Other things to note
The ground floor of this two-story home is fully accessible to people with mobility limitations (a portable ramp to access the outdoor deck, and so the home, is available on request). However, the 1st floor can only be accessed by climbing a flight of stairs (indoors or outdoors). Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lounge room and the outdoor kitchen, pool and an outdoor dining setting are all located downstairs.

The home has a security alarm system. There are 3 movement sensors (the small boxes near the ceiling) in the home. These do not take images, they only detect movement within the home when the alarm is activated. The alarm is deactivated during guest visits.

There is a front door intercom camera system that connects to the upstairs consol near the air-conditioning control area. Again this does not record anything- it functions like a front door peephole, so people upstairs can check who is ringing the doorbell.

The final touches

A lot of places you look at might have everything listed here but not in the same way.The art, appliances, furniture and rooms are all individualised and luxurious. Being greeted with a mural of rosellas on the outside wall, the reclaimed timber decking and built in speakers for both downstairs and upstairs are executive in a way that can't be expressed.Communication with Karen was perfect and well timed. It felt as if-if there was any issues she would help us out, thankfully there were none, She was a perfect host.This house has all those great final touches that make it really hard to leave when you're on holiday and for that im giving it 5 stars.

Made for a relaxing weekend!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. It was well laid out with enough space for all of us. We walked in to freshly made granola (yum) and bread. The hosts Karen and Cameron were amazing, even so that during our stay there was a big storm where power was cut to the area (at no fault of the house) and upon advising Karen, they were over with candles and torches within the hour which we thought was so lovely.Further to this, they provide a lot of things that you wouldnt even think of that we used during our stay, it was so nice.Their intentions are clearly for us to have a relaxing time, and we did. The amentities were great, we used the bbq, the arcase game was awesome and the pool was the highlight!!We even were able to bring our dog which we love so much, and I had confort knowing the backyard is secure and dog friendly. They even had bowls, pet bed and toys to use! Thanks again for having us. We highly recommend.
