Good to know

Ascend the stairs and step into Lisieux, a charming retreat designed for comfort and relaxation. As you walk down the hallway, you'll be welcomed into the open-plan living, dining, and sitting areas, where the vintage style and functionality blend seamlessly. The living room features a couch and a TV, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. With its elegant table, the dining area invites you to enjoy leisurely meals and quality time with loved ones. One of the home's highlights is the private sitting area, offering breathtaking beach sunsets—our absolute favourite spot. Further along the hallway, you’ll find three well-appointed bedrooms accommodating up to six guests. For your convenience, the apartment includes a bathroom with a bathtub and an overhead shower, as well as a washing machine and dryer. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need, including a microwave, oven and stove, so you can easily prepare meals to enjoy at the elegant dining table. Adjacent to the kitchen, a dedicated sitting area with a study desk and chair provides a quiet workspace for travellers who need to stay connected. Step outside onto the balcony, where you can enjoy alfresco dining with a BBQ, outdoor table, and seating area. Guests also have access to a fully fenced, secure backyard. Enjoy the convenience of having a supermarket nearby and light rail access for a direct route to the CBD. With its charming vintage furnishings, Lisieux offers a luxurious yet cozy home away from home. The house is in a residential street with surrounding permanent tenants, so we only rent to mature guests who will remain respectful to our neighbours. The house will be used for relaxation-style holidaying; loud parties are prohibited.

SECURITY CAMERAS There are external cameras located at the front and rear exit doors. NO PARKING While there is no parking advertised, there is a 4 hour free parking area on Beaconsfield Parade which some guests choose to use, subject to availability. There is also access via a roller door from Ashworth Street. Please note that this access can be difficult to manage, particularly for larger vehicles, and the roller door must be manually lifted. We generally only recommend this option for guests who are confident using manual access and ideally have two people available to assist. As the access can be challenging, we do not advertise it as a standard parking option and cannot guarantee it will be suitable for every guest or vehicle.
