The Amber House | Modern Family Retreat

Our Property

This Ormeau home is designed for the moments that happen between plans—slow breakfasts around the dining table, friendly competition in the pool room, and relaxed evenings stretched out on the sofa. Warm, contemporary interiors connect generous living spaces with comfortable bedrooms, a full kitchen and plenty of room to gather or unwind. A polished yet easygoing base for families, groups and longer stays between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Neighborhood

Neighborhood Quiet, established family suburb with mostly modern detached homes. Within a few minutes’ drive of Ormeau Village/Ormeau Marketplace (groceries, cafes, services) and smaller local shops. Several parks, sports fields and playgrounds nearby (Ormeau Sports Park, local neighbourhood reserves). Primary and secondary schools close by (e.g., Norfolk Village State School, Ormeau State School catchments and Ormeau Woods State High School). A mix of commuters (to Brisbane and Gold Coast) and local families; services and small commercial centres are clustered along Pascoe/Eggersdorf Road.

Guest Access

Other Details to Note

👤 Quick Pre-Check-In (Easy & Secure) Because this is a self-check-in home with no on-site staff, we use a simple pre-check-in process to keep everything running smoothly for our guests and the property. After your booking is confirmed, we’ll send you a short pre-check-in form that takes just a couple of minutes to complete. It includes: ➤ Photo ID verification (standard for many short-stay homes) ➤ $300 refundable security deposit, fully returned within 5-7 business days (depending on your bank) after checkout, provided the home is left in a reasonable condition. This process helps us ensure a safe, well-maintained space for everyone — and allows us to offer a seamless, contact-free check-in experience. Thanks so much for your understanding — we really appreciate it and are always here if you have questions 😊 🐶 Pet-Friendly (By Request) We’re happy to welcome your furry friends—just send us a quick message before booking to get approval. ➤➤ A $200 pet fee per pet, per stay applies and will be collected separately following booking confirmation. All pet fees and other service charges are processed directly by us through a third-party payment gateway. ➤ Pets must be house-trained, kept off furniture (unless covered), and not left alone at all times. ➤ To help keep the space enjoyable for everyone, please ensure all pet mess is cleaned up inside and outside the home, including the yard. Extra cleaning fees may apply if this isn’t taken care of. ⏰ Check-In & Check-Out Times Standard check-in is from 3:00 pm, and check-out is by 10:00 am. ➤ Early check-in or late check-out requests must be submitted at least one day in advance and are subject to availability. Unfortunately, same-day requests can’t be accommodated. If the home happens to be ready earlier on the day, we’ll always let you know — otherwise, we appreciate your understanding as our cleaning team needs adequate time to prepare the space for a comfortable stay. 🧴 Starter Supplies We provide a starter supply of essential items to help you settle in at the beginning of your stay. This includes basics such as toilet paper, hand soap, dishwashing liquid, and cleaning essentials. These supplies are intended to get you started and may not last for the full duration of longer stays, so guests are encouraged to top up as needed.

Location

Sorry we're unable to show you the location for this property

Getting around Car: Highly car-oriented; fast access to the M1 (Brisbane–Gold Coast motorway) provides direct driving to Brisbane CBD (~35–40 min in light traffic) and Gold Coast beaches/Central (~20–30 min). Street parking typical for residential properties. Train: Nearest station — Ormeau railway station (Gold Coast line) — provides regular services northbound to Brisbane (including Bowen Hills/Brisbane Domestic) and southbound to Varsity Lakes; station has level access and local bus/taxi connections. Bus: Local TransLink bus routes connect residential pockets to Ormeau station, Ormeau Village and neighbouring suburbs (check TransLink for specific routes/timetables). Air: Gold Coast Airport (OOL) is the nearest major airport (roughly 25–35 minutes by car depending on traffic); Brisbane Airport reachable by car or train via Brisbane network with longer travel time. Walkability: Local shops and parks are walkable if within the immediate estate but overall the suburb is low–medium walkability; most errands are easiest by car or short drive.
