Dolans Bay is a small prestige pocket on Port Hacking, and almost everything that rents here is substantial: multi-level homes on steep waterfront blocks, big floorplans, pools, terraces and walls of glass facing the water. With high rents come large bonds, and property managers inspect these homes with the care that the money involved deserves.
The cleans are shaped by the architecture. Steep blocks mean homes that step down the hill, with living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms spread across levels connected by internal stairs. Water-facing glass takes on salt film that shows badly in direct light, exactly the light an agent inspects in. Outdoor terraces, glass balustrades and pool surrounds all sit on the checklist for homes like these, and the bond cleaners we work with scope each one before pricing rather than guessing from a bedroom count.
What the clean covers
The scope follows standard agent checklists, sized to the home:
- Kitchen fully degreased, including double ovens and butler's pantries where fitted
- All cupboards and drawers inside and out
- Every bathroom and ensuite descaled, screens and grout scrubbed
- Windows, tracks and screens across all levels, salt film removed from water-facing glass
- Terraces and balconies swept, glass balustrades cleaned
- Stairs, landings, voids and high fittings dusted where safely reachable
- Walls spot-cleaned, skirting and doors wiped
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout
Homes here vary too much for a standard price, so treat any figure as guide pricing only and use our bond cleaning cost guide for broad ranges before a property-specific quote.
For carpeted areas, if your lease requires carpet steam cleaning, the cleaner can supply a receipt, and a serious kitchen suits a dedicated oven and kitchen clean. A last minute bond clean can be arranged when the handover date is close. The base scope is on our end of lease cleaning page.
We also cover Burraneer and Caringbah South next door.
Frequently asked questions
Is pool cleaning part of a Dolans Bay bond clean?
Pool water and equipment servicing is a separate trade. The clean covers the surrounds and outdoor areas, so check your lease or ask your agent what is required if you are unsure.
How long does a multi-level waterfront home take?
Usually a full day or more for a team, depending on levels, bathrooms and glass. The quote sets the time honestly rather than squeezing it.
Can the clean guarantee my full bond back?
No. On bonds this size that matters even more: the clean is done to standard agent checklists, which is what the inspection measures, and the refund decision belongs to your agent and landlord.
