Questions and Answers

Breakfast:

Our aim is to provide all the urbane comforts of a city B & B, without the imposition of hovering hosts. Accordingly, we do not intrude at breakfast time, before you are ready to face the world. Rather, we pamper you with the continental breakfast provisions of your choice, including eggs and endless tea and coffee, discreetly placed in your sideboard the night before, so you can help yourself at your leisure in the morning. When you indicate, via a sign hanging on the dividing door, we will quietly clear away your breakfast things, and service your rooms. 

Phone / Internet Connection:

There is a cordless direct-dial phone by the bed for your exclusive use, with an unlisted phone number. Please feel free to make unlimited local calls while you are in residence, however, this line cannot dial interstate or overseas. Calls from these places can, of course, come in.

There is also a phone jack behind the sofa with a long extension cord so that you can plug into the internet using your laptop, if you are using a Perth connection to your server. Alternately, you may prefer to visit one of the many internet cafés in nearby Northbridge.

Laundry:

When our washing machine is not in use, you are welcome to use our laundry facilities and clothes line/dryer, if we are in attendance. Alternately, there is a Laundromat on your walking map within easy strolling distance.

Smoking:

You are welcome to smoke outside, using the ashtray provided on your outdoor setting. 

Pets:

Unfortunately, we are not set up for pets on the premises, however you are most welcome to feed our pond fish at feeding times - just ask us for some fish flakes. 

Children:

Children of all ages are welcome at Above Bored, where child safety has been carefully considered. Our landscaped gardens are fully enclosed within high clinker brick walls, with high latch gates. There's a sturdy grill over the goldfish pond, and fire screens are provided for each of the gas fireplaces, which attach to the wall when children are in residence, to prevent the screens from being pulled over. However, all responsibility for the safety of your children can only reside with you. As we do not own a cot, you may like to bring a porta-cot, for any littleys not yet comfortable sleeping in a single bed.
