Question 1

Tiny Home Rules

Accepted Answer

Claudine & Henry are completely off-grid: The water is heated by gas and the lights, fridge, and power outlets are solar-powered. Please be mindful of water and power consumption.

Appliances: If you bring a hair dryer or iron, ensure they are the 'travel' variety and therefore do not draw too much power.

Water Source: The tiny homes are fed by fresh rain and creek water. While we drink it and love it, you may choose to bring your own drinking water for your stay.

Mobile Reception: Excellent mobile reception is available, although you may find yourself forgetting your devices to reconnect with nature.

Rubbish Bins: Use the rubbish bins provided for general household waste, recycling, 10c bottles, and food scrap bins. You're welcome to take your bottles.

Cooking: Cooking is done on a gas or electric hob or BBQ. Please clean after use.

Septic System: We have a septic system, so please only put toilet paper down the toilet. Use the bin provided for all other items.

Firepit: There is a firepit with limited wood for you to use. Be aware this may not be available in dry conditions.

Working Farm: Claudine & Henry are located on a working farm; there will be vehicle and animal noise at times. You are in a rural setting, so be aware when walking around the property.
