Pricing
Base cost
Each visit to your cottage, home, or property is a flat $55, plus $10 for travel. That is $65 a visit.
The travel charge is the same wherever your property is. We are based in Davis Bay and attend the whole Sunshine Coast, and a cottage in Egmont is charged exactly what a cottage in Roberts Creek is charged. You do not pay more for being further out, and you do not need a map to work out what a visit costs.
Incidental tasks (watering plants, picking up the mail, and the like) are $35 per hour, billed in fifteen minute increments. Larger work such as lawn cutting, pool maintenance, carpentry, or landscaping can be arranged; that depends on what is being asked for.

A worked example
This is an illustration. You can set any number of visits per month you wish.
Your policy states the property must not be left unattended for more than three days. On that basis we would attend 10 times a month. The figure to use is the one in your own wording.
| Property check | $55 × 10 visits | $550.00 |
| Travel | $10 × 10 visits | $100.00 |
| Total monthly cost | $650.00 | |
That's it.
The same figures apply anywhere between Gibsons and Egmont.
Storm checks
We watch the local weather. If you have asked for storm checks and a storm arises where your property is, we attend, before and after if you want both, and send you a report. See Storm and Freeze Response.
If you have not specifically asked for storm checks, we continue to attend at your regular scheduled times.
