Important note: The cottage runs on a sustainable septic system, so only biodegradable products should go down the toilet, sinks and shower. Please avoid flushing items like wipes, sanitary products, fats or harsh chemicals, as they can block the system and set off the alarm. If a misuse issue causes a blockage, the call-out fee may be passed on.
