HILL RISE HOUSE

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Are there telephone and fax?

We have two fixed line telephones for the use of our guests. One line in each house.
Be careful! International calls are very expensive! Get the overseas party to call you back whenever possible.
If you use the phones, we ask you pay for international call charges if they exceed US$10 in total.
You will not be charged for local calls.
Chargeable calls (inclusive of Government Tax) will be billed to guests within about 2 months of their departure.
In more than 14 years we have never had a visitor fail to settle a phone bill, so please do not let us down!
Fax is on the telephone line in the Guest House.
If you are expecting to send/receive faxes, and the Guest House is unoccupied, ask our housekeeper for the key.
For sending faxes, please see the information above in respect of call charges.
If you expect to receive faxes, please keep an eye on amount of paper on the roll.

Is there a television?

We subscribe to a basic Cable TV package: International news, documentaries and Caribbean services.
No premium channels.
We do not have DVD equipment.

Is there a radio and CD player?

Yes, we have a portable Radio/CD/Casette. It produces quite a respectable quality sound. This type of equipment (particularly the CD part) is prone to failure in our climate, so working order cannot be guaranteed. If essential, bring your own. There is a small selection of CD's; it is best to bring your own favourites.

What do you have in the kitchens?

In each of the two kitchens:
Gas hob, oven and grill.
Blender
Electric kettle
Toaster
Fridge with freezer compartment.
Additionally in the Main House:
Larder fridge
A second fridge with freezer compartment
Microwave oven
Filter coffee machine
Juicer.

Do you have airconditioning or fans?

With cooling Caribbean breezes on our hill side, air conditioning is not necessary.
For still days and nights we have ceiling fans.

What about laundry equipment?

We have a laundry in the Gate House which is normally only used by our Housekeeper, Donna, who will launder anything that does not require special care. There is no formal charge although we hope you will give her a good tip if there is a lot of personal laundry.
