As part of your booking you pay a one off cleaning/service fee that includes what we have at the property as a starter package of essentials. This is NOT a serviced apartment so only the starter amount is supplied. As a courtesy to guests staying longer than 10 days we do offer a complimentary "Quicky" clean once a week to do the change of sheets the bathroom and the floors for you. This clean DOES NOT INCLUDED ESSENCIAL TOP UPS we will arrange with guests the weekly day and time
Bathroom is very small in fact tiny and straight from the 1960's. as it was the original "outhouse", So very tiny. Shower is not step free you do need to step over a 100mm hob.
We are on septic so no tissues paper towels wipes or sanitary products or anything that says flush-able to be flushed down the toilet - Kitchen sink the strainer must be used no food scraps egg shells or coffee grinds or oils to go down the sink
Front patio area you can enjoy the Cape Cod chairs relax a again enjoy the ocean breeze and sound (this area is not fenced for dogs)
Back patio area is now covered with shade blinds for the intense afternoon sun it has outdoor seating and dinning for 4. Relax and enjoy while your puppies play in the fenced small yard.
Fencing and Yard - is small however ok for most dogs depending on what they are use to however most thinks it great for their holidays. Dog Wire fencing please see images for dimensions Fence height 1150mm
bottom 2 sections 120mm and 140mm x 150mm tampering up to the largest sections at the top of 230mm x 150mm standard dog wire fencing
Fencing and Yard - Only a small area with dog wire (with a layer of chicken wire also). Again please read the listing photos for size and height and space of dog wire. There is more than likely to be dogs on holiday in the unit next door - As it is only dog wire it is not secure for escape artist dogs. If you dog is likely to try to escape or try to go next door then this would not be the property for you.
Bugs - Yes we have them and welcome to coastal central Qld - Mozzie sand-flies and midges can be found in this area through the year so please bring what you need. They love to eat Sue and we do have mozzie coils and spays for guests use.
The neighbor has a bee hive. The bees keep to themselves and do bee stuff in the local flowers however for those with allergies we want to let you know
Fur Babies
As fur baby lovers ourselves, the enjoyment and safety of your treasured family member whilst on holidays is of the upmost importance to us.
We do allow your fur baby inside, as we believe they like to 'hang' with you, as much as you do with them!
We prefer that dogs don't go on the furniture, however we understand that some dogs are very accustomed to 'couch time'.
If the finer things in life are more their style, we ask that you use the dog blankets provided.
We really appreciate guests who bring their own dog towels and throws to protect our furniture, as it saves us a lot of time spent washing linen. It also helps preserve our furniture and keeps it clean for future guests.
If you must sleep with your dog you MUST bring your own linen and tell us in advance.
Yards much be checked and cleaned daily for Puppy Poo's and double check the yards to be cleaned at the time of checkout
We are accepting of well behaved children aged 6yo+ (as we feel the small inside steps between new and old sections of the duplex, along with no child safety installed on furniture electrical or cupboards it is a little unsafe for those any younger). Children would l be required to share a Queen bed.
(Please see the House Rules for further expectations, regarding traveling to our beach house with children).
Sorry - smokers are not permitted at our property.
Strictly No Smoking anywhere!
We are in a area the on occasion has sand flies and Midge's so please be mindful of time you go outside if these types of bugs like myself find you tasty.
Parking - Off street - uncovered - however there is a covered carport at the back of the property that you are welcome to use. We do ask that in the case of a storm you share this area with our valued guests next door should they also need to shelter their car.

COVID CANCELATION POLICY
Again thank you for your interest in our beach home
As you are no doubt aware, small businesses have been significantly impacted over the past 18mths, as a result of Covid restrictions.
Like many other Australians, Airbnb hosts have incurred significant financial losses as a result.
Consequently, we are currently not accepting bookings from interstate guests who may be subjected to snap lockdowns and border closures in the present climate.
We will gratefully accept bookings from Qld guests and in the event of local Covid lockdowns, we will do our best to move the impacted guests to another date - or offer a refund where possible.
In these incredibly unprecedented and difficult times, Airbnb hosts are working hard to continue to provided ‘homes away from home’, so that guests can travel, as desired.
As small businesses though, we must do what we can to minimize future potential losses …at least in the interim
Thank you so much for your understanding.
