Please bring the bins in if they have been collected during your stay. Your assistance with this is appreciated.

Meter Box

In the event of a power outage, we recommend first checking Western Power to see whether the outage is an area outage, and if not, you may need to check the meter box for any tripped switches. The meter box can be found inside, off from the kitchen near the laundry. Please contact Seaside Homes in both situations regardless.

Pantry Supplies

Basic pantry condiments fluctuate from booking to booking and we are unable to confirm contents.

Oven

Ensure the oven switch above the oven (and marked 'oven') is on to turn on the oven. Also ensure that a time (and any time at that) is set on the oven. Both of these items are required before the oven will turn on. Then, simply turn the temperature dial and function dial and it will come on.

Fridge

Only water comes out of the fridge, not ice.

Coffee Machine

Nespresso pods or similar are taken. Please feel free to bring your own pods. A few pods will be provided otherwise. You are also right next door to Tod's Cafe which is fantastic and does excellent food and coffee.

Dishwasher

Recommend using the "quick 60 min" cycle.

1) Ensure you are connected to the Dolphin's Leap wifi
2) Open your chosen streaming app on your phone
3) Click the "cast" icon on phone (which looks like a square with a wifi pushing through the bottom left hand side)
4) Select the Dolphins Leap Cast TV device and follow the remaining prompts on your phone
5) Enjoy your favourite shows and moviies cast from your phone to the TV!

Upstairs Speaker

There is a speaker located on the bookshelf near the pool table. To play music through your phone, connect your phone manually into the speaker using one of the cords provided, ensure the speaker is turned on as well and the sound is up.

Upstairs Alarm System

Located in the master bedroom, please do not touch this unit.

Air Conditioning

There are 3 split cassette systems located downstairs. One in the lounge and one in each of the bedrooms. These are controlled by separate remote controls.

The ducted air conditioning for the upstairs area has a control panel next to the pool room bar. Touch the screen to turn it on and choose "heat" or "cool" . Under the aircon control screen there are 5 zone switches to manage the airflow. There is also a fan button to choose Low, Medium or High. Please make sure the temperature is set to 22 degrees during summer and 23/24 degrees during winter.

To help maintain the performance and longevity of the air conditioning system, please follow these guidelines:

• Do not run all zones at the same time.
• A maximum of three (3) zones may be used at once.
• Running more than three zones simultaneously may cause the system to overload and malfunction.

We kindly ask all guests to observe this limit to avoid disruption and ensure a comfortable stay for everyone.

Please ensure the A/C and all lights are switched off when leaving the home.

Washing Machine / Dryer

For the washing machine and dryer, we recommend using the "everyday" settings. Please remember to remove lint from clothes dryer after use as it is a fire hazard.

Washing Line

Pool

The pool is very shallow the whole way along and has no deep end. Because of this, but as always required around pools, please ensure care should always taken when entering the pool and we do not recommend "diving in" or jumping in from the sides.

While the pool is attended to monthly by a professional pool cleaning service and we do have a pool cleaner. Sometimes leaves might drop into the pool. If you would like to clear them out before using the pool, there is a pool scooper located in the back green shed behind the pool (and thank you!). Any leaves collected can be put in the compost looking bin near the fence on the grassy area.

Pool Cleaner

While the pool is professionally cleaned regularly, as the house is on the coast, it is windy and there will often be leaves and sometimes sand in the pool. We do our utmost to keep the pool clean. There are times when the pool may not be ‘hotel clean’ but the water quality is always as it should be.

If you would like an additional clean upon arrival, there is an option to use the robotic cleaner which is stored in the laundry in the broom cupboard inside a black crate. The cleaner needs to be stored there when not in use to charge. To use the cleaner, take the black crate with the cleaner to the pool area, it needs to be switched on by holding the on button until it beeps and then put in the pool. It will cycle through for about 3 hours. Guests may swim while it is in use but please can they be mindful/respectful and ensure it is not stood on or bumped.

