Quick Guide to Sixtus Lodge

A Code for the Sixtus Lodge entry Exterior Digital Door Lock, along with the Wi-Fi password, will be sent to the Camp Organiser three (3) days prior to the camp.

Once inside, you’ll find a bunch of keys hanging on a hook in the doorway between the pantry and the kitchen. These keys unlock other areas of the facility including the drying room and mop shed. The Trust Board recommends that the bunch of keys be returned to the hook when doors have been unlocked or locked.

On arrival you will need to switch the power on at the meter box (above the barbecue at the southeast corner of the Main Lodge Building). Inside the meter box, turn ON the switch labelled ‘Main’. Switch OFF again on your final departure.

Please DO NOT touch the MASTER Switch, as this switch runs the Refrigerator and Deep Freeze, Emergency Lighting and the Wired-in Smoke Alarms at the Lodge. These items need to remain on, even when the Lodge is unoccupied, to keep emergency lighting and smoke alarm batteries charged. On our noticeboards, and in the Kitchen/Pantry, are other notices which will help you during your stay, along with emergency procedures and contacts, health and safety information and suggested camp activities.

It is very important that the Camp Organiser or a designated person completes the Building Compliance Daily Inspection, early evening on every night’s stay. Please initial the dates in the Red Recording Folder (found in the Pantry or Kitchen).

Toka Cottage: Tenants are welcome to use Toka Cottage. It sleeps four in comfortable rooms, and has its own kitchen and bathroom. You will find the keys inside the Main Lodge when you arrive. The power and hot water in Toka Cottage will need to be turned ON (small switch board on the wall opposite the cylinder) on arrival and OFF when you depart. Toka Cottage is ideal for adults supervising groups on camp. It is not suitable for unaccompanied children. Do ensure that Toka is cleaned, the windows latched shut, and the door locked when finally vacating.

Tenants’ Checklist

On departure, please complete our online Tenants’ Checklist to guide you through the cleaning / lock-up process and leave the Lodge in excellent condition for the next guests. You can review your stay, report any maintenance issues and make suggestions for improvements. We value your input.
