FAQ.

Do you have public liability insurance? +
Yes, $20m public liability coverage on the venue. We ask that your production carries its own policy for crew and talent. We'd be happy to provide a copy on request.
Can we move furniture? +
Generally no, so as to minimise damage and keep the home as it photographs. Only with prior approval.
Can we bring our own catering? +
No, catering is arranged in-house. Otherwise, perhaps pop down to our local cafe or pub, a 200m walk away.
Is there off-street parking for the production van? +
Yes, secure off-street parking for two vehicles, with a loading area at the rear. Additional crew can park on-street.
Cancellation? +
Full refund up to 14 days before your shoot; 50% refund within 14 days. Within 7 days, no refund possible.
