Guest information

Welcome to our bush cottages

In an emergency please evacuate the cottage and immediately alert management. Please be careful with the use of fire – no fires may be lit anywhere on the property other than in the cottage combustion stoves. Please be respectful of the need to conserve water and never leave taps running unnecessarily.

Please note the following:

 

➢ If you have purchased the breakfast basket option we stock your cottage before you arrive with breakfast foodstuffs for the first night of your stay. If any items have not been fully stocked we will alert you to this. If, during your stay, you wish to purchase additional breakfast supplies, please ask and we will provide them.

 

➢ In respect for the privacy of guests we do not, as a rule, service cottages daily. For guests staying more than three days we schedule one linen and towel change during the stay. Should you wish to have your cottage serviced daily, please let us know and we will arrange this (a service charge of $25 per day will apply).

 

➢ Guests who use the self-catering cooking facilities are requested to clean all equipment, crockery and cutlery used. An additional charge may be applied if this is not done.

 

➢ As a courtesy to other guests and management, please report breakages or equipment faults. We expect guests to take normal care and precautions to leave the cottage in the condition in which it was found. Note that restitution charges may apply if equipment, fixtures or property are damaged, sullied or removed (see Terms & Conditions below).

 

➢ Hot water is provided by a unit fed by two LPG gas tanks located outside. We check the tanks regularly but if hot water is not delivered please ask management and they will switch tanks.

 

➢ Fire lighters are stored in the basket by the slow-combustion stove. Additional wood supplies are available from a box outside (Hitching Rail - next to the front door; Opera House - next to the bins). The door of the slow combustion heater has a child-proof lock. To open the door, first slide the vent lever all the way to the right, lifting it clear of the small step at the far right. Then turn the door handle and swing it open.

 

➢ Place wood into the slow combustion heater when fuelling it. Please do not throw wood in as this may dislodge and/or break the heat tiles or damage the glass window. Please do not overfill the heater with wood or burn other materials. Best results are achieved with a slow, even burn. Closing windows, doors and curtains helps to hold heat in.

 

➢ In the bathroom, please flush only toilet paper down the toilet. Other materials block the septic system. Please use the bags provided next to the toilet for materials such as sanitary pads and dispose of them in the rubbish bin provided.

 

➢ By law in Queensland smoking is banned in hotel rooms and this applies to our cottages. We provide an ashtray outside. Please ensure cigarette butts are fully extinguished.

 

➢ The kitchen is equipped with an exhaust fan to remove cooking odours. Its louvered vent is operated by a solenoid switch that takes a minute to fully open and shut.

Terms & Conditions

  • A deposit of half the rental price is required to be paid before a booking is confirmed. Deposits are non-refundable if bookings are cancelled within seven days of your scheduled stay. Full payment may be required if a booking is cancelled within 48 hours of your scheduled stay.

  • You may pay by credit card (Visa or Mastercard), or you may wish to pay directly into our bank account, the details of which will be contained in a letter of confirmation we send to you by email. 

  • Any credit card information we collect from you before or during your stay will be deleted after you leave, once the cottage has been inspected and found to be in good condition.     

  • We expect guests to act responsibly at all times and to treat the cottages, their facilities and the property with care and attention. While we understand that breakages of items like glasses and crockery do occur from time to time, where items are removed or lost from the cottages or where significant damage to household contents and/or fittings occurs then we shall seek reimbursement of the costs involved in repair or restoration. 

  • If spilt liquids or other materials leave stains on the carpets or floors, please try to clean the mess up as soon as possible with the cleaning products supplied. If external professional cleaning services are required, an additional charge will be incurred.  

  • Guests must not at any time light fires on any part of the property, other than in the wood-fired heaters provided in the cottages. This includes the use of gas-fired barbecues.

  • As required by law we keep a manifest of all guests who stay with us. If staff are not in attendance when you arrive, please fill out the form provided in your cottage and left on the dining room table. Please include the names of all people staying there. This may be handed to staff later or, if necessary, leave it on the table when you leave.
