FOR GUESTS

Welcome to First Break. We sincerely hope you have a wonderful relaxing time. Please read below for helpful house instructions during your stay.

  • Lift

    The lift is exposed to a highly corrosive environment as such it can be unreliable.

    Always carry a mobile phone when in the lift.

    If there is an issue with operation the lift can be lower manually by another person accessing the control cabinet in the laundry

    The most likely cause of the lift not working is corroded contacts on the upstairs door post

    Feel free to use the lift for luggage firewood etc. Do not load the lift with any metal objects that could scratch glass or panels.
