Good to know

Pets are allowed but our backyard is not 100% fully fenced. Shouldn't be a problem if your furry friend isn't an escape artist or have that demeanor as it is just a hole under the gate but still not 100% fully fenced nonetheless. We don't rent to students group and will not allow for parties nor schoolies. We don't rent to parents who book for their children to stay, which violates the insurance which protects our guests. ** PLEASE NOTE: if guests get locked out of the apartment, we may be able to help with spare key but we will have to charge a service fee for the time and delivery (pending availability and distance). After 8 pm and on the weekend, rates may go up. If we are not able to help, it will be the guest’s responsibility to call a locksmith at their own cost. ** Lost key penalty - $300 ** We aren't able to provide firewood for guests so it will be guest's responsibility to supply to their own needs **
