Due to the relatively isolated nature of Seal Rocks, power outages occur more frequently than in urban areas. There is also poor mobile reception throughout Seal Rocks. While wifi is provided at Kurreki disruptions can be experienced. Television reception is not as reliable as in metropolitan areas and some channels are unavailable. All of these issues are beyond the control of the owners/managers. There will be no refunds or discounts deducted from tariffs for unusable appliances awaiting repair.

iii) Every attempt is made to supply the property with adequate and suitable crockery and utensils. Acrylic wine glasses are available at Kurreki (due to excessive breakages in the past and glass being left in the dishwasher).
