########## LOCAL LAWS & HOUSE RULES ########

Once the property is booked it is a requirement of rental to confirm the specifics of the renting group by contacting the owner by phone. The owner has the right to cancel the booking if this does not occur, or if the details of your booking party do not suit the residential nature of the property.

The owners are not overly intrusive and want all renters to have an enjoyable holiday in our home. We have a great family house in a perfect residential neighbourhood with fantastic neighbours. We want to ensure that the relationship with our neighbours stays great and this in turn means we are looking for respectful renters to use our property.

The property is rented as a "Chill" space and a place to relax with friends in a safe and enjoyable environment. It is NOT a Party venue, and NOT a rental for loud activities.

This property is registered under the Mornington Peninsula Shire Short Stay Rental Accommodation Local Law. Guests of this property must ensure they read and follow the requirements of the Code of Conduct during their stay. We suggest that you review these Local Laws on line prior to booking to ensure that you and your group can commit to this for the duration of your stay. They can be found at the following URL:

https://www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/Online-Forms-and-Services/Short-Stay-Rental-Accommodation-Local-Law

The complete detail of these Laws will be provided to you via email prior to booking and will be available at the property.

In addition to these Local Law there are also House rules that all of the renting group need to obey.

The majority of our neighbours are permanent residents and will contact the owner if any of the Local Laws or House Rules are broken. If this occurs it will result immediate eviction without return of rental or bond.

Detailed below are all the house rules and some of the more critical local Laws :

- Behave responsibly during your stay.

- No Loud Music, Loud noise of any kind or party activity is permitted AT ANY TIME.

- No Loud yelling, screaming, singing, swearing, cheering or aggressive behaviour AT ANY TIME

- Having a reasonable number of friends over to the property is fine, as is some sleeping over as long as the total at the property is a maximum of 10 people. Having more than 10 people at the property at any time without the permission of the owner is forbidden.

- Rubbish collection is a major issue on the Mornington Peninsular and it is expected that guests will put bins out on Sunday Night for Monday AM collection. Any excess rubbish (Up to 2 bags) that does not fit into Bins must be neatly tied into bin bags and left behind the property gate. Any additional rubbish bags (3 or more) will be disposed of by the guests, failure to do so will result in the Bond being decreased.

- It is a NON Smoking home. If we detect smoking has occurred in the home (it smells of smoke) the full bond will be forfeited.

When you depart please:
- Leave the house in clean, neat and tidy condition.
- Remove any food from the fridge and pantry.
- Make sure all pots, pans and utensils are clean and ready for our next guests to use.
- Empty dishwasher and return everything to its original place.

This place has everything you need for the perfect family getaway. The house is bright and modern with a beach feel. There is a large deck which gets plenty of sun and a small pool perfect for family dips, and if it gets cold there is a fire pit you can pull out on the deck and roast marshmallows! We had a fantastic time!

we spent 5 nights here and enjoyed the relaxed beach house vibe. The pool was solar heated and so it wasn't super warm (it's autumn) but the kids enjoyed it anyway and the hot outside shower was a hit after the beach. The kitchen was well equipped, which was great!
