-
Excessive use of bleach can disrupt the natural balance of the system.
-
In the kitchen, please wipe off excess fats and oils from pots and dishes with paper before washing them, and dispose of the paper in the garbage.
Bugs & Wildlife
-
Boreen Point is a rural area, located opposite a sand dune and surrounded by water and national park, so it is home to various insects and wildlife.
-
Expect to encounter ants, beetles, spiders, moths, geckos, mice (mostly native marsupials), snakes, mosquitoes, cockroaches, water dragons, frogs, lizards, and goannas.
-
Some properties are screened while others are not.
-
Houses may get dusty if vacant for short periods, especially older ones, as they are not airtight.
-
Geckos are commonly found in all houses and can be problematic due to their droppings.
-
Cockroaches can enter through the septic systems, especially through drain pipes (tip: leave plugs in sinks to prevent this).
-
Ants can build nests quickly, especially in the wet season, but they usually move when exposed to light or vibration.
-
The properties are regularly cleaned and spring-cleaned to manage any bugs or dust. However, we do not do pre-entry cleans unless there is an indication of an issue.
-
If you have concerns upon arrival, please contact the office immediately. We are happy to assist with any unforeseen problems so you can enjoy your stay.
Smoke Alarms
-
All houses are equipped with compliant smoke alarms.
-
These alarms may go off unexpectedly, particularly during humid weather, or due to small insects or dust.
-
If you experience issues, please do not remove the smoke alarm. Instead, contact the office for assistance.
-
If it is absolutely necessary to remove a smoke alarm, please inform the office as soon as possible.
Cleaning
-
Your tariff includes an exit clean, which covers basic bathroom and sanitary cleaning requirements.
-
The exit clean is not exhaustive and does not constitute a spring clean.
-
You are expected to leave the house in the same condition as you found it.
