Your cabin has its own wood burning fire, it will be set and ready for you to light when you arrive.

Here are a few pointers if the fire isn’t starting as it should:

1. Firstly, ensure the dampener is set to open. (Pull outwards). This allows air to flow into the fireplace. This is the small knob to the right of the fireplace that you shift to the right.
2. Inside the fireplace, build a small nest using the firelighter at the base and loosely cover it with small sticks and kindling.
3. Light the firelighter (if there is a silver packing around the firelighter – this also can be lit).
4. Let the small fire grow and gradually add new kindling to it. Close the fireplace door.
5. As the fire grows in size, add thicker pieces of wood until you can add the log. Ensure that each time you add wood, close the fireplace door.
6. You have been given more than enough wood and firelighters for your stay and you should not need to use more than one for lighting the fire.
7. When the fire is lit and going well, you can control the fire size by using the dampener. Keeping it open burns the wood faster.
8. Upon exiting the cabin, close the dampener completely.
9. If you have trouble, check that you are using small sticks and enabling the fire to breathe. It needs air to light properly.

IMPORTANT: Do not take out or place any ash or burning wood outside the fireplace. Do not place burning wood on the balcony or throw any ash or wood over the balcony.

If the fireplace still has wood burning in it when you are ready to check out, please leave the fireplace closed and shut the dampener. Our cabin manager is coming in after you leave to prepare the cabin for our next guests and will sort the fireplace out for you.

PLEASE do not place anything on the fire heater. This includes lighters, bluetooth speakers, jars, glasses and flowers.

We provide enough wood for your entire stay. If you run out, please let us know and we will fill it up for you. An extra wood load is $50.00
