Turn right and you can walk to the quieter part of the beach where people usually walk their dogs. There is no parking area available for your car.

WIFI:
Unfortunately we do not have WiFi at the property.

SHOPS / RESTAURANTS:
Tinley Manor is a very small and quiet little town. It offers one Indian Restaurant and two tea rooms. Your grocery shopping would have to be done in Salt Rock (Tiffany Centre abt 5kms from Tinley) Ballito or Stanger which are approx. 10 kms from Tinley.

DSTV:
Please bring your own decoder and card if you would like DSTV.

PETS:
Your pets are welcome. The property is partially walled and partially fenced so even small dogs should be safe at the top living/ outside area. Please do take note that the top area is mainly tiled and not big enough for larger dogs to be comfortable in over a longer period of time as they would not have enough space to run around in. Please kindly keep all pets off the beds and furniture.

ITEMS PROVIDED:
The house has 3 bedrooms and is equipped with basics for 6 people (bedding, chairs, crockery, cutlery etc.) Should you have people visiting during you stay, please keep in mind that you would need to bring your own additional items. Please note that there is no washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher at the house. You are welcome to ask the caretaker to do your dishes / washing / ironing during your stay and pay her directly. Air-conditioners are available but only in the bedrooms. The main Air-conditioner in the lounge is out of order.

ITEMS OF PERSONAL USE:
Such a beach towels, bath towels, toiletries, toilet paper, tea/coffee etc. are not provided.

CLEANING AND COOKING:
Included in the rate is a basic daily servicing of the house between 9am and 12pm.
Should you wish for Precious to wash or iron your clothes or work longer hours, you can arrange above with her directly and pay her an hourly rate of R 30.00. She is a fantastic cook and great with children as well.

HOUSE RULES:
Please note that the caretaker has to be allowed daily access to the house between 9AM and 12PM We do not allow functions or loud music as this would disturb the neighbours. A maximum of 8 people are permitted to sleep at the house and a maximum of an additional 2 day visitors at any given time.

JACUZZI
The Jacuzzi is to be filled/ emptied by the caretaker. Due to the current drought we are experiencing in KZN, the Jacuzzi water can only be replaced every 5th day. Very sorry for the inconvenience! No bath products or sunlight soap are allowed in the Jacuzzi. The heater and jets can run for 4 hours at a time (2 hours break in between).
During the cooler months (April – October), when the water and ambient temperature is below 22 degrees, the water will not heat up sufficiently for use. Please keep this in mind as we know that the Jacuzzi is a drawing card for tenants and we would like to avoid disappointment.

SECURITY:
All though we have been lucky enough to not have had any security issues we would still recommend you lock up the house before you go to the beach and park your cars in the garage at night. If you have any visitors and therefore more than 2 cars, please park close to the wall so the car is not visible from the road.

ELDERLY OR DISABLED:
This property is on a hill and therefore has stairs inside the house to get from the garage to the main living area as well as a very steep driveway. Unfortunately it is not suitable for elderly people who are not able to climb stairs or people in wheelchairs.
