House Information
Welcome to Hamelin Bay Vista! We hope you enjoy your stay and have a wonderful time exploring the Margaret River Region.
Wifi
Network: WiFi 349F
Password: c55584838
There is Satellite NBN internet at the house, however the package is not unlimited due to the services offered in the ’remote location’ of the cottage. We do not list the house as having internet as a feature as there may be limitations on data availability and slow internet speeds during your stay.
Fire Restrictions
At certain times of the year in Western Australia, the Shire imposes restrictions on fire pits (including campfires), depending on the season and the current fire danger rating. The season starts from the 9th of November to the 12th of May.
Residents and visitors are responsible for understanding and abiding by all fire restrictions. Penalties for non-compliance apply.
For more information, please visit the "Burning Periods and Fire Danger Ratings" section on the Shire Augusta & Margaret River website
Amenities
We like to provide you with an initial supply of toilet paper, body wash, oil, salt and pepper sachets, tea bags, coffee sachets, bin liners, dishwashing liquid, washing powder etc. upon arrival. These items are complementary and additional supplies of these are available at any of the three supermarkets in town River Fresh IGA, Coles and Woolworths.
Water conservation
With changing climate conditions, the southwest region of Western Australia is receiving less predictable rainfall each year. Hamelin Bay Vista relies upon collection of this natural resource to provide the cottage and gardens with a water supply from onsite water tanks.
Whilst water saving devices such as special shower heads and dual flush toilet are in place, we request you to please use this precious natural resource wisely by ensuring no water taps are left flowing unnecessarily and you consider adjusting the length of showers to help preserve this finite resource.
We thankyou for your consideration and understanding.
Toilet / Septic System
Please note that although Hamelin Bay Vista is a lovely, renovated cottage filled with character, it is still a building close to 60 years old. This means it has an old specification septic sewage system using narrow diameter clay piping.
As such, the toilet can become blocked quite easily thus creating inconvenience for guests. We request that you (or your children if applicable) are mindful not to use excessive amounts of toilet paper as this will almost certainly cause a blockage. We also request that no items of rubbish or anything other than bodily waste and toilet paper is placed into the toilet.
Finally, please consider those who use the toilet after you and our hard working cleaning team by using the supplied brush to clean the toilet when necessary following your use. We thank you for your consideration and understanding.
Airconditioner
Please consider the environment and do not leave the Air Conditioner running whilst you are away from the cottage.
Firewood
Please be advised that firewood for the indoor wood fireplace at this house will only be provided from May - September.
If you are staying outside this period, please bring your own firewood and fire starter kit (firelighters, newspaper etc) or be prepared to purchase bags of firewood once you arrive in the region. Please do not collect wood from the property.
Oh your way through Margaret River town, you can usually purchase wood from Mitre 10, Bunnings or Better Choice Service Station.
Noise Curfew
Quiet time is from 9pm. Please be reminded that we have a strict no party policy and ask that you be respectful of our neighbours at all times during your stay, particularly after sunset we ask you to please bring any music/noise inside.
Gas Bottles
Please note that if a gas bottle runs out during your stay you will need to manually switch to the other gas bottle. Please let us know if you have to switch bottles during your stay so we can be sure to order a replacement bottle.
No Smoking
Strictly NO Smoking inside the house.
Please make sure any outside smoking is away from open windows and doors and cigarette butts are extinguished and disposed of appropriately. Any cigarette/cigar odours inside the house will incur an additional cleaning charge.
Rubbish / Bins
There are 3 bins outside the house. Please make sure to put your rubbish in the bins before you leave so we can avoid ants from moving in.
The bin with the yellow lid is for recycling.
The bin with the red lid is for all other general waste.
The bin with the light green lid is for all organic waste including food scraps.
Smoke Alarms
This is fitted with a hard wired smoke alarm(s) with a battery back-up. Excessive smoke from cooking may set off the alarm. To turn off press the central button for a short period of time. If the alarm is continually making a regular ‘beep’ noise every 60 seconds it requires a new backup battery. Please advise our office so we can make the necessary arrangements for you.
