There are supermarkets located just a short drive from the house should you wish to restock for
yourself.
Housekeeping
This house has been cleaned prior to your arrival and will be cleaned upon your departure. If you
require a mid-stay clean, please contact us with 24 hours notice. Please note charges apply.
Repairs and Maintenance
While all care is taken to maintain our properties, please notify us as soon as possible of any
new maintenance issues that may occur during your stay.
Rubbish
On check out please take all rubbish/recycling to bins. You will find them in the driveway. Bin
collection day is Friday morning. If you are staying at the property on Thursday night we’d be
very grateful if you could put the bins on the curb for collection.
Fire Alarm
Please be aware that the house is fitted with a sensitive smoke detector that is easily activated.
False alarms and fire department call outs are expensive, so please take care while cooking. A
fine of approximately $1000 can be imposed. Please make sure exhaust fans are in use.
BBQ
Please clean the BBQ after use. If you need a new gas bottle we recommend exchanging it at
the local petrol station or Bunnings. Please send Meredith the receipt so you can be reimbursed.
Pool
We look after the pool between stays. Given the beautiful natural setting leaves do fall in the
pool. There is a scoop on the side you can use to clean them out if required. If there are any

some delicious chocolate beverages and treats at Chocolate Country Montville.
Rainbow Beach - 2 hour
Create a great memory and go for a horse back ride on Rainbow beach. Check out the website for all
the details and events. https://www.rbhr.com.au/
Alternatively, take a 4WD tour. 70 km on white sandy beaches. Details here - https://www.greatbeachdrive4wdtours.com/
Glass House Mountains - 40 mins
11 ranges great for hiking. We personally love the 4km circuit trail around Mount Tibrogargan. It's
really suitable for families with picnic tables and toilets at the beginning of the trail.

Great day trip. Go fishing from Bongaree Jetty or have a swim at Sylvan beach. This beach has
