Towels and bedding are provided, including extras at the foot of the bed in the wicker trunk. As eco warriors, we encourage guests to use towels and linen as sparingly as good hygiene permits!
Elsewhere has many pets who have chosen our space to roam within. While we take our custodianship as a privilege and honour, we recognise that outdoors is where our pets are most content and do not take them inside the buildings. Our animals have created a peaceful and happy community which we want to help them maintain, so we do not allow other pets inside.
Yes! We love hot showers!
This type of equipment weighs heavily on our solar energy system so we do not permit the use of hairdryers and hair straighteners. Make use of the sun's heat! Stay curly!
Yes! Our security is available 24 hours and will facilitate entry to the compound at any time. Please bear in mind that we are nestled within a small community and need to be respectful of our fellow dwellers.
