The inside of the house where Pheobe Bishop had been staying has been revealed just days after her housemates were charged with her murder.

Footage captured by 7News revealed the inside of the Gin Gin property where Pheobe Bishop, 17, lived with Tanika Bromley, 33, and James Wood, 34.

The home was deemed a crime scene six days after Bishop went missing on May 15.

She was due to fly to Western Australia to visit her boyfriend, but failed to check in at Bundaberg Airport.

The Entrance and front porch were littered with dozens of empty soft drink bottles, torn up and broken furniture and strewn clothes.

The landlord also pointed out gel blasters propped up against one of the bedroom walls.

Doors and walls with hastily patched holes and broken locks were all damage that the landlords told 7News was not there before they moved in.

The landlords told 7News Bromley had leased the Gin Gin property just six months ago.

Bromley and Wood were arrested on Thursday, June 5, exactly three weeks after Pheobe was last seen.

To clean up and fix the damaged home, including the use of skip bins to remove rubbish would cost the landlords an estimated $10,000 to $15,000.

Human remains, believed to be those of Bishop, were located in the Good Night Scrub National Park a day later.
