Star Apple House Staff & Service
Pansy our cook, Lynette our housekeeper and Michael our "major D"
A Star Apple day starts early with Michael preparing the pool and
sun deck/lounge area for the days activities.
By 7am Pansy will have placed a large pot of Coffee & a bowl of
fruit on the verandah. Full breakfast is served when all our guests
are ready, but usually about 9. "We normally go for a run before
that and then try to run back up the hill, very interesting"! After
that you are free to do what ever, Chill by the pool, explore the
extensive grounds (Michael will at some point during your stay,
take you on a field tour to introduce you to the numerous types
of Fruit trees, plants, and birds at Star Apple.)
Pansy will handle grocery shopping and cooking. She will pre-purchase
your first few meals plus pantry staples, then finish the week's
shopping after meeting with you to discuss your preferences. At
the end of each week she will present receipts and reconcile your
account. A typical grocery budget for a week is US$300 approx.
per adult, less for kids.
Lynette, wearing her chambermaid and laundress hat, will care for
every service detail ... providing a daily supply of fresh linens
and flowers, returning your neatly folded laundry each day, and
turning down your bed each evening.
Michael and Frank will maintain
the pool and grounds immaculately each day. Wearing his "Butler
Hat" Michael will serve, tend the bar and generally facilitates.
