The hot water is electric and will reheat overnight. If all guests have long showers the hot water will run out but will reheat for the next morning. This is common in any house in the area. There is a gentle reminder stating this in the bathroom. There is a hairdryer supplied.
The toilet is separate to the bathroom next door.

Laundry
The laundry has a top loading washer. We have washing detergent there for your use. Please turn on the water taps before using the washing machine. There is a clothes line with pegs under the balcony in the back yard and a clothes airer in the front hall cupboard. The ironing board, iron and vacuum is also in the front hall for your use if needed. There is a stick vacuum for smaller clean ups in the laundry on the wall.

Balcony
The balcony has chair seating overlooking San Remo, the bridge and glimpses of the bay. The BBQ is also located here - however in winter we do take it down under the balcony for cover from the elements. Please do not sit on the railing - it’s there as a safety barrier, not as a seat.

Backyard
Our house is pet friendly with a fully fenced yard for your pet to enjoy also. It’s mainly a lawn with a small garden bed along the back fence. One fence has support struts due to the weight of our elderly neighbours vertical garden on the other side. We love him so don’t mind supporting his love affair of gardening.
The gate is over 120cm high and secure for pets of all sizes - from a teacup poodle to an Irish wolfhound, I don’t think there is a breed we haven’t had !

Garage
The garage is not to be used to park cars- there is more than enough room in driveway for cars.
As our children have grown we converted the garage into a play room and retreat with couches, a table for use, a second fridge and beach items such as a beach trolley, boogie boards, umbrella, and some backyard games. Please use as your own but please rinse all sand from items in backyard with hose provided and return to where you found them. This space is classed as a backyard room and nothing fancy but clean and tidy and there for your use if needed x

Pets
We love that you can bring your beloved pet. The house is pet friendly but prefer if you bring their own bed to use - there is a water bowl on the back deck for use. We ask that you clean up after your dog at the end of your stay. As the lawns are maintained it's easy to see if anything is left by your dog.

Guest access
Your keys will be located at the property in a key safe. This means you can check in after 2pm at any time that suits you on the day of your stay. At the end of your stay you simply leave the keys in the key box. Please use the lockbox to store keys so that less chance of lost keys etc.

Other things to note
