The side door to the verandah, added extra ventilation to reduce the heat buildup in late afternoon. A fold down, one legged table from the jarrah cabinet would be extremely advantageous when making hot drinks/breakfast, as there is little to no room, between the electric appliances. ##### nola D.

This place was such a godsend at the end of a busy day, so comfortable and private. The little things make all the difference. Like the welcoming decanter of Port, the chockies and the selections from coffee to Milk. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a little piece and quiet.
