Living next to a weekend party house

In response to the article "Mehrtens concerned about short-term accommodation" which appeared in Peninsula News edition 470, it is not only AirBnB creating headaches for residents

We now live next to a weekend party house courtesy of Accom.

It is a three day a week, summer nightmare of noise, drunken, loutish behaviour and foul-mouthed intimidation.

Some weekends, we can no longer sit outside because of the chaos from next door: 16 hours straight of classic Bollywood tunes played at high volume, drunks wandering onto our property, urinating into the bay, continuous swearing.

A house supposedly sleeping eight is accommodating 20 and letting agents are very apologetic on Monday, but not so much at 1am on Sunday morning.

The best moment was being asked by one of the temporary neighbours how long we were staying.

We actually have to live here.
