Firefly House Rules & Requirements

  1. Your Commitment As Guests
    Firefly is an off-grid house in the rainforest, which has been carefully designed and equipped to provide guests with modern comforts, including air conditioning. Solar power, battery storage and rainwater systems support a self-sufficient stay without compromising on convenience. To support sustainability, it would help us a lot if you can read, understand and commit to the following:

    • No hair dryers, straighteners or electrical appliances with heating elements. Firefly has an off-grid system that relies on battery power. These appliances will damage the power system irreversibly and replacement cost is $20,000. We think you look great just the way you are, embrace your jungle self!
    • Do not charge electric vehicles! Do not try! The high-power demand from high energy appliances breaks the connection between battery cells.
    • Do not flush anything but toilet paper, poo and wee down the loo! Firefly has its own mini-septic system, but does not have the ability to process tampons, plastics, wipes or anything other than human waste. Please use bin provided.
    • Barbecue. Please clean after yourselves and turn off gas bottle after every use.
    • Don’t leave taps or hoses running. We have limited water so please be conscious of shutting off taps after use.

    2. Our House Rules
    To help us to care for this special place and minimise our / and your impact on the surrounding environment, we would appreciate your adherence to the following house rules during your stay.

    • Please leave your outdoor shoes outside.
    • No smoking or vaping inside the house.
    • No pets are permitted in the house.
    • No parties or loud music, this is a quiet, nature-respecting space.
    • Close all windows at sunset, otherwise the forest’s insects will come inside.
    • The air conditioner will turn ON and OFF according to a preset timer. If you do not want it ON, please switch the power off at the power point.
    • Please use only eco-friendly products.
    • Respect wildlife — do not feed animals.
    • Always place hot cups and saucepans on placemats and not on wood benches to avoid burn marks.
    • Leave the fans running all the time including when you leave.
    • Leave the fridge on when you leave.
    • Turn all lights off when you leave.
