Refridgeration

The fridge in the kicthen is powered by solar battery and generator. It can make small quantities of ice, but we recommend you bring drinking ice and large blocks of ice for your cool boxes and your drinks.

 

If there is cloudy weather the solar will not be strong enough to power the freezer for long.  Try not to stress the fridge freezer by opening frequently. 

Keep the fridge for food only.

 

We recommend keeping ALL your drinks with large blocks of ice in the cold box-on-wheels located under the bar.

 

For stays over 2 days we recommend ONE FULL cold box containing ice blocks drinking ice is brought and used to top up the drinks cooler as required.

power

The Camp runs on a hybrid system of solar, battery & generator.  The Mess has plugs to recharge phones & tablets and there is phone signal throughout, so internet is available.  

 

There are fairy lights throughout the Mess and lanterns and solar lamps too.  

 

Please bring only WHITE (non-coloured) candles.
