The open plan Kitchen/Dining/Living Room (with TV, DVD player & Sony sound system) looks out on the lovely rear deck. Bedroom 1 has a small wall-mounted TV, WIR and ensuite (with shower & toilet), Bedrooms 2 & 3 each have BIR and share access to the main bathroom (with bath & shower) and a separate toilet. There is also a laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer).

Outdoor Areas

The great-sized covered rear deck has an 8-seater table, 4 Adirondack chairs & a gas BBQ, and overlooks the fully enclosed rear yard (6ft fence all around) which is perfect for children and pets alike. The yard includes a fire pit (please BYO wood). The front yard is also enclosed and there is space for up to three vehicles (cars and/or a boat) in the driveway.

Kitchen

The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, Nespresso compatible pod coffee machine, toaster, kettle, etc. plus a double sink, fridge, dishwasher, electric oven and cook top.

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.

Peak Periods

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.

short family getaway

This absolutely beautiful home was kept so immaculately. There was a great variety of dvds for late night entertainment. Nice big back yard for the dogs and kids to play in. The rooms were very spacious. Everything was very comfortable. I am a person who usually can not sleep in any other bed but my own, yet the queen bed was very comfortable for me to sleep in.It was the perfect home way from home.Thank you very much.
