Please use the heat pump when required.  Please note: It will automatically turn on between 9pm and midnight every day. This is to ensure the air quality of the property when it’s vacant.  If you don’t want it on during this time, please feel free to switch it off or to a mode you prefer.

Step 1: Contact Kathryn for Your “Go-Ahead” & Access Code

• On the day of your arrival, please send a quick text to our Property Manager, Anne, with your estimated arrival time (ETA). Her number will be in your check-in message.
• Anne coordinates the final touches with our cleaning team. She will message you back the moment the house is ready for you, and will provide you with your unique lockbox code and access details at that time. This is your “all clear” to head to the property.
• The Bonus: We always try to get you in earlier if we can! By texting Kathryn, you’ll be the first to know if an early check-in becomes available. On rare occasions during a busy changeover, the house may be ready slightly after 3:00 PM. This process ensures you can time your arrival perfectly without any waiting.

Step 2: Accessing the Property (Once you have your code)

• To Open Lockbox: Enter the code Kathryn provides into the lockbox to get your keys.
• Security: For your safety, please be aware that a CCTV camera monitors the lockbox area.

our kitchen is fully equipped for everything from a simple breakfast to a gourmet meal.

• Pantry & Fridge Items: You will find various food items, including home preserves, in the fridge and pantry. Please feel free to help yourself! Our cleaners check expiry dates, but it’s always wise to double-check before use.
• Appliances & Cooking: Feel free to use all the appliances. You’ll find a portable induction plate in the cupboard under the espresso machine; we highly recommend using this instead of the main cooktop for boiling water fast for things like pasta. All our dishes are microwave-safe.
• Microwave: Our microwave is a combination oven. It’s best for smaller meals and can heat on fan bake, grill, or microwave settings.
• Dishwasher: Please feel free to use the dishwasher. Using it actually saves more water than handwashing! The dishwasher tablets are located under the sink.
• Cocktail Station: Help yourself to the cocktail station for mixing your favorite drinks. The Soda Stream is great for making mixers. All the glassware for wine, beer, and cocktails is located in the pantry.
• Bella Vacca Milk: We love local! You’ll find delicious, fresh milk from Bella Vacca. Take the empty bottle from the pantry and swap it for a new one at the local Four Square or Cable Bay Store—this saves you the $5 bottle deposit!
• Blender: Perfect for mixing cocktails, thickshakes, or smoothies.
• Ice Cream Maker: See the separate section for simple instructions on making your own ice cream!
• Cleaning: Should you need them, cleaning cloths and multipurpose spray are stored under the kitchen sink.
• BBQ: Outside, you’ll find the BBQ ready for action. To keep it in top condition, please use a bowl of water and the metal fibre brush (hanging on the BBQ) while it’s on and hot. Scrub with water until clean.
• Popcorn Maker: You’ll find popcorn in the pantry. For melted butter, microwave for 10 seconds in a covered container.
• Sandwich Press: Located in the cupboard under the espresso machine. Please ensure it’s clean (use non-stick safe cleaning utensils to clean before putting away).
• Chopping Boards: Plastic boards can go in the dishwasher, however please hand wash bamboo and wooden ones.
