Before leaving, check if the alarm is set by looking for the small blue light at the back of the cabin

Please refrain from using your body wash, shampoo and conditioner during your stay. We’ve supplied our cabins with high-quality, local and eco-friendly products so we’re not harming the environment.
Please do not throw any foreign objects or non-eco-friendly products down the toilet, as everything is broken down and fed into the land. This may cause blockages and harm the natural environment.
Please do not dispose of any food waste down the kitchen sink drain, as it may cause blockages and inconvenience your stay
If the wind picks up, please put down the umbrellas so they don’t blow over. The wind can pick up in the afternoon for a few hours.
If there are any damages to the cabin during your stay, please be considerate guests and let us know.
Our self-catering cabins are equipped with everything you need to cook up a storm during your stay. The cabin includes a gas hob, a gas braai, an outdoor fire boma, and an air fryer.
We provide the following essentials:
Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, teas, coffees, sugar and coffee pods.
If you’d like to use the fire-heated hot tub, please note that it will take between 2-4 hours to get to the desired temperature of between 30 – 40 degrees.
Start by making a small fire in the bottom of your stove with bits of kindling and blitz. Slowly get this fire going before introducing larger pieces of wood.
Once your fire is going add some larger logs and allow them to burn until sufficient coals have accumulated.
Now, using a prong, push the hot coals underneath the pipes of the main stove compartment – this is where most of the heat transference takes place.
Keep adding logs to the main fire compartment as necessary, shifting any coals that have accumulated underneath the pipes.
The heat of the tub is regulated by the quantity of wood you use to stoke the fire.
After approximately 2-4 hours the water in your tub should be warm and ready for you to enjoy.
Each booking includes a complimentary allocation of firewood and blitz for the duration of your stay. If you run out, don’t worry, we have more available on the property for purchase.
Simply send us a message on WhatsApp, and we’ll explain how to access additional firewood. We’ll send you a payment link at the end of your stay. Each bag costs R40.
We are off the grid and solar-powered, so please be mindful of your power usage during your stay and do not overload the system to ensure you have power, especially on overcast days. Things to consider to ensure you have uninterrupted power throughout your stay:
Avoid using a hairdryer as it draws too much power.
Do not use the air fryer for extended periods or for slow cooking.
Be mindful of overnight charging of electronic devices and rather do this during the day.
Please, we urge you to take this very seriously.
It’s not just about protecting our beloved precious cabin but neighbouring farms and the livelihoods of the community, as well as protecting the natural environment.
Indoor fireplace – please don’t overload the unit unnecessarily. When making the fire and lighting it, close the door and open the vent by pulling the silver latch towards you. Once it’s going, you can close the vent by shifting the latch in, away from you. For your safety, please don’t leave anything near the fireplace that could catch alight.
When making a fire in the outside fire boma, please be extremely vigilant. The wind can often pick up in the evening, and the surrounding vegetation is extremely flammable, especially in the warmer months. Please always keep an eye on the fire if you are away from the boma. Do not leave the cabin if there is an active fire. When you decide to go head to bed, ensure the fire is completely out. Use the nearby hoses under the deck to extinguish the fire. Please be responsible and remain extremely vigilant when there is an active fire
There are two fire extinguishers in the cabin. The first is beside the indoor fireplace, and the second is in the long kitchen cupboard. In the same long cupboard, there is a fire blanket for use in case of an oil fire. Do not use the fire extinguisher on an oil fire, as this will spread the oil and fuel the fire.
For minor injuries, a first aid kit is located in the cupboard with the fire blanket.
