Day guests
We are legally responsible for anyone who is on the property, not only for management of facilities, to cover insurance, but also in the event that we need to evacuate the property. For this reason it is our policy to charge a $25 fee per person for day-guests to visit. We feel this is a nominal fee considering what we offer. Even so, we only allow day-guests by prior arrangement. Failure to comply will result in forfeiture of bond.

All cottages have reverse cycle heating and cooling. The reverse cycle units are turned on by pushing the red button on the remote. Select either the snow flake (cooling) or the sun (heating). Adjust the temperature accordingly. Please turn the units off when you leave the cottages.

Good relations with our neighbours is something we value as very important to our business, we all living in this environment for the peace and serenity it offers. As such we don't allow excessive loud music which may affect the amenity of the area. We provide CD players in all the cottages. We ask that music played outdoors is played at a reasonable level and turned off by 9pm. We ask that guests consider neighbours and other guests when playing music.

There is no bombing, running or boisterous behaviour allowed at the pool and no glassware or bottles allowed poolside. Plastic 'glassware' is provided. Please hang towels on the clothesline and don't leave them on the pool chairs. Also if you have a bbq in the pool pavilion, clean up after use and leave it as you found it returning food etc to your cottage fridge. The pool pavilion fridge is for use during a bbq only. Clean the bbq for the use of other guests. If you have inflatable toys for use at the pool, please take them back to your cottage after use. If behaviour causes a disturbance to the amenity of the area, such as a complaint from a neighbour or the police, $300 will be deducted from your bond.

We try to minimise our impact on the environment as much as possible, and sort rubbish so it can be effectively disposed of as easily as possibly, also our local tip accepts recyclables only to facilitate this we provide a recycle bin (with a yellow lid) for bottles, cans and cardboard and a green rubbish bin for general rubbish. If you have rubbish in excess of this, please put them into appropriate garbage bags beside the appropriate bin. You will be charged a rubbish disposal fee of $120.

Super quiet gateway just 1 hour from the cbd
The estate was so amazingly quiet and peaceful. With wildlife around it felt like we were far far away from the busy life. Sally has been an awesome host and she took care of tiny things that we had requested for. Highly recommend this place for family holidays.

The Soap Cottage Langwarren
Sally was a great host during our stay, responsive to all our needs and queries. The cottage itself was very comfortable, cosy and homely. The dormitory was a great option for the three young teenage girls in our party. The Soap House was a bonus. The girls enjoyed the swimming pool. STAYZ needs to very clear about hidden costs, not specificied until my original booking was confirmed.
