Regardless of the day you check out, please leave the bins out on your departure.

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. Located on the wall in the laundry. All switches should be pointing upwards. Please contact Seaside Homes in both situations regardless.

Hot Water System

Upon arrival, please ensure the switch for the hot water system is turned on. You will find it in the ensuite bathroom. If there is a power failure, the remote will need switching back on for the hot water unit to function. Please allow a few minutes for it to warm up.

Pantry Supplies

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

Coffee Machine

There is a Nespresso coffee machine at home that you are welcome to use. It accepts standard Nespresso pods, and there is a small supply available. If you require more, they are available from Woolworths and Coles.

Firewood

During the cooler months, a wheelbarrow load of firewood will be supplied, which can be found under the back patio. If more is required, it can be purchased from IGA, Home Hardware, Bunnings, and service stations.

Linen

Continental quilts and pillows are provided for each bed. Your linen requirements are also provided consisting of a top & bottom sheet for each bed; pillowcases; bath towels; bathmats; hand towels; and tea towels. Don’t forget to also bring beach towels and personal toiletries.

Bedrooms

Blankets, doonas and pillows must be not taken out of the bedrooms and used on the floor or outside.

Food and drinks are not to be consumed in the bedrooms and burning implements (e.g., candles, mosquito coils) are not to be used inside or outside the house.

Airconditioning

Turn on the Daikin system:

• Use the remote control or wall-mounted thermostat to power on the unit.

Set the mode:

• Select the "Cool" mode for air conditioning in summer.
• Choose the "Heat" mode for warming during colder months.
• Opt for the "Auto" mode, which automatically switches between heating and cooling to maintain a set temperature.

Adjust the temperature:

• Use the up and down arrows to set your desired room temperature, usually between 18°C and 24°C for comfort.

Fan speed:

• Choose the fan speed based on your preference (low, medium, high) or set it to "Auto", which adjusts based on the room's needs.

The other control panel lets you adjust the temperature in different rooms. Simply select a ‘zone’ on the screen to open or close the air vent. You can also set the desired temperature for each zone.

BBQ

To operate the Beefmaster Burner BBQ, turn all burners to high and close the lid to preheat for about 10-15 minutes. Once preheated, clean the grates with a grill brush, then turn down to the desired heat. After use, turn off all burners, close the lid, and clean the grates again once they have cooled down.

Please clean the BBQ after each use.

There is a spare gas bottle located underneath the BBQ.

Spare BBQ gas bottles can also be replaced if required during daylight hours at Bunnings or services stations. Please retain receipt and forward to us for reimbursement. Please let us know if you need to replace the BBQ gas bottle during your stay.

Patio

Please ensure that the lights are turned off when not in use, as the neighbours get very annoyed when they are left on. Thank you! You will also find some duck/swan food for when they come to visit—usually daily. Please sprinkle a small amount in the water bowl on the back wall, and don’t overfeed them.

Gas Bottles

Gas bottles supply the hot water unit and the stove top. The gas bottles are located outside the laundry, outside the home. A spare bottle is always full and is turned off. If you experience a lack of hot water during your stay, please notify us and then simply switch over the bottles. To do this, look at which bottle the valve is currently pointed at, and close the lid to that gas bottle. The switch the valve dial to point at the other bottle, and then open up that valve. Give it a few minutes to transfer through. Let us know if you have any issues.

Garage

Kayaks are available at the property for guest use. Please remember to use the life vests provided when using them. There is also a fish cleaning station on the slipway. Additionally, there is a dedicated boat carport and an extra-high garage for launching boats through side access.

The fire blanket and fire extinguisher are in the laundry.

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.
