We strive for a high energy rating and sustainability rating which is important to Kangaroo islands green earth policy. We also find our guests prefer their  own brand of toiletries, so we supply toilet paper and hand soap, laundry products, and kitchen dishwasher and cleaning products.

Can I bring my Pets?

Unfortunately, no pets are allowed at White Sands or White Shells. This policy is implemented due to wildlife around property and no fencing.  However, if you wish to bring your pet both White Pebbles and Sabine’s place are pet friendly with good fencing. White pebbles has a fenced koala access  zone at the rear of the property for safe passage into one of their favourite trees. There is extra charge for each pet to cover extra cleaning. There is  separate Pet addendum to be completed.

What is security Deposit For?

The security deposit is a payment made in advance and held during your stay in case there is any damage, breakages or cleaning required at the end of  your stay beyond what would be considered reasonable. It has been very rare that we need to claim on a guest’s deposit because most are very  considerate and take care of the properties, but accidents do happen.

What is the cancelation policy?

Full refund for cancellations up to 30 days before check-in. If booked fewer than 30 days before check-in, full refund for cancellations made within 48  hours of booking and at least 14 days before check-in. After that, 50% refund up to 7 days before check-in. No refund after that.

What does the cleaning charge cover?

The cleaning charge covers standard, routine cleaning of the house and washing of all linen following your stay. On departure we ask guests to leave the  house neat and tidy with dishwasher having been run and emptied, and rubbish bags placed in the designated rubbish disposal areas for the building.  Our ability to allow extra time for the cleaning following being advised by guests can really mitigate any additional costs for you. Please clean BBQ after  use while still hot as it is so much easier than a cold BBQ.

Do we have to clean the property at the end of our stay?

No, don’t worry, we don’t expect you to clean but guests should be aware one of the ways booking sites asks us to review guests is on the cleanliness of a  property after a stay. For us to give a guest a five-star top rating we would expect everything to be put back where you found it at the start of your stay,  replace any finished pantry items, the dishwasher having been run and emptied and the house left neat and tidy. You do not need to strip beds, please  leave towels on towel rails. Most guests see these things as a simple common courtesy they would do if they were staying in anyone’s home as a visitor. Leave it as you found it.
