    • Then press either the button for Espresso or Lungo (long black). To stop the coffee flow before the automatic stop, or to top up your coffee click the same button again.

other amenities

Our home is full of all the amenities that you, your friends family and your chosen family could ask for. Below we have listed the other amenities available for you and your family to use throughout your stay!

  • The home has an outdoor Weber barbecue and is attached to natural gas so no gas bottle needs to be refilled!

    Please ensure you clean and turn off the BBQ completely after every use. There is a grill plate and also a flat plate.

    You will need to use the BBQ lighter provided.

  • The fuse box at this property is located on the right hand side of the property (when looking at the front of the property, where the stairs lead you to the front door), behind the white gate.

    Should power not be working, please check the fuses in the fuse box and flick all to “on” if one of the fuses has blown, or been switched to “off”. There is a torch located in the laundry (middle door of the pantry), on the trolley next to the washer and dryer.

    If all the switches are on, this is most likely a local power outage.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing Getawayz NSW can do to rectify external power outages.

    We would recommend either:

     Using the Endevour Energy website to check for any known outages in the area.

    Or call their hotline number:  13 10 03 to report an outage.

     If there is not a local outage and you are still experiencing issues, please contact the Getawayz NSW on 0480 801 294. For any issues after 9pm, we will attend first thing in the morning, if power is not returned to the home.

  • Bins for our home are kept in the wooden structure off the end of the car spot.

    The recycling bin is the yellow bin and red is for general rubbish. Please make sure you use the correct bins for the correct materials.

    Bins are collected Tuesday morning, so we ask that you leave these out on a Monday evening (if you are staying on a Monday night) and collect these from the street if you are staying on Tuesday. If you are checking out on Tuesday, our housekeeping and styling team will collect these on your behalf.

    If the bin instructions are not followed (including taking these out on the correct night - we will send you a reminder on the evening) there will be a $100 surcharge taken from the bond or the platform you have booked on.
