To maintain a good standard for our guests we require the following policies to be complied with.

If you are intending inviting day guests, you must receive prior agreement in writing. The price charged is for domestic use only and not commercial. Accordingly this rate is not including any extra wear associated with functions in terms of cleaning, garbage removal, wear and tear, repairs etc. Use contrary to this may result in additional payments.

Disturbance to our neighbours, including excessive noise, is prohibited and may result in termination of rental. No music should be played outside of the house and any music or noise must be kept to a minimum after 11pm. In circumstances where we get complaints from neighbours, the police will be called.

The pool is for use of houseguests only. Please ensure that children are supervised at all time when inside the enclosed pool area. This property is on tank water so we would appreciate no jumping in the pool to conserve the water supply. Please see Pool Area Rules for more information.

Departure - The property should be left in a similar state to its condition on arrival. Please ensure all windows and doors are locked, the air conditioners are turned off and fire screens are in place. Please note that any excess cleaning or damage caused by the guest will be charged for. Property management will notify the guest in writing prior to debiting any charges.
