Located just 15 minutes from Donnybrook, Kambarang is a world from anywhere.

We have a range of accommodation options available including our bush camping facilities and our exclusive eco cabin accommodation

Eco Cabin

The cabin operates on a very small 12 volt solar power system. It can run some low wattage appliances, but not things like a hair dryer – in fact nothing that uses over 200 watts. It can run the lights, the TV, a small stereo, laptop and mobile phone chargers – but not for too long.

The lights are 12 volt and connected directly to the batteries. The inverter needs to be switched on to run appliances.

The regulator (inside the cabin) has a LED display which shows 3 values. The 3 small lights indicate which value is currently in the display. The top one indicates the voltage in the battery. When it gets below 12V, you need to start conserving power. The second one shows the amount of energy going into the batteries. The regulator will stop any more power going in once they are fully charged, until some power is drawn off. The bottom one shows consumption of 12V power from the battery. The ‘traffic lights’ give you an idea of the state of the batteries at a glance. Green is fully charged, yellow is starting to get a bit low, so keep an eye on the LED voltage display (top one) and flashing red is switch off everything except 1 light!

If all goes suddenly black - lucky you - its bedtime! There are some candles and a ‘shaker’ torch (shake to charge light) in the shelves under the stairs for emergencies.

Have fun learning to live with low electricity consumption.
