The huge rear open plan kitchen / dining / living room (with smart tv) provides a great space to relax with family & friends. The home has a brand new Coonara style fireplace. A separate hall off the living room leads to bedrooms 3 & 4 (each with built in robes), the main bathroom (with bath & shower), a separate toilet and full sized laundry. The double garage has internal access into the home.

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.
