Needs confirmation
The lockbox's exact location on the property hasn't been confirmed yet — add it here once confirmed (e.g. "by the front door").
Before you leave
Please return the key to the lockbox before you check out — see Before You Leave.

Things to Bring / Don't Need to Bring¶
If you're staying longer than a night or two, we'd recommend bringing a few extra consumables, since what's provided is only enough to get you started:

Important House Information¶
House rules:

- Please don't smoke in the house or on the balcony/decks
- Please keep noise down after 11pm
- Please don't eat in bedrooms or on the sofas
- Please don't sit on the sofas in wet swimwear or wet clothes — it can leave stains
- Please wash any dishes prior to checkout
- Any damages are paid for out of the security deposit
- There's a tap on the front balcony for washing sand off your feet — using it before heading inside helps keep sand out of the house
- If you use the baby cot or high chair, please give them a clean and pack them away again afterwards
Help us keep the plants happy
There are live plants throughout the house — feel free to top up their water reservoirs if you notice one's low. They're hardy and hard to overwater, so there's no need to worry about doing it wrong.
Parking: the double carport downstairs is used by another unit — please don't park there. Parking is available in the garage under the house or on the street. There's no EV charger on the island, but the garage does have a power point (up high) if you need to charge an EV.
BBQ gas bottle: if it runs out, see BBQ.
Rubbish: bins go out on Sunday, collected Monday morning — see Before You Leave → Bins.
Wi-Fi & Internet¶
The Wi-Fi network name and password are on the fridge in the house — not stored in this public repository.
