What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Generally a nice property, well located and equipped. Biggest issue was internet access - extremely slow. Not able to stream and taking 5 minutes to down load digital image. Totally inadequate and created cloud of frustration over stay. Although generally clean, seemed as though the pre clean fell short - dirty tray in oven, dirty cutting board, no liners/bags in bins. Wont be going back.
