WILDLIFE
We absolutely love our native animals and plants that share our amazing property. We are very proud members of Land for Wildlife and are committed to the survival of these amazing creatures and plants.
We encourage you to enjoy the native wildlife as much as we do and take time to be still and quiet and observe these creatures in their natural habitat.
Guests are not permitted to harm the land or the natural habitat of any wildlife in any way.
Wild Life Cabins are not liable for any personal injury due to animals, wildlife, insects or bugs. The guest is expected to take necessary steps of precaution against these animals & insects.
The guest agrees to take appropriate safety measures to prevent negative interactions with wildlife in the area. This includes, but is not limited to, not engaging with wild animals, keeping food out of reach, keeping the site clean, and securing all personal items.
​
​
EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES PROVIDED
As the Wild Life Cabins are remote and completely off-grid there is the possibility of an interruption to the facilities such as the air-conditioning, lighting, stove, toilet, shower, fridge or running water. The guest must report any inoperative or defective equipment to Wild Life Cabins immediately. We will make every reasonable effort to have repairs made as soon as possible. While every attempt will be made to ensure that all the advertised equipment and appliances are in working order at the commencement of a rental period, no reduction of rent, rebate, or refund will be issued for a mechanical failure of any appliances.
​
CAMPFIRES
We have provided fire pits at each cabin that you can use in accordance with local fire regulations. It is your responsibility to be aware of any current fire bans (we recommend you check out the CFA website before you go).
We also provide designated firewood so please don’t collect wood from the site or cut down any trees on the property.
All campfires must be contained within the designated fire pit area and you are responsible for complying with local fire regulations and general safety considerations. If it is windy, guests must not light a fire under any circumstances.
When campfires are permitted, you must do everything you can to ensure the safe enjoyment of the campfire, and that you do not create any risks to property, people and animals.
When lighting fires you must (1) only use the designated permanently constructed fire-pit, (2) ensure there is no debris within 2m of the fire and (3) completely extinguish the fire before leaving the site or going to bed – this includes ensuring all coals and embers are completely extinguished.
Any guest who lights a fire during either a fire ban period or after they have been instructed not to by Wild Life Cabins may be removed from the property and will not be refunded any portion of their stay.
TOILET USE
As our cabins are completely off-grid we supply compostable toilets for your convenience and comfort.
The usage instructions will be supplied and displayed in the cabins.
If you do not follow the instructions relating to the compost toilet Wild Life Cabins reserves the right to charge for any costs associated with restoring the toilet to normal operating standards. This includes (amongst other things), a $3,000 repair and servicing charge for placing any sanitary or other products (other than toilet paper) down the toilet.
​
DAMAGE
Please note that you are liable for any damages caused by you or your accompanying party. This includes damage to the cabin, surrounding land, damage to or loss of animals and/or failure to properly exit the house (e.g. failure to close windows, lock the door, turn off the gas, turn off the water etc).
