Cleaning:
● This is a self-catering facility, but for a lengthy stay we can gladly provide
you with a cleaning service by prior arrangement and at additional costs.
● Start-up cleaning materials and toilet paper are provided.
● The drains in Jacobsbaai are septic tanks, therefore, please use only
toilet paper in the toilets. Bins are provided for any other items that need
to be disposed of.

Safety, health, environment & security:
● This is a non-smoking facility, but you are welcome to smoke outside,
providing that you use a cigarette butt dispenser.
● The Jacobsbaai residential area is surrounded by Green Belts running
through the town. We ask that guests always respect the environment
and behave in a respectable not noisy way and not disturb
neighbours.
● Apart from a variety of small wild animals there are also snakes such as
Puffadders and Cape Cobras during the warmer season and it is therefore
advisable not to wander into the fynbos unattended. At certain times of
the year, such as the breeding season, ostriches could be dangerous too,
rather do not approach them at any time and give them right of way.
● Since the West Coast is an arid environment, the local communities
experience water restrictions from time to time, please help us by using
water responsibly.
● We should mention that even though Jacobsbaai is statistically a very low
crime area, caution should still be taken, and the premises be locked
when you are away.
● A medical practitioner is available in town but unfortunately not 24 hours
per day.
● Every effort is made to service and maintain all amenities, equipment, and
appliances to a fully operable and safe condition, and guests are
requested to use and operate all these in a responsible manner. Kindly
report any faulty conditions to the owners.

Pets:
● 1 Small pet can be accommodated but only on prior request.
