The login details are :Username: Telstra58B45F Password: ajeznbdv9e Please make use of this complimentary service but remember that it is not designed for heavy downloading or streaming use. APPLIANCES If you are unsure about using an appliance, please do not hesitate to call LJ Hooker for further assistance. You will find instruction guides in the kitchen drawers. Please ensure all appliances including the BBQ are left clean and switched off after departure. BARBEQUE The gas barbeque is supplied for your convenience. Please ensure it is turned off, cleaned and the oil container and drip tray is emptied after use. A $50 surcharge will be charged if it is found dirty on departure. A spare gas bottle has been left on the property for your convenience. We ask that you please advise the office if you use the seconded gas bottle so we can arrange for a replacement bottle. BEACH Enjoy the luxury of having the ocean close by. Always swim safely and note that there are often strong surf conditions at Seven Mile Beach. Access to the beach is through the walkway from the backyard. We ask that you wash all sand off before you come back into the house and there is an outdoor shower for exactly that purpose. BIN COLLECTION Place all rubbish in the correct council bins outside. Your bins will be put out on the street for collection on Tuesday morning. Rubbish should always be placed in the council bins at the end of your stay. The Ballina Shire Council operates a 3 bin service – the yellow lid bin is for recyclables, the green lid bin is for food & garden waste and the red or dark green lid bin is for all general waste. Please ensure you place the correct waste in the correct bins. The red and yellow bins are emptied fortnightly on a rotation system, the green bin is emptied each week. Please ensure you place the correct waste in the correct bins. BOOKS DVDS & GAMES You are most welcome to use any DVDs books and games (where provided). We appreciate you letting us know if any pieces or items are missing so that we can replace them for future guests. BREAKAGES All breakages must be reported to LJ Hooker.

DEPARTURE Check-out is 10.00am on day of departure. Please ensure the dishwasher is clean and emptied and all appliances are clean upon exit. Additional cleaning charges may apply if these booking terms and conditions are not adhered to. When you leave the premises, please ensure all windows are closed and every door is locked – it is as important for protection against sudden storms as it is for general security. Please return keys to LJ Hooker Lennox Head. HOT WATER We try to be environmentally friendly and water wise, so please do be conscious of shower times. This will also help avoid running out of hot water. KEYS For security purposes, please do take care of your house keys as loss can result in charges to replace all locks. Remember to lock all doors when you depart. LIGHTS For the sake of the environment, please switch lights off when going out and ensure all lights are switched off prior to check-out. DAMAGES AND EXTRA CLEANING The premises and grounds are to be left in clean and tidy condition. Failure to do so will incur a charge for extra cleaning which will be deducted from your security bond. Extra cleaning will be charged and calculated at the number of hours required over and above the normal cleans. If a BBQ is provided it must be cleaned thoroughly on departure or a cleaning fee of $50 will apply. We request that you kindly leave the property as you found it (including washing dishes and removal of rubbish), to avoid extra cleaning charges. Any charges applicable for the above will be charged to your credit card, or deducted from the security deposit. Furniture: is not to be moved and only outdoor furniture is to be used outdoors Garbage: All garbage is to be placed in the appropriated bins provided. Removal costs and tip fees will be deducted from the security bond if excess rubbish has been left by the guest.

If there are any additional items you may need such as cots, highchairs, etc they can be arranged through Byron Bay Holiday Hire Ph. 0407 022 944. Also, please do be mindful of children when playing outside and ensure they are aware of local wildlife including snakes.

NO PARTY POLICY We have a NO PARTY POLICY. The person making the booking becomes the house manager and must occupy the property for the duration of the booking. The person will be responsible for the property and behaviour of all guests. The house manager must be nominated as the primary contact and take full responsibility to ensure that all occupants understand and agree to the rules. NOISE & NEIGHBOURS Please be aware that you are staying in a peaceful community where noise travels. Be respectful of your neighbours at all times and aware of your music and conversation levels. Noise levels after 10pm will incur penalties if complaints are received. SMOKING This accommodation is non- smoking therefore guests can not smoke in the property. If this policy is not recognised a significant room recovery fee may be charged to cover the extensive cost of restoring guest rooms to a smoke-free condition. WASHING MACHINE & DRYER The property has a washer & dryer. The appliances are straightforward to use. Please ensure the lint catcher in the dryer is always emptied between each use.
