Our top priority is for you to have a safe and memorable time staying in our home!

Please make sure you have read (and agree to) ALL the House Rules below before proceeding with your booking:

- Check-in time is after 3pm. Check-out time is by 11am. Unfortunately at this time we cannot guarantee early check-in or late checkout requests due to the extra cleaning required between guests for COVID safety.

- Please make sure you have selected the correct number of guests before confirming your reservation. Bed linen and towels are supplied for the number of booked guests only.

- Children over 12 months old are considered a "child" not an "infant". This is due to additional cleaning and linen costs and the extra wear and tear of toddlers vs babies. If your child is over 12 months of age, please add them to the booking as "child" when entering guest numbers.

- Only guests on the reservation are allowed on the property at any time. If extra guests or pets are found to be staying on the property, or if a noise complaint is made by neighbours, you may be asked to leave immediately with NO REFUND.

- Strictly NO parties, events or gatherings of any kind allowed without prior written permission from the owners/managers. This is a place for small groups, families, couples or solo travellers to enjoy a quiet stay of rest and relaxation.

- No shoes inside the home please.

- Sorry, strictly NO pets allowed for the safety and comfort of guests with severe pet allergies.

- To respect our neighbours, we ask you to please be mindful of your noise levels before 8am and after 10pm - especially outdoors on the deck.

- Please note the house is located in a residential area. Loud noise, music, shouting, etc. after 10pm on weeknights (or midnight on weekends) will likely result in the neighbours making a noise complaint to the police. You may be asked to leave immediately with NO REFUND.

- Please clean the BBQ after use. An extra cleaning fee of $100 will be deducted from your security deposit if the BBQ is not cleaned.

- Strictly NO smoking indoors. If you wish to smoke outdoors please place all cigarette butts in the red bin outside. Please do not throw cigarette butts in the gardens or put in any of the indoor bins.

- Please remember Airbnb is a community and you are staying in someone's much-loved family home, not a hotel or a hostel. With this in mind, please treat the space with respect and leave it as you found it - dishes washed or placed in dishwasher and turned ON, surfaces clean, all rubbish disposed of in outdoor bins, furniture returned if moved, coasters and placemats used to protect the furniture, and items such as toys, puzzles, games and books packed away.

- Should you leave the property in a state that requires additional cleaning beyond the cleaners normal time/fees, this cost will be deducted from your security deposit.

Thankyou for taking the time to read through our House Rules. We appreciate your kindness and consideration. :)
