Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). 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.

Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, check in times are set as 3pm (unless by prior arrangement). Please also note that if you avail of the optional linen hire over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

So close to beach
The house was perfect for us. Plenty of room for the whole family and a quiet neighbourhood. A five minute walk to the beach was excellent.

The overall house itself was nice and neat and roomy enough for the 7 of us that stayed for a weeks holiday BUT for the money we paid we were very disappointed in the following .. couches very old and grotty All mattresses were old, lumpy and stained No mention of only tank water usage! Air conditioning leaking so couldn’t use it ?! Rat in yard and ping pong table full of webs Pots and pans should be thrown out

Comfortable
Property was spacious and very comfortable for a family. Kitchen had everything you need and lots of it! The mattresses probably all need to be updated and property just needs a really good scrub and spring clean, including all the linen and hand towels, but otherwise it was just what we needed!
