House Manual

• Check-In: On arrival, you’ll find the key in the door – just head on in and make yourself at home.
• What’s Provided: The house is fully equipped with everything you need including cooking utensils, linen, TVs, and board games. Feel free to use the outdoor firepit, and don’t miss the spectacular night sky!
• Water Use: Jerakala relies solely on natural rainwater. Please conserve water by keeping showers short, turning off taps when brushing teeth, and avoiding unnecessary water use. The good news? It’s delicious and fresh to drink!
• Garbage: As there is no garbage collection service, please sort and place your rubbish in the marked bins under the sink and at the back stairs. Avoid leaving waste, especially food scraps, outside as it will attract wildlife. We recycle where we can, so your cooperation in sorting your rubbish is greatly appreciated.  An extra few seconds before placing items in the bin means it won’t all go into landfill.
• Kitchen: The kitchen is yours to use. Bring your own supplies or stock up at Drakes supermarket, just 5km away.
• Connectivity: No landline or Wi-Fi is provided, but mobile coverage is excellent for calls and data.
• Wildlife & Rural Life: Expect the occasional spider, frog, or even a snake – especially in summer. This is the real countryside. Keep food sealed and use bins provided to help keep critters out.
• Livestock & Gates: Cows and horses roam freely outside the house yard. Please keep all gates closed at all times to prevent them from wandering in.
• Before You Leave: Please tidy the house, clean the kitchen, and wash the dishes before departure. Additional cleaning fees may apply for excessive mess.
• Need Help? Your hosts are often busy on the farm but always nearby if needed. Liz, our wonderful co-host, lives just up the road and is often out walking her schnauzer, Star. She’s happy to help if you see her around.
