Portacot and highchair: Both are available upon request. For safety and hygiene reasons, we do not provide sheets or a mattress for the portacot. This is due to the sensitive nature of babies` precious skin and the detergents often used by large commercial laundries to clean them.

However, these cots come with a padded mat for the base. Portacot Rental: 80 AUD

Important Property Notes & Expectations:

Coastal Environment & Natural Wear
- Our building is a classic 50-year-old beachfront structure. Please be aware that the salt-rich ocean air causes natural oxidation and surface discoloration on metallic fixtures. While we clean and treat these items regularly, some cosmetic `patina` is a standard characteristic of direct oceanfront living.

Vintage Window Shutters
- The living room features original shutters that add to the home’s coastal charm. They are fully functional; however, due to their age, some individual louvers may require manual adjustment to achieve your preferred level of light or privacy.

Beachfront Cleanliness
- We pride ourselves on a high standard of cleanliness, and our team performs a professional vacuum and mop prior to every check-in. Because we are located directly on the sand, it is common for amounts of sea-salt or sand or dust to find their way into corners or crevices shortly after cleaning.

Booking Acknowledgment
- We love the authentic, weathered beauty of our beachfront location. By booking, you acknowledge these unique characteristics of a vintage coastal property.
