Cabin
Each cabin has its own
air-conditioning unit, which can be adjusted for your comfort.
We recommend you do not over- cool your cabin as the sudden
change from the outside temperature to a chilled cabin can bring
on colds, respiratory illnesses and even stomach upsets. When
you go out, we recommend you turn the setting to 'Lo Cool', set
at about 4, and then when you return you can readjust the
temperature to your preference without having to wait for cool
air. At night you may prefer to use the fan only, and have the
windows open. Insect netting covers the windows to enable you to
do this. Please do not leave your air-conditioner on with the
window open - this results in energy loss (the equivalent of
switching on the heating and opening the windows in a cold
country!
