Fire bans
We must follow the city bans on outside burning. It is the guests responsibility to ensure they are aware of fire bans during their stay. Bush burning bans do NOT include camp fires. So as long as the campfire is contained and under control you should be ok. So campfires ARE allowed. Please go to Selwyn’s Facebook site for this information.
What to pack
Water Shoes
It is entirely up to the guests but water shoes are for those who are squeamish about the soft water bed.
