CONSUMABLES: A fantastic set of starter-consumables are included for your convenience, such as toilet paper, tissues, paper towel, tea / coffee / sugar / a few coffee pods, food wraps, pantry basics such as pepper/salt/oil/seasonings, washing detergents, soap, dishwasher tablets, hand-wash etc. This will certainly be enough to get you started, probably enough for your whole stay, but if you need more consumables, the supermarket is nearby.
LINEN: Professionally laundered, including white hotel-quality bed linen, tea towels, lots of soft bath towels, beach towels.
CLEANING: We hope you really love how clean the property is presented for you - we don't cut corners! 'Normal' cleaning between stays (no daily servicing) is naturally included, so there's certainly no need to clean wet areas, floors or change beds etc. on your departure. It's not a hotel though, but a holiday rental, so we do just ask that it's treated respectfully, left neat & tidy, spills wiped up, rubbish in bins, bbq left clean etc. Please enjoy a little break from housework, but it certainly can't be left 'filthy', 'trashed' or damaged though (function level cleaning is not included), so kindly note that damage & non-standard cleaning may incur an additional charge.
CHILDREN are very warmly welcomed and families just love it here! No charge for up to 2 infants who have not yet turned 1 at the time of check out (max 12 guests including infants at the property however). Kindly note, no bathtub at this property. There’s no need to compromise on quality or convenience just because you're travelling with your family – just let us know if you're bringing children and we'll supply quality baby items (cot, highchair), toys, beach toys etc. Please just note that whilst the property is 'child friendly' & we’re really particular about safety, like most properties it's not 'child proof', so responsible supervision by caring adults is essential for the safety of your precious children i.e. yard is not fully fenced, stairs (doors to them can be closed though), internal balcony, sharp items in the kitchen, some breakable items etc.
THE BEACH: Just a few minutes lazy stroll to the water’s edge (160 metres to water to be precise), a picturesque walking track nearby is ideal for walking or bike riding right into the heart of Kingscote (approx 2.4 klms).
THE LOCATION: There are so many gorgeous places on the island, but for exploring from a central location and still being so close to amenities such as groceries, fuel, cafés, health care etc, we think it's absolutely perfect and why we chose this location. Many of the stunning but remote places on the island don't have these amenities nearby and wildlife is also quite prolific at night time, so it's best to avoid driving outside of the towns after dark.
CELEBRATIONS: The Cottage & Studio are a lovely space to celebrate a special occasion with loved ones! Importantly, parties or weddings etc. just require prior approval & the maximum number of guests at the property must not exceed those actually booked in as guests (i.e. if the booking is for 4 guests, no more than this can be at the property for a celebration unless by prior approval). Function level cleaning is not included i.e. it must still be left in good condition. Please, no big wild parties, bucks/hens/schoolies groups, this is a residential area so noise must be kept very low.
WIFI: Provided on a complimentary basis, it is usually reliable with a good signal, but not so good in bad weather. Whilst we don’t envisage any serious issues, please be aware that we can’t guarantee access or uninterrupted signal without fault, as sometimes the Island experiences connectivity issues.
TRAVEL INSURANCE: Sometimes holidays don't go as planned, and something may arise which prevents travel or impacts your stay, such as illness, missed or cancelled transport or weather events. As such, Travel Insurance is highly recommended.
