Other things to note LINEN & TOWELS A full linen service is included: beds are made on arrival with professionally laundered, crisp white linen, and bath towels, hand towels, bath mats and tea towels are provided. • Bunk beds are not made up - linen is supplied for guests to make these themselves, in line with occupational health and safety requirements • Please bring your own beach towels CHECK-IN, CHECK-OUT & FLEXIBLE TIMES • Check-in from 3:00pm; check-out by 10:00am • Early check-in and late check-out are subject to availability and can't be guaranteed in advance • Please request a changed time no earlier than 24 hours before arrival (or departure) - by then we'll know the cleaning schedule and whether there's a back-to-back booking • Early check-in: 1:00pm - $50; 11:00am - $95 • Late check-out: 12:00pm - $50; 2:00pm - $95 • Fees are charged through your booking platform once the request is approved ARRIVAL • We recommend arriving before 9:00pm. Check-in is via a lockbox, and our after-hours service is only checked periodically after 9pm - so a later arrival risks a delay if anything goes wrong with access. BEFORE YOU LEAVE • Load the dishwasher and turn it on - our cleaners come to put things away and clean the house, not to wash up • Take your food out of the fridge • Take your rubbish and recycling out to the property bins - red lid for general rubbish, yellow lid for recycling, purple lid for glass only (no lids or caps) • Switch off lights, appliances, heating and air conditioning • Return the keys to the lockbox and lock all doors and windows 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 PROPERTY-SPECIFIC • The home is set over two levels, with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living and dining upstairs • Bedroom 3's tri-bunk is suited to children rather than adults • There is no fireplace. Two reverse-cycle air conditioners serve the upstairs living, with heating in the bedrooms • An EV charger is available on the property - let us know in advance if you plan to use it • The front of the driveway is shared with the property on the front block. Please park in the carport or further in, and don't block their access • This home is not pet-friendly • Rubbish collection is Tuesday morning - please put the bins out Monday night whatever day you check out
