I suggest all guests make a note of whether the Guests will bring their own OR require me/the host to supply all the bed linen/bath & beach towels. But please allow for an additional surcharge of $595 for linen/towels, if you prefer the owner to provide temporary use and then dry clean them all afterwards too. Otherwise, we would prefer that guests all bring their own linen/towels. Ie/ (x5 queen size fitted/flat sheets, x1 double bed, x4 single bed & all pillow cases too. Plus 16 white bath towels & x16 beach towels for your temporary use).
I just prefer to know upfront which is preferable by the guest (ie guest or host to supply all linen/towels). As each guest is different and there may be additional costs and time needed for cleaning & linen/towel setup too. Hence, please advise upfront which you prefer?

Cassandra and Group were all very respectful of our house , its rules and were super tidy also. Our cleaner, couldnt rave highly enough about the clean state they left our home in. It would be a pleasure to have them back and i recommend them to other hosts too.
Kitchen was exceptionally well equipped; Yard size was fantastic and totally enclosed, so little children were safe and secure when playing outside; wide range of activities available to keep everyone interested and engaged; Communication with Nick (host) was prompt and detailed; highly recommend!
Fabulous house with 6 bedrooms 3 bathrooms, lots of room for 12 adults. Beds comfy, kitchen well equipped, games room with pool and table tennis tables. Walk to beach and coffee shops and supermarket under 2km away. Great communication with host.
We all happy, games, play cards, tennis, bed room, especially out side gate give a confidence for kids no going out. The house is clean, kitchen is full kitchen staff.
So, all my family and friends are happy and Said thank you for Mr Nick
It's always nice to revisit this house. Thanks Nick again for facilitating our stay and being accommodating. The place is great for big families, close to the beach and shops. A very clean house indeed.
Nick’s place is spacious, modern and a perfect house for an Easter getaway down the peninsula.
Walking distance to food/beach/activities.
We had a great time and would definitely stay again
Thanks Nick once again. We were very happy to visit the house again. The experience was as pleasant as our first. Thanks for being accommodating to our family and for absolutely amazing communication skills. Looking forward to coming again
This house was very well equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen has plenty of crockery and utensils. There is also a great selection of board games to enjoy. The house is very clean, has a couple of great outdoor areas to lounge in and the beds are super comfortable.
