Pool, Garden & Mood Lighting

Pool Lights

The pool lights are programmed to activate automatically at sunset and deactivate at midnight. Upon activation, they initiate a captivating display by cycling through a wide array of vibrant colors.

Situated by the sliding door in the family meals area, a smart button allows you to customize the pool lights' colour scheme. To cycle through the various hues, press the smart button with at least a 3-second interval between presses.

Garden Lights

To create a special outdoor feel we have installed garden lights. They switch on at sunset and switch off at midnight.

Mood Lights

To create an enchanting outdoor ambiance, we have installed garden lights that illuminate the surroundings at sunset and gracefully fade away at midnight.

Pool/Garden Light Power Switch Locations

A control panel located near the sliding door in the far right-hand corner of the TV area allows you to manage the following features. In case you wish to override the timers, these switches offer manual control:

Switch 1: BBQ Spot-Light (Normally set to a 1-hour timer unless the BBQ is in use)

Switch 2: Pool Lights

Switch 3: Garden Lights

If you prefer to switch off the mood light in the front sitting room, simply head into the sitting room. Two light switches are installed, with the one closest to the front window dedicated to deactivating the mood light.

Using The BBQ

Our BBQ is an electric pig iron BBQ with automation. Pig iron provides even heat and is resistant to rust. Here are the instructions for using the BBQ:

IMPORTANT: The BBQ cover must not be closed while the plate is hot.

Step 1: When the cover is opened, the BBQ will automatically switch on. When the cover is closed, it will automatically switch off.

Step 2: The BBQ will switch off after 15 minutes unless it senses a person. When it does, it will remain on for another 15 minutes. This additional 15-minute cycle repeats automatically as long as the BBQ senses a person.

Step 3: If the BBQ has switched off, manually switch it on by using the power button located underneath the BBQ on the right-hand side.

Step 4: Pre-heating the BBQ is essential. Turn the temperature to maximum for 10 minutes. Once the plate is hot, adjust the temperature to your desired cooking level.

Step 5: A good starting temperature is 190°C, which works well for chicken or sausages. Steaks BBQ best at around 250°C. Any higher and they are likely to burn.

Cleaning The BBQ:

Step 1: Turn the temperature down to 100°C and let the plate cool.

Step 2: Remove any large scraps with the supplied spatula.

Step 3: Spray the plate with the contents of the white bottle.

Step 4: Wipe the plate clean with the supplied BBQ wipes.

Step 5: Empty and clean the fat collector container.

Step 6: Spray the stainless steel surfaces with the contents of the blue bottle and wipe them down with the supplied paper towels.

Step 7: Oil the plate with the provided oil using the brush.

Step 8: Close the cover; the BBQ will switch off automatically.

Dishwasher Instructions

Dishwasher

The dishwasher has a heavy duty cycle which provides the best cleaning results.

While it is absolutely fine to use shorter cycles during your stay, we kindly ask that before departing all dirty dishes, cutlery, etc be stacked in the dishwasher and that the heavy duty cycle is switched on.

Please use the provided dishwashing powder and then use the following instructions.

Pets

Dogs are only permitted outside the house and are not allowed inside. (Additional cleaning fees apply where dogs have been allowed inside the house).
Dogs are not permitted in the pool, as even a few minutes in the pool can increase phosphate levels to a point where balancing the water becomes difficult, resulting in cloudy water that is difficult to fix.
Dogs have their own enclosure behind the pool, which includes a kennel, water and food bowls, and a dog bed. When going out and leaving your pet(s) behind, they must be left in the enclosure.
Please clean up after your dog(s). There is a small hand shovel and container provided in the dog enclosure for this purpose.
If you have any requests or questions regarding your pet(s), please contact us on 0419 777 440 via text, phone-call, or via the Airbnb platform.

Mosquito Traps

For your comfort there are three, non toxic, high tech mosquito traps installed. Two downstairs and one upstairs.

The traps use a UV light to lure mosquitos and then traps them using a fan and a mosquito basket.

The mosquoto traps are designed to switch on when mosquitos are known to be active. When the temperature outside, at sunset exceeds 23 degrees degrees and the relative humidity exceeds 60% the traps will run for three hours.

The traps are totally automatic and therefore don’t require any input to operate.

Navigating The Driveway

The driveway is steep, it gives the house elevation and privacy. If reversing straight out the average size car will bottom out.

To avoid scraping the road:

Reverse almost to the end of the driveway.
Once you are on bottom part of the driveway, where it flattens out start you turn. (Image 1)
Turn hard almost completing your reverse turn before moving onto the road. (Image 2)
