Pool pump times are 10am - 12pm and 2-4pm.

Please do not touch any other buttons in the pool pump area other than the pool light for night time swimming and the lever that start the jets to the spa, per the instructions below.

SPA

The Spa will only work when the pool pump is turned on.

There are 2 steps to turn on the spa:

1) Turn the pump on manually if using the spa outside of "pool pump run times" by referring to this photo and ensuring you have the correct setting.

2) Turn the spa jets on - to the left where the pump is you will see a black lever. Follow the directions of the arrows on the white tubes to turn the lever clockwise. When the spa is OFF, the handle is in a horizontal position (if it was a clock it would be in the position of 9 - 3) Turn the lever to a vertical position to turn it ON (if it was a clock it would be in the position of 12 - 6).

The owner has actually put screws in place so that the lever can't be turned anymore that what is instructed.

Please make sure the spa is turned off after use.

SPA HEATING

The spa can be heated and these instructions are very important. It will take from 6-10 hours to heat.

To heat the spa please go to the pool pump area. There is a lever that will be pointing in the "pink arrow" direction as seen in this photo The Sanctuary Spa Off

The lever can be a little tricky to use. Please gently push it down before turning it, and avoid using too much force, as it can damage the switch. You will be turning it to Spa as seen in this photo The Sanctuary Spa On

Its really important the Spa is turned off before you leave. Please double check before leaving.

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 the robot cleaner which can be found in the garage with instructions. 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 and the basket needs to be cleaned out. Please return the robot cleaner to the garage.

Safety

There is a fire extinguisher located in the pantry.

Alarm

There is a house alarm but this will not be armed and is not to be used

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.

Vacuum Cleaner

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.
