Swimming Pool Availability:
Where applicable, swimming pools will be open from the beginning of the NSW September school holidays and will close after the NSW Easter school break. Pools are maintained in accordance with seasonal and safety guidelines.

Fireplace and Firewood Use:
Indoor fireplaces and outdoor fire pits are available for use between the NSW Easter and September school holidays, aligning with regional fire safety regulations. Guests will be provided with a starter pack of firewood, kindling, and firelighters for the first 1–2 nights. If additional wood is required, we recommend purchasing from a local supplier or bringing your own.

No Party & Noise Policy:
We uphold a strict no-party and low-noise policy as mandated by NSW Short-Term Rental Accommodation legislation and local council regulations. The property is in a residential zone. Excessive noise, parties, or inappropriate behaviour may result in eviction, police involvement, and/or additional charges. We aim to offer a peaceful stay for all guests and our neighbours.

Guest Numbers & Visitors:
The number of guests listed on your booking represents the maximum allowed on the property at any time, including visitors.

Visitors may be permitted upon written request and approval.

For example, having a couple of family members visit for lunch is generally acceptable; however, hosting large gatherings without approval is not.

We are happy to accommodate reasonable requests where possible, in line with house rules and capacity limits.

Security Cameras & Noise Monitoring:
For security and compliance, the property is equipped with two external cameras, currently monitoring the driveway and front entrance only.
A noise monitoring device is also installed. Guests must not tamper with or disable this device. Penalties apply for interference, as these systems help us comply with the NSW STR Code of Conduct and maintain a safe environment for all guests.

Guest Registration & ID Verification:
Prior to arrival, all guests must complete an online registration form and provide valid photo identification (e.g., driver’s licence or passport). The lead guest will also need to submit names and contact numbers for all party members, to ensure we can reach someone in case of an emergency. This information is securely deleted after your stay. Access to the property will only be granted once guest verification is completed.

Travel Insurance Recommendation:
We highly recommend guests obtain domestic travel insurance to cover unexpected changes or cancellations. This can be especially helpful for issues like event cancellations, illness (including Covid), or other unforeseen disruptions. For peace of mind, consider providers like Cover-More, Travel Insurance Direct.
