Home truths
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s also private parking.
This home is spread across two floors with three of the bedrooms located on the ground floor. Please also note the bunk beds are best suited to children.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is 7.5 kilometres away.
