By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises or others whom they invite to use the premise.
4. Keep the property and all furnishings in good order
5. Pets are NOT allowed on the property unless we have given permission. We have a dog on site.
6. Housekeeping: There is no daily housekeeping service. While linens and bath towels are included in the unit, daily maid service is not included in the rental rate. We suggest you bring beach towels. We do not permit towels or linens to be taken from the units.
7. Water and Septic: The property is on a well and septic systems. We are eco friendly. Excess garbage left is subject to an additional charge of between $50-100. During a drought, the well water is not un limited. You may be asked to limit consumption. If that does prove effective, we will put you on a limit of one 2,500 liter tank per day. The septic system is very effective; however, it will clog up if improper material is flushed. DO NOT FLUSH anything other than toilet paper. That should be in small quantities at one time. No feminine products should be flushed at any time. If these products are found in the septic system, you could be charged damages of up to $200. Your trip could be disturbed as well.
8. Electricity consumption: We are off grid, we do not have unlimited energy. We have a large, high tech solar array & a powerful bank of batteries. You should have all the conveniences of a normal house in a first world country. However it is the amount of use that is at question. Leaving lights on when there is nobody in the room is pointless & wasteful. Running AC units on all day & on low temperatures will cause the very expensive battery bank to become depleted. Which will then cause all electricity to shut off on the entire property.
9. Generator use: We can start the generator to recharge the batteries & it will also carry the current electrical load that the property in consuming. However, there is an additional charge of $15 an hour if there is pointless use which caused the batteries to become depleted. To save everyone grief, we have decided to control the AC remotes. AC is by far the highest consuming home appliance in the world. We have 5 of the split AC units!! Therefore our on site manager David will set the temperature & the time they will run. Our goal is to offer a comfortable night sleep. Not lounging inside watching TV all day with the AC cranked. This is not Cancun.
The plan is; with larger groups, that we turn on the generator at an agreed time, at about 6-8 pm. That will give the ac units enough time to cool the rooms down to 24 degrees. That is plenty cool, at that point the sun has been down for 2 hours & the air temperature is dropping. At night, the temperature drops down to about 21-24 degrees.


So there is no real need to keep the ac units on at night. Instead just use the ceiling fan to move the air. The master bedroom has a AC unit that blows directly on the bed, sometimes it is used at a slightly higher temperature & it primarily functions as a fan. The other units should just be shut off. They have screen door & a window for air movement as well.
You will find that you may wake up in the middle of the night feeling chilly. Use care to keep from getting chilled from the fans. Getting a nasty cold like I did my first trip down, is not any fun!

The ac is not to be run during the day as the power system will not be able to handle that type of consumption. This will cause premature failure of the expensive battery bank & the the property will lose all power. The ac units should be used in conjunction with the generator in order to keep the system working all night. For the most part, the property runs on solar power from our 24 solar panels.We have a system sevral timesarger than mot home that are off grid. There is most often lots of power to run al the normal appiances & ights. However AC is a very heavy draw & accept in very limited applications. It is not compatable with off grid poweer systems. So if we are planning on using arge amounts of power, we will turn on out generator & that will supply a the power we need, plus it will also top up the battery bank. In this way we will be able to offer our guests a nice cool environment in the evening & still have sufficient power reserve to keep everything running until morning when the panels will then start to charge the battery bank again.
