Other things to note
The ground floor of this two-story home is fully accessible to people with mobility limitations (a portable ramp to access the outdoor deck, and so the home, is available on request). However, the 1st floor can only be accessed by climbing a flight of stairs (indoors or outdoors). Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lounge room and the outdoor kitchen, pool and an outdoor dining setting are all located downstairs.

The home has a security alarm system. There are 3 movement sensors (the small boxes near the ceiling) in the home. These do not take images, they only detect movement within the home when the alarm is activated. The alarm is deactivated during guest visits.

There is a front door intercom camera system that connects to the upstairs consol near the air-conditioning control area. Again this does not record anything- it functions like a front door peephole, so people upstairs can check who is ringing the doorbell.
