NATIVE WILDLIFE & INSECTS You're staying on the Great Ocean Road, surrounded by bush, gardens and coastline - and the wildlife is a good part of what makes it special. It also means the occasional insect finds its way indoors, most often through spring when everything wakes up, and in the warmer months snakes are a natural part of the landscape here and are sometimes seen outdoors. Every home is professionally cleaned between stays, but no house surrounded by bush and garden is ever entirely insect-free, and we'd rather tell you than have it come as a surprise. • If something indoors bothers you, call us and we'll come and sort it out • Outdoors, stick to the paths and keep an eye on children and dogs in long grass • If you do see a snake, give it plenty of room and let us know - never approach it RUBBISH - PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK There is no rubbish collection at this location. We ask that guests take their own rubbish with them when they leave - either to the Apollo Bay tip or home - so we can all stay conscious of the waste we produce out here. Extra costs apply if rubbish is left behind for the cleaners to remove. PROPERTY-SPECIFIC • Firewood for the fireplace is supplied from April to November. From December to March, please bring your own if you'd like to use it. We provide some kindling; extra kindling and firelighters are available at Foodworks or the Ampol service station in Apollo Bay. • There is other heating throughout the home and additional blankets are always available • This property is not pet-friendly • The property is rural - please allow extra driving time
