Other things to note
WIFI-
We have NBN now! Unlimited WIFI.
The cottage has a huge smart TV so you can enjoy your Netflix, Prime and Stan. Please just log out afterwards.
Please don’t visit immoral or pornography sites on our internet connection.
Induction Stove
We have recently installed a brand new induction stove top (2 burner). Please use the special induction pans only. Note that the stove gets extremely hot! However it is not hot to the touch. Heat is conveyed to the special induction pan.
• The controls respond to touch so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry and that there are no objects (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin layer of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
Hot Water
Please note that we have an environmentally friendly heat pump hot water unit. Please use hot water sparingly. If you use too much hot water and then try to fill the spa you may run out of hot water. Please just wait a little while and the hot water tank will refill.
Firewood
We supply enough fire wood for the average stay. Firewood is expensive and to keep our rates reasonable we can not supply wood for a constantly roaring fire.
Should you wish to operate the fire constantly (all day or for multiple nights) you will need to provide your own wood.
Should you require additional fire wood you can purchase in Daylesford at the petrol stations at your own cost.

There is a lovely deck chair on the deck. Under the main king size bed you will find the long cushion for the deck chair. Please put the cushion back under the bed when you are finished with the cushion and before final departure.
