KITCHEN

Step into our welcoming, streamlined kitchen, where culinary aspirations meet contemporary design. From culinary masterpieces to casual cooking, this kitchen is the perfect canvas to unleash your creativity, and elevate your gastronomic experience.

  • Our main home comes with a Smeg oven which is perfect for home cooked meals. Please see the instructions below on how to use the oven.

    • The right knob is for setting the temperature of the oven. Simply move the knob for the desired temperature

    • The knob on the Left is to set the oven to the setting in which you wish to cook. For example, fan force, grill, oven grill, bake, etc and all your choices will appear on the middle screen.

  • Our main home comes with a 3-burner induction stove that is extremely easy to use and operate.

    • In order to use this, simply hold the power button for 3 seconds. This is located at the bottom in the middle.

    • Once it is powered on you can set the level on the plus minus buttons located on either side and is designed to identify which burner it is for.

    • Please note that when using our induction stove, please ensure that the pot or pan is placed on the stove before turning it on. Induction stoves require the presence of cookware on the cooking zone to function. This is because the stove needs to read which zone is covered before it can generate heat. Without the proper cookware in place, the stove won't work.

  • Our home comes with a Smeg Dishwasher. We ask that you make sure all the dishes and kitchen items are run in our dishwasher prior to your departure.

  • Our kitchen comes complete with a Nespresso Machine and milk frother, perfect for the perfect cup in the morning. Getawayz NSW will provide you with ample coffee pods throughout your stay. If you prefer milk coffee over black coffee, you will need to provide your own milk for your stay.

    On departure, if the coffee pods are running low, please advise us and we will make sure to replace these for the next guests.

    Please see the instructions on how to use the Nespresso Machine below:

    Other than turning on the Nespresso Machine at the powerpoint, the first thing to do is make sure there is enough water in the machine to make your desired coffee.

    On the top of the Nespresso machine, there are two buttons to make coffee (the left is for short black, and right is for long black). Behind this is the switch to power the machine. Simply press this down and it will turn on the machine. The buttons mentioned above will flash until ready to be used.

    Simply place the pod in the machine and pull the silver latch down. This will make your coffee.

    Please remember to not overfill the pod tray.

  • Getawayz NSW ensures that each property has working fire alarms, and undergo regular fire safety inspections.

    There is a fire extinguisher and fire blanket underneath the sink, for emergencies. Please notify Getawayz NSW if this is used.

    In the case of a fire, prioritise the safety of all guests in the home, and then immediately call the fire department via +000 on your phone.

    Please report any near misses or incidents to us. Your safety is of utmost importance!

  • The fuse box at this property is located in the 2 bedroom’s drawer.

    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 Ausgrid Website to check for any known outages in the area.

    Or call their hotline number:  13 13 88 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.

  • The bins are located on the left side of the driveaway facing the road. 

    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 Monday morning, so we ask that you leave these out on a Sunday evening and collect these from the street if you are staying on Monday. If you are checking out on Sunday, 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.
