Ettalong Beach sits on Broken Bay at the end of the Peninsula, with the ferry wharf, a cinema and markets at its centre and a dense mix of apartments, villas and older cottages around it. Holiday letting and long term renting run side by side here.
Apartments are a large share of the work, which brings strata access, balconies and sliding doors into the job. Salt film sits on balcony glass, balustrades and window screens, and sand comes in through every door in summer. Short stay turnover means kitchens and bathrooms that have carried heavy use, so the oven and grout take real time.
What the clean covers
The scope follows standard agent checklists rather than a promise about your bond:
- Oven, cooktop, rangehood and splashback degreased
- Cupboards, drawers and bench tops cleaned
- Bathrooms descaled, screens and grout scrubbed
- Windows, sliding doors, tracks and screens with salt film removed
- Balcony swept, glass and balustrades cleaned where present
- Walls spot cleaned, skirting boards, switches and fans
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout
Pricing depends on size and condition. One and two bedroom apartments are the common job here and sit at the lower end of the range. Treat any figure as guide pricing only and see our bond cleaning cost guide for typical ranges.
You can add carpet steam cleaning if your lease asks for it, a dedicated bathroom and tile clean where the grout has worked hard, or window cleaning on its own. The base scope sits on our end of lease cleaning page, and short-notice jobs are covered on the last minute bond clean page.
We also cover nearby Umina Beach, Booker Bay and Woy Woy.
Frequently asked questions
Our apartment building needs a lift booking. Is that a problem?
No, but arrange it with your building manager and tell us the rules when you ask for a quote so the cleaner can plan the day.
Is the balcony included in a bond clean?
Yes, where the property has one. Balcony floors, glass and the sliding door track are routine exit checklist items in beachside apartments.
Will the clean guarantee my bond is returned?
No. The bond covers damage and rent as well as cleaning, so no honest cleaner promises it back. A checklist clean gives you the best chance of keeping cleaning out of the argument.
