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.

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.
