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

It's been 24 hours since check-out, and I’m happy to say we’re sad to be back home. I had family visiting from New Zealand and wanted to treat them to something special, and this place was perfect. The location was so central to all the attractions and shops we wanted to visit, and everyone had their own space to relax. The size was ideal for our group.A big thank you to the team for being so accommodating and responsive. I will be rebooking this spot again.

Good experience

The house was as described, pool water was cold but that could be due to the weather being cool, as the pool is solar heated. Overall it was a pleasant experience for our group.

Spacious property with a lot of potential

The house is great for large family groups. Decent sized kitchen area and large lounge area. Outdoor area is also good sized and has everything we needed. While we had a couple of issues with some of the cleanliness overall we had a great long weekend and would stay here again

Has got potential

The location was great and house was spacious. However, for what we paid it was a bit disappointing. The photos online photos were deceptive. In terms of cleanliness, the carpets needed replacing and smelt terrible. There was rubbish and gummy bear lollies under the bed in the main bedroom on the bottom level. The BBQ was filthy, had not been cleaned from previous occupants and could not be used. There was an outside fridge which was also very unclean. The kitchen cupboards were dirty and even some of the bowls had not been cleaned properly. Overall the place has potential, but is in need of a very good clean.
