The generator operates for a few hours as the sun begins to set until approximately half an hour after the last guest has gone to bed. Limited essential lighting and ceiling fan can still operate after the generator has been switched off due to solar power.

Water
The water has been professionally tested and although it is safe for drinking, mineral water is available.
