All guests and tenants are expected to behave respectfully and considerately towards others. The following are strictly prohibited:
- Loud music, shouting, screaming, or disruptive behaviour
- Alcohol-induced noise or unruly gatherings
- Neglectful supervision of children causing disturbances
Quiet enjoyment of the property by all residents is a condition of stay. Persistent noise or misconduct will result in eviction without refund.

The above numbers include both adults and children. Overcrowding is not permitted under any circumstances.
5. Alcohol Policy
Coppins Cove prides itself on being an exclusive, family-friendly destination. Alcohol-related incidents, excessive intoxication, or disorderly conduct will not be tolerated. Breaches of this rule may result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of any payments or deposits.
6. Common Facilities
The following areas and items are considered shared facilities: gardens, garages, washing lines, and the dustbin courtyard. Please treat all communal areas with respect and consideration for other guests.
a. Gardens and Braai Areas
- The gardens and pathways are for shared enjoyment. Please respect the private areas in front of other units.
- Children should be supervised at all times.
- Store garden furniture and braai equipment under cover at night.
- Do not discard old coals in the garden – place them in a bag and dispose of them in the dustbin courtyard.
- Do not feed wildlife or leave food outside; it attracts pests and snakes.
- Smokers must dispose of cigarette butts responsibly and not in garden areas.
b. Water Usage
External showers and taps are available. Please use water sparingly and ensure taps are turned off properly after use.
c. Garages
- Washing lines provided in garages are limited – no additional lines may be installed.
- Garages may not be used for general storage or trailers.

A central washing courtyard is provided. No washing may be displayed on balconies or garden furniture (except beach towels).
e. Dustbin Courtyard
- Dispose of all waste in the provided dustbins and ensure lids are securely closed.
- Do not leave refuse bags on the ground – monkeys frequently overturn bins.
- If bins are full, securely wrap your rubbish and place it in the external tip container located in the general parking area opposite Coppins Cove.
7. Breakage Deposit
A refundable breakage deposit is required and is held by the letting or managing agent. The deposit covers the cost of replacing or repairing any missing or damaged items within the unit during your stay.

- The letting agent will supply replacement items that match the existing inventory.
- The deposit will be refunded after departure once the inspection has confirmed that no damage or losses occurred.
