THE LOCATION Carine is a pleasant and green residential neighborhood. The home is directly opposite a small park; four minutes down the road is yet another park with playground equipment. It is only a short 7 minute walk to the massive Carine Open Space. This park has many kilometres of walking paths where you will meet families, cyclists, birds, joggers and many friendly dogs. On the weekends you can watch games of cricket, AFL football, soccer or baseball, depending on the season, or meet the horses at the Riding for Disabled facility. It's a six minute drive to Perth's fantastic beaches. Nearby is Carine Glades Shopping Centre, and it is only slightly further to the large centres of Karrinyup and Warwick. Karrinyup Private Golf club is a few minutes away by car; the Hamersley public course is 8 minutes away. Reid Highway and the Mitchell Freeway to the city are quickly accessible. GETTING AROUND The home is within walking distance of the Warwick train/bus station (about 18 mins). The train gets you to Perth city in 15 mins or to Joondalup in 12 mins. For an adventure, take the train to Mandurah and back - it's 1hr 10m one way. The 423 bus takes you to Hillarys Boat Harbour and its great shops and eating places (or you can drive in 13 mins). Hillarys is also a departure point for ferries to Rottnest Island. Parking at the home can accommodate 3 cars. The lockable garage accepts small to medium cars only, otherwise you can park next to the front door. SAFETY There are external sensor activated lights for your security and convenience. Inside there are two smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher, plus a fire blanket in the kitchen. TERMS When making a booking, infants who will be using our cots (or a cot you provide) do not have to be counted as extra children, although you should advise us in text when making a booking or an inquiry. Otherwise "children" are people under the age of 16. Note - bookings for more than 6 persons older than 2 y.o. will not be accepted. We have 4 beds with 6 bed spaces and will not approve persons sleeping outside the bedrooms. Late night check-ins are not a problem. Early check-in may be able to be arranged if there were no guests the previous night. Checkout is officially 10AM, but if no guests are coming that night you will be able to make this a bit later. Pets are normally allowed, but this will require approval from the owners prior to booking confirmation. When booking or inquiring please supply some details about the pets. If pets stay you may be charged an additional fee for pet cleaning - there is a check box on the booking page. Pets will be expected to mostly stay outside the home, unless otherwise agreed. Please respect the property and the other people in the area - as always treat others as you would expect to be treated yourself! The house is not to be used for parties, events or gatherings without the prior express approval of the owners, and loud noises should not be made after 10PM. Also note there is no smoking inside the residence.
