For the ultimate family retreat in Brisbane – look no further! We can’t wait to welcome you and the family. The Space: Crisp white interiors, plush furnishing and a mix of wooden floorboards and tiles throughout the home. 5 substantial bedrooms, kids play room, separate office, 3 bathrooms and 2 separate living areas make this home ideal for 10 guests, and there are endless opportunities to relax, work from home, spend time together, or unwind privately. Each room has a built-in robe, including a master bedroom with impressive ensuite and private access to the back deck.

Key Features: • Peaceful neighbourhood – lush surrounds • Glass fenced huge swimming pool • Outdoor entertainment area with built-in BBQ for alfresco dining downstairs • Enormous outdoor tiled deck upstairs • Unique indoor family room with billiards table • Outdoor and indoor kids play rooms! • Double lock up garage • Private master suite with direct access to deck (overlooking pool area) • Work from home office set-up • Ceiling fans and ducted air-conditioning for perfect climate control • Open space indoor/outdoor blended living • 5 beautiful bedrooms • Plentiful storage • Grassy areas for children/pets to play • Modern amenities and contemporary feel Guest Access: Guests will have access to the entire home. There is parking available on the driveway plus access to the double lockup garage. No parking on the curb outside the neighbours please. The Neighborhood: The house is located in Carina, which is a part of the 4152 postcode. East of Brisbane CBD by 5km geographically. Only a short 250-metre stroll down to the corner shop complex where you can buy groceries from MegaFresh SPAR, fresh baked goods from the bakery and a host of other shops including a bottle shop. A picturesque neighbourhood only a stone’s throw from all that Brisbane has to offer. Getting Around: The city is a 15-minute drive away (not incl. peak hour) with Uber or a Taxi being quick and cheap ways to get around although there is a bus stop right around the corner. Geographically 5km from Brisbane City, 7km from Southbank and South Brisbane. Other Things to Note: \*\*Important Information before booking\*\* \- Some baby & children’s amenities are available upon request only \- We may ask for a copy of government ID for the person whose name is on the booking \- Please respect “no loud noises after 9pm”. This is non-negotiable, and this is not the home for anyone planning a rowdy weekend away – We like our neighbours :) Upon booking, you are agreeing to these requirements. Interaction with Guests: We are available for questions any time but we also like to leave guests to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere so if everything is going well during your stay then you might not hear from us all that much. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
