However, if they do get out, (because they escaped while you were collecting their eggs, and you are most welcome) they will return to their hen house just as the sun sets, this is when you can lock them away again safe from foxes. Please do not let them out if your dog is also staying.

Parties and Functions are STRICTLY prohibited. The price charged is for domestic use only and not commercial. Due to respect for my elderly neighbours and neighbours with young children loud noises will NOT be tolerated after 10 pm.

Accordingly this rate does not allow for the extra wear associated with functions in terms of cleaning, garbage removal, wear and tear, repairs etc. Use contrary to this may result in loss of your bond and/or additional payments.

The living areas and two bedrooms have a northerly aspect with large glass windows to let in that winter sun. Thick curtains to keep out the cold winter nights. There is a slow combustion wood heater in the lounge room with wood, kindling, paper and a long fire lighter supplied. They are located in the wooden box next to the fireplace.

The instructions are located inside the control panel found in the family room. There is also a far infra red sauna in the family room. Very warm and therapeutic. Hospitals use them to speed up healing. The instructions are posted inside the unit framed on the wall. But basically you just press and hold the large on/off button to turn on and press and hold the same button till the indicator lights turn off to turn the sauna off. All double and queen sized beds have electric blankets. All beds have top and bottom flannelette sheets, woollen blankets and thick dooners.
