Other Things to Note:

Please read and respect the house rules. This is very much appreciated, thank you!



As the house is located in a residential area and the neighbours are close by, we ask guests to please come in from the balcony after 10pm on weeknights as loud conversations travel directly into the neighbours' house.



This is a high-set Queenslander, there is a set of steps to climb to the front and the back of the home. No barriers or gates for children will be provided, we advise parents to supervise young children at all times or ask our host if you are unsure if this home is suitable for you.



There is plenty of free parking directly outside the front of the home on the side of the road, or you can park your car in the driveway, within the gates.



There are no other occupants/residents that live in this property or downstairs.
