Three Mile Beach FAQs
What's in your beach house
What's included in the kitchen?
All our beach houses have a full-size oven and microwave, hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer, wine fridge and a washer/dryer.
All our beach shacks have an Everhot oven, a microwave oven, fridge freezer and a washer/dryer.
Do we need to bring cleaning products?

Are toiletries supplied?
Yes. We've sourced some of our favourites and made sure your house is well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand wash and hand lotion.
How do the items in the house work?
The beach houses are equipped with several features that might be new to some guests. We have a "Good to Know" manual in each house, a printed copy as well as a PDF version on the in-house tablet, please refer to that when you arrive for detailed instructions. Some common FAQs are:
- Light controls - some lights are dimmable and some are not. There is a master 'off' switch next to the front door.
- Velux controls - some are opened manually and some electronically. Bedroom velux windows have electronically controlled blinds, kitchen and living room velux windows do not.
- Filtered drinking water - every house has a water filter built in to the kitchen sink tap.
- Bluetooth music - each house has a Bluetooth speaker which can connect to personal electronic devices as well as the TV in the house.
- Bedroom windows - both the round and square bedroom windows can open to allow airflow.
- Living room bifold doors - these all open to create a great connection to the decking space but the handles need to be opened in the right order
- Hot tubs - are always on although might not be 100% up to temperature on arrival day as they are cleaned & refilled for each arrival.
- Saunas - need to be switched on manually before use.
- Central heating - is all underfloor and set prior to arrival. Speak to someone at HQ if you'd like the temperature adjusting.
- BBQs - are self lighting starting from the right hand side burner, no need for a fire lighter

Each house has a dedicated fibre-to-the-property super-fast connection. The name of the network will match your beach house and the password will be in the "Good to Know" manual and on a small sign in the kitchen of each house.
