Tingalpa Townhouse Treat

I stayed with my 2x older teens and the property felt like a home. The host provided excellent communication and guidance leading up to our arrival. Entry was easy. The kitchen equipment supplied was more than adequate and the effort made to show care and consideration to make us feel welcome was evident. The variety of bathroom supplies were also impressive. The items supplied coupled with a quick stop for a few pre-ordered groceries prior to arrival made our initial settling in comfortable and hassle-free. I loved the convenience of the two bathrooms upstairs and additional toilet downstairs. The property hosts a good variety of books and games. The pool open to use by all residents in the complex is great with a good sized elevated shallow section for younger kids to enjoy. The neighbourhood is very quiet - I only heard a small group of people talking through my open ensuite window once in the 9 days we were there. The couple of neighbours we did meet in the pool were respectfully friendly.

No complaints, just a few helpful points to consider if you're heat/noise sensitive, or planning a longer stay, particularly with small children. The two bathrooms upstairs are both shower/toilet, no bathtub. The bedrooms upstairs are not air conditioned and I'm very sensitive to heat, so it was a relief that opening the windows overnight, blinds down and open enough to allow cooler night air flow from outside and the fan going, I was able to enjoy good sleep. The area is quiet, however for anyone sensitive to noise you can hear light traffic on the nearby reasonably main road with the windows open at night - personally I found this to be pleasant "white" noise. The air conditioner in the downstairs kitchen/living area was incredibly appreciated as our stay was across a humid summer week in January. For a stay long enough to warrant clothes washing, the washing machine was excellent in function and size, however there is only a small indoor clothes airer for rainy periods. The outside clothes line is a great size and we had adequate sunny days, so I didn't need to look for a laundromat nearby for a clothes dryer - but this would be good preparation if rain is expected.

Well equipped home, instantly feels homely. Perfect location, quick access to city and beach nearby.

Location was perfect

That it was clean and tidy, warm family townhouse

The second bedroom bed was so uncomfortable and making squeaky noises very time you moved hard to sleep.
