15min Quick Cycle on the washing machine and to keep showers short and sweet to conserve. We have had water indicators installed in the tanks so that you can see the water level without having to lift the lids. Please if you can keep an eye on that, especially in summer when water is scarce.

Safety Features

There are smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher in the house
