NATURE AND LOCAL WILDLIFE:
Our home is located on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, surrounded by nature and native bushland. While we thoroughly clean and maintain the property, and take measures to keep insects out, it's possible that you may encounter a fly, mosquito, spider, or other small bug during your stay — especially in warmer months or if windows and doors are left open.

This is a normal part of staying in a natural environment, and sightings of bugs are not grounds for a refund.
Thank you for your understanding and respect for the natural beauty that surrounds the home!
