Neighborhood
Getting around the area
Scarness is the best combination of everything! There are shops, restaurants/cafes, the best beach in Hervey Bay, great fishing off the pier, parks, playgrounds, an awesome yoga school, walking and cycling tracks, and multiple fitness stations along the Esplanade. It has a relaxed, amiable vibe and never feels crowded. Our street is a quiet, peaceful place where the friendly neighbours all know and look out for each other. The nightly bat exodus goes right over our house, it's magnificent to watch! The larger Woolworths supermarket is approximately 1km away, and there is a smaller convenience store opposite the beach, 500m from our house. Not far from the Woolies is a Coles and Big W.

About This Space
A closer look at the stay
About
This quirky boho-chic older family home is located in a quiet, residential neighbourhood, central to everything with a 650 meter/four-minute walk to the beach, esplanade, parks, shops and restaurants.
The space
You will sleep like a baby on the Queen Tempur mattress in a generously-sized room on the bottom floor with your own Smart TV featuring Netflix and Amazon Prime, air conditioning, and your own mini fridge with fresh filtered water. You have exclusive use of your own bathroom which is on the first floor up the stairs. There is also a King Single bed in a room adjacent to the main room available for a third party if needed. This room has double-sided curtains separating its space from the hallway, and does nothing have air conditioning. There is a fan and it does stay much cooler than an average room.
The kitchen
We are a strictly vegan household. We do prefer no gluten, but understand if it creeps into a thing or two. We have a large kitchen with lots of counter space by way of three counters and two islands. You are free to use any of our appliances, though if it's your first time, I will probably supervise...! Appliances: Thermomix Vitamix Magimix Slow Cooker x 2 Bread Machine x 2 Juicer Spiraliser Dehydrator Toaster Kettle Stovetop Oven Dishwasher (thank goodness)

Guests are given keys to come and go as they please. The property is completely non-smoking. If you would like to smoke, thank you for doing so outside the boundaries of the property. First and foremost, this is our family home and our workplace. We heavily utilise our eating and living spaces. You have a mini-fridge in your room especially for your personal use, and within easy walking distance you can find restaurants, cafes, and places to picnic. Additionally, you have a smart TV and free wifi to make your stay as entertaining as you like in that regard. Please note that there is a combined bathroom/toilet for your exclusive use located on the first floor, across from our personal bedrooms and down the hall from our kitchen. The private room is located downstairs, and so is the other Airbnb room which is adjacent to this room. As this is an older house, part of its charm are the creaks and groans the house can make when making your way through it, please be aware that you will hear us when we are upstairs and moving around. The outside garage is currently being remodeled, so parts of the backyard patio are being used for the renovations. We love sharing our place with travellers, but please understand that living with kids means things may not be immaculate at all times. We keep the space clean, tidy, and hygienic, and we appreciate your patience if there's a stray toy here and there or things of that nature. We are a vegan household and humbly request that meals be eaten out of the house unless they are plant-based. The house is two city blocks to the beach with the Esplanade, restaurants, and cafes. You can spend the day adventuring in Hervey Bay or galavanting off to Fraser Island. We can book Fraser Island tours for you for no additional charge. If you would like assistance planning this part of your trip, you're more than welcome to contact us before booking your room so we can help you make the most of your time in the area. If there's any information that I've missed that you think should be in here, please let me know.
