A high-chair is provided and stowed in the garage. A cot is not supplied, so guests needing infant sleep equipment should bring their own travel cot.

Connections behind TVs should not be interfered with. Guest-use power and ethernet outlets are available in all bedrooms, the dining room and the lounge room.

Smart lighting switches are not instantaneous like regular switches. Lights typically respond to switches within a second or two. Please do not hold buttons down, as this can cause resetting and disabling of functions.

EV charging is provided for vehicles associated with the booking only. It must not be used for public, third-party or business charging.

Abnormal, careless or excessive utility or service use may be treated as misuse of the property. Recovery depends on the booking platform, evidence available, insurance position and any lawful recovery process that applies.

Irrigation and outdoor areas

The garden irrigation is automated and self-regulating. Please do not alter taps, valves, timers, sprinkler heads or irrigation controls.

If a watering cycle might affect your outdoor enjoyment, please contact the host. It can usually be rescheduled where practical.

Outdoor fires, fire pits, fireworks, fuel storage, gas bottles and hazardous materials are not permitted, except ordinary personal items used safely.

Rubbish, damage and reporting

Please use the provided rubbish bins. The red bin is for general waste. The yellow bin is for recyclables. The green bin is for garden waste only and should not be used by guests unless instructed. Bins should be placed along Griffin Avenue on Wednesday nights and returned to the bin enclosures by Thursday evening. Please don’t leave bins on the lawns.

Do not leave rubbish loose, outside bins, in the garage, in the laneway or on neighbouring property.

If you have excess rubbish or any concerns, please contact the host for assistance.
