THE ECO CHALET OFFERS - a cosy bedroom (equipped with a queen size bed, linen, blankets, chest of drawers, small fridge, desk & chairs, candles, oil diffuser... The mosquito net is cotton and mostly there for the romantic look as we don't have mosquitoes) - a private balcony with table and sofa bed to relax. - a private shower (we provide towels, eco friendly organic soap & shampoo at no charge.) The timer is helping to observe a 3 min shower. - a private composting toilet (not smelly) with recycling toilet paper. - a kitchenette with a small fridge, a 2 burner gas stove, cutlery, basic cooking equipment (pot, tea pot, plunger, pan, chopping board, crockery...), a selection of teas and coffee, recycling bins (we will ask you to take your regular waste away when checking out). WATER IS SUITABLE FOR DRINKING. Our off the grid sustainable lifestyle is very precious to us. We therefore ask our dear guests to respect it by being WATER WISE and POWER WISE. A 3 min shower (timer in the shower) is greatly appreciated. Because we rely on solar, be aware that you can't use a kettle, a hair drier, a toaster or any other electrical device whose power consumption is too high. A little outdoor fire pit is close to the eco-chalet and the main house (which is 15 m from the eco chalet). Feel free to ask if you'd like us to light the fire for you (fire ban permitting)!

NOTE TO OUR DEAR GUESTS : Although we like the eco chalet cosy and comfortable, we wish to keep it rustic and simple so that people can reconnect with nature. We believe less is best and try to focus on the essentials to limit our Carbon footprint. It is not a luxury accommodation with swimming pool, wi-fi & air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, TV... in the wild. Our aim is for you to experience a sustainable lifestyle and reconnect with nature and/or your loved ones. People coming here want to experience something different from what they have at home. A beautiful swimming hole is located 5 min drive from here if you wish to have a swim on a warm day. Finally, our property is absolutely PET FREE and SMOKE FREE. Feel free to have a walk on the property, look at native trees, spend some time on the passerelle overlooking the dam, light a fire at night in the fire pits (fire ban permitting)... Come and see us any time you need something, we will do our best to accommodate you. Almost always, there will be someone here to greet you, show you through the accommodation and answer your questions, so welcome, feel at ease and don't hesitate to ask for anything you need (nice surrounding places, restaurants, have a walk on the property, fire wood, plant a native tree to regenerate the natural habitat... ) Want a romantic thing to do? light up the dam with a few water candles at night. Want to leave a positive footprint or just do something different? Plant your tree with your special message whether you wish to regenerate the habitat or to celebrate something. Don't hesitate to ask. We have extensively travelled in Australia and are used to travelers (WHV). As a family, our nice kids/baby will enjoy playing/interacting with you if you feel like it. We leave it up to you how much you would like to interact with us during your stay and will totally respect your privacy. Please note : Not being a hotel, we don't consider you as customers but guests and feel a minimum of polite interactions are part of the Airbnb experience. Don't be shy and ask if you are in need of anything, we will do our best to accommodate you. Please, come and say good bye when you are ready to leave, it is what we consider minimalistic interaction between human beings.
