Guests do not have access to the backyard (via the side gate) or the granny flat at the rear of the property as your host live on-site & we have our own access from Edgeworth St. Rest assured that you have total privacy during your stay.
PARKING: There is no undercover or off street parking. When parking near the property do not park in front of the neighbour's houses.

Other things to note
DISHWASHER USE: When the dishwasher is in use, this will interfere with the hot water of the shower. It is advised to use the glass cycle and not the eco cycle as this runs for 2.5hrs.
BATHROOM FLOOR: When the tile in the bathroom is wet it is very slippery. Use the bath mat provided when using the shower.
3RD BEDROOM: The 3rd bedroom is not attached to the main house and is a Private self contained Studio with kitchenette & bathroom/shower.
When the bathroom light is switched on the ceiling exhaust fan goes on and cause's a small vacuum in the room making the door harder to open.
There is no sink in the bathroom, however the sink is at the kitchenette. The wardrobes in the Studio are locked off to store household items: cleaning supplies/linen & equipment, maintenance tools, etc. Do not force these doors open.
ECO-FRIENDLY: This property practices eco-friendly initiatives & does not use single-use plastics. we provide a microfibre towel (instead of paper towel), soap/shampoo/conditioner are in pump pack bottles. We do not provide paper towel in the kitchen.
LINEN: All linen is line dried in the sun to minimise the large amount of energy required in using dryers. This helps protect the environment, if your towels are not as fluffy as you desire you may throw them in the dryer for 2 mins.
CESSNOCK: Cessnock is a country town which is quickly developing, however like any Australian suburb it still has it's share of the unemployed, homeless, drug addicted, youth, and criminals. Always be aware of your surroundings when walking home at night.
NEIGHBOURS & NOISE: The house is nestled closely between 2 x private residence and our neighbour's live in their properties permanently. Guests must be advised that they will hear lawn mowing, use of a whipper snipper, barking dogs, dirk bikes & general neighbourhood activities.
