In the house there are several toilets, showers, sauna and TV. On the ground floor there is a fully equipped kitchen which is used jointly by everyone living in the house. There should be order and tidiness in the house and you are responsible for the cleaning and order. Bring  your own linens.

Means of transport: Transport within the park is usually done by car with the care takers, but there is a possibility to borrow a bicycle. For special needs it will be possible to borrow a car. If your own car is used in the service, mileage is paid.
