There is off street parking at the top of our driveway, however many of our guests prefer to park in the Cul-de-Sac opposite. Our drive is steep and has a curve to it. Parking will require a 3 point turn and we ask our guests to park as close to the sandstone wall as possible facing back down the driveway. If you do plan to attempt our drive :) we ask that you please advise us so we can make sure we leave appropriate space at the top for you Our guests will also find plenty of street parking in Yarrabee Close which is located adjacent to our driveway. With prior arrangement we offer to drive our guests with luggage up the drive should they wish. Your accommodation is on the lower level but totally separate from our family home. Entry to our second Airbnb is located adjacent to your door. This is ideal for larger groups and for families. We are a busy family that enjoys life with 3 grown children (not all here at once anymore :)) and 3 Miniature Schnauzers. We have taken every measure when building this flat to soundproof to minimise any noise transfer from above. There is a set of 11 steps from the driveway to the patio which provides entry to your room. There is keyless entry to the flat and a code will be provided to you in your welcome message before you arrive. We have also included the WIFI passcode for easy referral in the Welcome Message as well as checkin details so you will have easy access to this information upon arrival. The entry to our family home is from the same patio, through a separate door. If there is no one at home, we are most always available on the mobile for any queries. We encourage our guests to ring rather than text if an immediate response is required! Just ask if there is information we may have left out. We will look forward to meeting you and we wish you a very happy stay. Guest access Guests will have access to a large, private room with lounge area, kitchen, and separate entry. Guests are welcome to enjoy the sitting area on the patio outside of their accommodation for a bit of sun, to enjoy the view and the fresh air!

Many of our guests choose to park in the cul-de-sac of Yarrabee Close located across the road and get in their steps for the day! We are happy to assist you in getting your car up the drive if you wish. Please contact us beforehand so we can organise a time that is suitable. We DO have 3 Miniature Schnauzers who often herald the arrival of guests. They do not shed and they do NOT spend time in the Airbnb accommodation. We usually keep a gate at the top of our stairs so they cannot reach the entry foyer as the dogs stay more calm if they cannot see our guests when they arrive. We are currently creating a second Airbnb space adjacent to the current listing. This space is not yet completed but WILL offer full cooking facilities. The major building work has been completed, however there may be painting and finishing work being done between 10 am and 3 pm. We are happy to accomodate our guests if they would like to alter those hours. Please be aware that there is no fly screen in our place. About Pests Please wash your dishes and take out the trash to the outdoor bins quickly. Pests like roaches and spiders are a part of nature in our area. Even though we keep things clean, you might still see them sometimes, especially if there are food leftovers or dirty dishes. If you cannot accept this, please do not make a reservation.
