Crooked Mile Cottage House Manual

We want you to feel welcome and comfortable in our little cottage. Here are a few things that will help you out during your stay.

WIFI: The wifi code is written in the information book sitting on the table in the hallway.

BEDS: The beds have been made up for you depending on what information you have provided us about who is in your group. For example either 1 queen or 2 singles depending on your preference. Most of the beds have electric blankets for warmth in winter. Please make sure they are switched off when you are up.

COMMUNICATION: Don't text me (I can't receive texts or calls at my home). Either message me through the booking platform or email me.

RUBBISH/RECYCLING: All food waste goes in the little grey bin on the kitchen bench (not in the rubbish bin). Put all recycling in the bin with yellow lid (no glass). All other waste goes in the rubbish bin (green lid).

WOOD FIRE: In winter you can use the fire for heating. It will be set, you just need to light it. Matches are on the mantle. Caution! Never put anything on top of the fire, it is hot! Always keep the door of the fire closed. Don't burn plastic.

CHILDREN: Children's toys and books are in the cupboard in the lounge. We can provide a porta-cot and highchair on request.

SECURITY: There is a Ring door bell at the front door that monitors the front pathway when the house is empty. Hokitika is very safe but we do recommend you lock the doors and close the windows when you are out.

BBQ: There is a BBQ for you to use. Take it outside. It's sometimes is tricky to light. Use a lighter/matches instead. Turn OFF the gas when finished and please clean the grill.
