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.

Family getaway
The property presented well and was comfortable for our needs, although one more single or queen bed instead of two double bunks would have been perfect for us. Plenty of kitchenware, plates glasses and cutlery etc, a decent size table and chairs, lots of seating and plenty of room on the deck, large yard and a games room. Well done to our hosts.

Blue Gums Holiday accommodation.
This property offers spacious living areas with large bedrooms and plenty of beds. Two bathrooms and three toilets. A large backyard with decking, undercover entertaining area with Webber BBQ and a garage converted into a large gaming room including table tennis, billiards etc with a TV and audio system. Great for teenagers and adults alike. A freshly painted property with floating floor boards and tiles throughout. Very clean and comfortable for all. All rooms have furnishings that are in as new condition. A great place to holiday for a large family and friends.
