The Hut at Ruffy

Power:

The hut at Ruffy is off-grid and solar-powered. Please be mindful of this. There is enough power to charge a laptop or a phone, but hairdryers or other high-voltage appliances will likely short it out.

Phone and Wifi:

There is no wifi provided at the property. Phone reception is limited. You can expect a few bars with Telstra and little to no signal with Optus or Vodafone.

Cooking and Food Storage:

There is a small car fridge and food storage box located inside the hut which will keep food cool. There are several options available for cooking:

1.) The wood stove can be used as an oven and a stovetop.
2.) The gas trivet located in the old stone oven (outside) can be used to quickly heat up a kettle of water.
3.) There is a large gas BBQ located behind the hut near the shower.
4.) You could even go old school and cook directly on the outdoor fire.

Cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery are provided.

Bathroom Facilities:

While the hut has hot and cold running water, please note that there are no bathroom facilities (toilet, shower etc.) within the hut.

These are located nearby:

1.) An outdoor bath directly outside the hut with a fantastic view of the night sky.
2.) A semi-enclosed, stone outdoor shower 10 meters up from the hut. A seperate electric pump ensures that the pressure hits the spot.
3.) A compost toilet is 20 meters away from the Hut. If you haven't used one of these before it is very similar to a normal toilet, and doesn't smell. Instead of flushing you simply do your business, put in half a scoop of sawdust and spray with a special formula (provided) that helps the poo to break down and not smell.
4.) A basic hand basin and mirror outside the hut.

Parking

Parking is on site, near the hut. There is space for two cars.

Pets

The property is dog friendly, and you may get a visit from our two, very friendly Vizslas at some point.

Nearest Shops

The nearest shops are located at Avenel (Servo) or Euroa (IGA). Both are around a 1 hour return trip from the property. We recommend stocking up on everything you'll need for the weekend.
