Our home is equipped with a power ducted system for both heating and cooling, ideal for ensuring comfort during chilly Winter nights and warm Summer days.
The switch for the ducted system is conveniently located on the right side wall after entering the home.
Operating the system is straightforward; follow these instructions:
Press the top right button to activate the system; a green LED will indicate that the system is active.
Use the up and down buttons in the middle to adjust the temperature. The set temperature will be displayed on the right side of the screen.
The top left button indicates the selected mode (heat, cool, dry, etc.), which will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
Please remember to turn off the ducted system when leaving the home for extended periods. The system is highly efficient and takes approximately 10 minutes to achieve the desired temperature.
For heating, we recommend setting it at 22-23 degrees, and for cooling, we suggest a setting between 18-20 degrees.

One of the highlights and centrepieces of our living room is the fireplace. Getawayz NSW will provide you with enough kindling, firestarters and firewood for your stay.
On arrival, the fireplace will be set for you and there will be a fire lighting torch in the basket with the spare firefighters, kindling and wood. Simply set the fire and you will be toasty and warm in no time.
We kindly ask that you do not remove the ash from the fireplace throughout your stay, if you can simply re-set a new fire ontop of this. Our housekeeping and styling team will look after this during the changeover.
On the departure of your stay, if you can let us know if any of these amenities are running low, we would highly appreciate this. We will replace these for the next guests to use.
