COTTAGE

Cottage 3 & 4: The wood fire hot tub will take about 2 hours to heat, but you need to keep adding wood to the fire. We use briguettes as it heats better and lasts longer. Plus we always love using by-products. You have to have a really nice fire going to heat up 400Litres of water. Please always check fire restrictions before making a fire.

1. Fill hot tub, you can start heating when its half full. Fill upto above heating unit to avoid burns.

2. Put at least a 3cm by 10cm piece of firestarter in at the bottom of the hot tub and light it. Close again, if there is wind, you will need to make sure the second steel unit is on and closed a bit more, still leaving some open grooves.

3. Add two briguettes to the round fire feeding tube. There is a metal stick, make sure briguettes are on the firestarter to get lit. Once lit the flames should be coming up the feeding tube.

4. Keep feeding briguettes through the tube. Please note to put the cover of the firebox on the floor, not on the cover. 

5. You can leave the cover on while heating the tub, makeing sure its not obstruction the fire to get damaged. Stiring the water will also help heat it.

Cottage 3 & 4: The wood fireplace inside gives nice atmosphere to a romantic stay. Please always check fire restrictions before using.

In winter when lighting a fire, always remember cold air is heavier than smoke, so you have to have a nice flame going to push cold air out of the chimney, a little flame will just leave you smoking yourself our of the cottage.

Put firestarter (at least 3cm by 8cm) and one briguette (pressed wood) in fireplace, with about two smaller (10cm round) pieces of wood like a tent on the briguette, light and as soon as wood pieces as on, you can keep adding wood. 

Cottage 1 and 2 has electric hot tubs. NOTE: You only fill these hot tubs once during your stay. The bath has a very good filter cleaning your water as it heats. If you forgot to put on heating in time, please only top up with 1/3 of hot water. 

Fill your hot tub, it fills with hot water so be careful. Turn on the heating to keep warm. The plug at the wall outside as well as inside next to sliding door needs to be switched on.
