Beach Music Cottage Guest Information
Welcome to Beach Music Cottage.
The owners Mike and Wendy, along with myself, want you to have a wonderful stay and have provided some information below to make it as relaxing and pleasant as possible.
Parking
The driveway is shared with the main property, but there is sufficient parking for 2 vehicles per house. Please be considerate when parking your car to allow comfortable access for all vehicles.
Security
For both insurance purposes and your peace of mind, please ensure you set the alarm when leaving the property, and at night when you retire to bed.
When leaving the property, please ensure all doors and windows are closed. You will need to leave the house via the front door by the funicular lift. In order to set the alarm, close the front door and the panel will show a green “ready” light. Press and hold the “empty house” button. You will then have about 60 seconds to leave the house via the front door.
To set the alarm at night, pleasure ensure all windows and doors are closed. In this case you will press the button with the “man in the house”. This will arm the windows/doors and outside beams, but you will be able to move around freely within the house.
To de-activate the alarm in either of the above scenarios, enter the code 7836.
Should the alarm be activated, a signal will be sent to ADT. They will call the house phone. They will ask for the password to confirm that all is in order and to cancel the armed response, or if there is a problem. The password is WENDY.
In the event that they cannot reach either you or myself, they will send an ADT control car to the property. The guards have access to the property and can carry out a perimeter check. They do not have access to the interior of the property.
In the event that you are concerned, you can call the ADT Control car on 083 680 2594 or the control room on 0860 100911.
Wifi
There is Wifi available for your convenience. There are internet connections and the password is Dolphin2.
Intercom
There are 2 intercoms at the entrance. Should the phone ring, simply pick up the receiver. If you wish to open the gate, press the key button which will open the appropriate gate from which the call has been made (either pedestrian or vehicle gate).
Funicular
The cottage can be accessed via the funicular or the side gate/steps. With the alarm set, you will need to enter via the funicular/front door in order to deactivate the alarm.
Please treat the funicular with care. The glass doors on the outside of the car must be closed before the car will activate. Please ensure these clamps are always returned to the closed position after exiting. Please also close the car door when travelling in it for safety reasons.
TV
There is a TV and DSTV satellite service for your entertainment.
Water & Electricity
Whilst these are included in your rental, please be considerate and turn lights off when going out.
Swimming Pool
We have provided coloured towels for the beach and pool area. Please do not take the towels in the bathroom to these areas.
Please also bring the sun lounger cushions inside, or secure in a safe area, when not in use as the wind can come up suddenly and they will be blown away.
Beach Access
There is a gate with a padlock on the pool level which leads to the beach. The key is attached to the door key for the swimming pool access point. Please ensure this is returned each time after use.
Laundry
There is a washing machine and tumble dryer provided.
Towels & Linen
Please be vigilant of stains on linen and towels…in particular, self-tanning lotions. Damaged items, caused by such staining, will be charged for.
NB Beach towels have been provided. Please do not remove our white bath towels from the property.
Rubbish Collection
Bins are collected on Tuesdays. Please put the dirtbin outside the main gates on Monday evening as the collection can be early the following morning.
Gardener and Domestic
David, the gardener and Priscilla, our housekeeper, are at the property every Tuesday. Please be aware that they will be around the property between 8am and 4pm. Priscilla will only clean the cottage if previously arranged for that day, otherwise she will be at the main house.
Check-out
Check out will be at 10am. I will be in touch prior to your departure to discuss your requirements.
PLEASE NOTE THAT NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED INSIDE THE COTTAGE AT ANY TIME
Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you any further questions and please inform me of any breakages or problems so that I can rectify them in a timely fashion.
Wishing you a wonderful stay at Beach Music.
Kindest regards
Claudia
