The fire pit is located just to the north of the Pool House. Firewood is provided during the winter months, May to September. Remember to keep kids safe around the fire!

Bencluna is set amongst beautiful surroundings, which many creatures also call home. These creatures may include snakes, spiders, lizards, bats, possums, bandicoots, and koalas, etc. Please be aware of these animals and respect their surroundings. Do not leave any food outside, do not leave rubbish bags outdoors, and do not throw scraps in the immediate gardens around the house. If you do happen to come across a snake or have a specific issue regarding the wildlife, please do not hesitate to give us a call so we can book an appropriate contractor.

*Snakes are at their most active in late September through to November, please exercise caution. Watch where you walk and keep an eye on your children.

From time to time, the BBQ LPG gas bottles will need to be switched over.

Bottles are located in the BBQ cabinet.

Pets are unfortunately not welcome at Bencluna.

We are undertaking rainforest regeneration aimed at increasing the biodiversity of the property.

Please remove all your rubbish from the house when you leave. The wheelie bins are kept at the bottom of the driveway near the Bencluna signs. Please ensure that you tie the tops of your bin bags to help eliminate odours and keep vermin and rodents to a minimum.

Bin collection day is Wednesday. There is also a recycling bin for empty plastic bottles, cardboard and glass.

Bencluna has a strict no flame policy, meaning candles and other naked flames are not permitted inside the house. We supply a range of 'Smart Candles' (www.smart-candle.com) LED candles which can be switched on at the base and charged under the stairs.

Smoking is not permitted in or around the house. Please ensure that any cigarette butts are fully extinguished and disposed of in the designated bin. Do not throw butts in the garden, on the ground or under the house. This is not only due to aesthetic reasons but also to fire safety.
