*STRA Rules - By booking this home you automatically agree to all the STRA terms and conditions that are applicable to guests. You also agree that if you do break any of the house rules you will be asked to leave and no refund of the unused nightly rates will be returned.
*Check-in/Check-out - We cannot stress enough the importance of checking out on time. Our regular check-in time is after 3 pm and check-out time is before to 10 am. If you wish to have an earlier check-in or later check-out, please reach out to us first. Please note, there may be a charge.
*Changing of Dates Terms & Conditions
- Requests to change booking dates may only be accommodated if check-in is more than 1 month away.
- This is subject to approval and we reserve the right to decline any requests.
- Please note that there may be a surcharge to change the dates.
- Any changes to bookings are subject to approval and we ask all guests to reach out to us first.
THINGS TO KNOW

* We only provide 1 set of keys for each stay. We do not have extra sets.
*Please note, there is only an aircon unit in the living room. There are ceiling fans in all bedrooms.
*Building works will be taking place from September 2025 to March 2026. Scaffolding will be set up at the front of the building (near the mailboxes and car park entrance). This should not cause significant disruption, as the scaffolding will not cover the entire frontage at once. Instead, it will be installed in sections, with each section expected to remain for approximately 12–16 weeks, depending on the work required. Additionally, the apartment entry doors and door frames (exterior only) will also be painted. Work is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 15, and will continue for several weeks. Please note that during this period, workers may knock on your door to request it be opened briefly so they can complete the painting.
* Enjoy a seamless stay with our hassle-free airport pick-up and drop-off service, exclusively for guests booked to stay our homes. Contact us for rates and booking details!
