Additional rules
Please let me know the approximate time of your arrival and departure. ***I ask all guests to contact me with their choice when making the booking: Since I do not charge a cleaning fee and to make it easier to clean for our cleaners, please wash and put away all plates, utensils and cutlery, do a light sweep of floor (broom etc next to fridge) and tidy up before you check out. No need to make the bed or remove bedding. If you prefer not to do so, please agree to an extra cleaning fee of $30.
Fees for early check in are: before 10am - $50; 10-11am $40; 11am-12pm - $30; 12-2pm - $20.
Fees for late check out are: 11am-12pm - $30; 12 - 1 pm $40; 1 - 2pm - $50; 2pm-3pm - $60.
The airbnb is usually heavily booked, which means there are guests leaving or arriving on most days of the month. Please, discuss any requests for early or late check in with the host as other guests currently staying, may be already booked for some of these time slots.
Guests with pets - IMPORTANT - Only house trained pets will be permitted. Please, notify the host if bringing pets whether they are house trained as soon as you can. You as owner, must confirm that your pet/s will not sit on the bed or furniture. Guests must bring ALL the required items, such as bedding and towels for their pets and must NOT use any of studio's towels. It is a good idea to bring a towel to wipe your pet in case of rain. Ensure that pets never sit on the couch or bed. It is crucial that all dog poo is removed from the garden to the big rubbish bin (red lid) in front of the house. Please, make sure that your dog does not get anxious and bark all the time if left alone.

IMPORTANT: All guests are requested to do a light clean of the floor before check-out, especially areas where your pet (if you have one) had slept and remove dog/cat hair. There is a broom and a mop next to the fridge. ALTERNATELY, GUESTS CAN PAY AN EXTRA CLEANING FEE OF $30. Your light cleaning helps our cleaning to be done within 1 hour and to be able to keep this airbnb without extra cleaning fees. YOUR LIGHT CLEANING STILL REQUIRES THE AIRBNB TO BE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AFTER EVERY GUEST. Additional guests above 2 are charged an extra guest fee of $30 AUD per person, per night.


The huge backyard has a beautiful creek surrounded by ferns. Many native birds visit the garden and studio balcony and even an occasional lyrebird by the creek. Great for birdwatching. During the day, the garden is visited by many birds that land on studio's balcony - many species of parrots and lorikeets, kookaburras, native pigeons, bowerbirds, etc. Many parrots are quite unafraid of people and can even land on your hand!
