Please respect our neighbours because we have a great relationship with them. Should you need anything, please reach out right away as we live next door and the property manager also lives close by. If there is a spill, I will ask the cleaner to come and deal with it using a wet vacuum and spot cleaner so that the carpet may not be damaged.
You must have a good track record and 5 stars in order for me to consider your reservation request. I ask that you treat our house like your own.
There are security cameras outside the home and on the driveway, there are not any security cameras inside the home on the lake side or in the private hot tubs area. There are noise monitoring devices inside the home, there to detect and warn your hosts of any party activity and to alarm your hosts if smoking or vaping is detected in the home. The security system is cloud based and connected to the internet. Your host will be alerted immediately if a sensor is moved and you will be contacted for comment. If any house rules are thought to have been broken, you may be required to vacate the property immediately without any refund.
The property is rural and has bush gardens close by. Please keep all the doors and windows closed to avoid insects or pests getting inside the house. If spiders do get into the home, these can be sprayed with flyspray. There are mouse traps inside the home, so please let your hosts know if a pest is caught in one and house keeping will be contacted immediately.
The house keeper regularly visits the property to attend to laundry in the attached outside room beside the back door and to collect rubbish as this is a rural property with no laundromats nearby and no rubbish service. Grounds keepers may also visit at times during your stay to do maintenance around the property. Farm workers visit the paddocks and use the same driveway.
The house water supply is provided by collecting rain water off the roof and supplemented with bore water. It is treated with UV light and filtered for your safety. The garden hoses are fed with water from the bore.
Checkout time of 10.00am is strictly enforced because cleaners are pre-booked well in advance and we have to have the house turned over before other guests arrive. If you decide to check out late, extra fees will be applied by airbnb. Between 10.00-10:30am will incur a $200 fee. 10:30 - 11am will incur a $400 fee. Every half hour there-after will incur a further $200 fee in addition to the first fees. The exception is if you ask at least 24 hrs prior to checkout and the host agrees to accommodate your request by agreement in writing through the message function in airbnb

In this case, the guest agrees they will not be allowed to place a review as they broke the property rules.
16. Lady Kitchener Wood Burner instructions:
Place 4 samba fire lighter squares on the ashes in the centre. Light the fire lighter and place a piece of dry wood resting partly on it. Place another couple of pieces of dry wood beside and on this pile. Leave door unlatched but push it closed so it stays slightly ajar. Open the air vent knob by rotating anticlockwise. After 10 minutes, latch the door. After another 20 minutes, open the door and place another log or two, then latch the door. After 1 hr, close the air control fully clockwise. Store fire lighters and the lighter in the top of the pantry away from children.
