HOUSE RULES
Our place runs well when you know all the info - everything can be found here from where to find more linen to what goes in what bin. There's also a checklist for entry and exit procedures to refer to during your stay.
Entry Procedure and Key Safe
The key to the house is located in the lock box at the back door. One key does the back door and the basement door. The Patio doors have an internal lock. The key is to remain in this safe at all times when you exit the house.
A key safe code will be sent as an SMS to your registered mobile number two days before the start of your stay.
Once inside you will then need to turn on the hot water, stove and fridge. These 3 switches are located above the stove in the kitchen.
A fee of $100 will be charged if you lose this key or are locked out and need assistance for entry.

Linen and Laundry
All linen is provided. Tablecloths can be found with the tea towels in the drawers in the kitchen. There are wool blankets in the blanket box in bedroom number 3.
An iron and ironing board is in the wardrobe in the bunk room. If you need extra linen, you will find more sheets and pillow cases in the shelves of the wardrobe in the 3rd bedroom (the bunkroom) as well as waterproof kids sheets. Extra towels are under the sink in the bathroom and tea towels are in the kitchen drawers next to the stove.
At the end of your stay please leave all towels, bed linen and kitchen linen in the orange and green laundry bags in the basement for collection by our laundry service.

Rubbish and Recycling
Bin bags are located under the kitchen sink for the kitchen foot-pedal bin next to the fridge. All household rubbish that is not recylcable is to go in the outside red lid bin. Please
recycle all glass jars and bottles into the blue bin (no lids). The yellow bin is for paper, cardboard and plastics (including plastic bottles). You are not required to clean the house but if you need a vacuum cleaner at any time it is under one of the twin beds in bedroom one.
This rubbish system is different to that in Australia so please make sure you put the right things in the right bins.

Parking
You can park anywhere around the back of the house on the driveway. Do not park on the grass or block the driveway for other cars to turn around at the top of the driveway.