At the end of the clean cycle, cleaner needs to be removed by pool pole near pool that has a hook that hooks on to the top of the cleaner near the on button. The basket needs to be cleaned out. Let cleaner dry, return to black crate and put back in laundry broom cupboard on charge. Information for reference with the Pool Cleaner can be found at Aiper.com.

Outdoor Area Dining

We have special outdoor area cutlery and crockery if you would like to use that. Located on a shelf in the pantry.

Upstairs Outdoor Furniture

Outdoor cushions will be stored in the upstairs games room area.

Security Cameras

This home is fitted with external facing security cameras which are not monitored during guest stays. However, if the cameras are found to have been tampered with by guests during their stay, the guest will be charged $500 and or the cost of the security company call out, and it may result in the immediate termination of their booking and expulsion from the property.

CCTV

There are CCTV cameras located at the front and back of the house and are not monitored during guest stays. They are for added security while the house is vacant.

Safety

The smoke alarms are in the hallway. The fire blanket and fire extinguisher are in the living room.

Kangaroos

The Western Grey Kangaroo is widespread across the South West and is often spotted in areas away from main roads. Be especially cautious when driving at dusk and during the night.

These kangaroos enjoy grazing and resting on lawns at various properties. Observe them from a safe distance, but avoid getting too close.

Lizards, Skinks & Bobtails

Lizards are the most frequently spotted reptiles in the South West. If your backyard or garden has a warm area, you’re likely to have a skink or lizard living nearby! Skinks especially enjoy basking on rock walls. They are harmless but may be drawn to food scraps left on decks or in courtyards.

Possums

The Western Ringtail Possum (Pseudocheirus occidentalis) is a critically endangered tree-dwelling marsupial found exclusively in South Western Australia. This species is now classified as critically endangered. Western Ringtail Possums, along with other urban wildlife, are most active at night, and you might hear them moving across roofs and gutters.

Snakes

The South West is home to both venomous and nonvenomous snakes. In most cases, snakes will move away before you even notice them and will only attack if they feel threatened or startled.

When walking through bushland or long grass on warm days, be mindful of snakes. It is advisable to wear closed shoes, long socks, and long pants for protection.

Never approach or attempt to handle a snake.

Although snake bites are uncommon, they can happen. If someone is bitten:

• Firmly wrap the entire affected limb with a bandage or similar material, such as a scarf
• Call 000 immediately
• Limit movement as much as possible
• Keep the person calm and reassured

Wildflowers

With the world's most extensive variety of wildflowers right at your doorstep, there's no better reason to get outside and discover the stunning species found throughout the South West.

Please keep these important guidelines in mind:

• Pets are not permitted in National Parks
• Enjoy the beauty, but leave it untouched—picking wildflowers is illegal and may result in a $2,000 fine
• Respect private property and avoid trespassing
• Help protect canola crops by staying out of canola fields
  

Millipedes

Portuguese millipedes (Ommatoiulus moreleti) are part of a group of creatures known as Myriapoda (meaning "many-legged"), which also includes various native Australian millipedes and centipedes. Typically, millipedes live outdoors, feeding on leaf litter, decaying wood, damp fungi, and plant matter such as tender roots, moss, or green leaves on the ground.

These millipedes breed in autumn and early winter, which explains their noticeable activity and abundance following the first rains.

While millipedes play an important role in decomposing organic material in the soil, Portuguese millipedes become pests when their populations grow too large.

Portuguese millipedes are not harmful to humans or animals, but they are attracted to lights at night, which is why they may invade homes. They do not breed indoors and will die without access to plant matter.

To deter Portuguese millipedes, turn off external lights near buildings and minimise light escaping from indoors by using curtains or blinds.

Unfortunately, applying poison or retardants is not effective in reducing their numbers. The most efficient way to remove them is by vacuuming or sweeping them off carpets and floors.
