It's also a great space to sit in and relax, write, watch TV or movies, or simply share good times with friends and family. There is one flight of stairs (separating the entrance/kitchenette/laundry with the rest of the space), so please, you will need to be wary of this when booking with small infants. With your own private entrance you can come and go as you please. There's off street parking for one car (or more with notice), and a shared BBQ if that's your thing on a sunny day/evening. If you wish to have a fifth guest, we can hire a single fold out bed for an additional cost. This would be used in the living room or either bedroom. We can also provide a cot for hire. Special conditions: \- Be a clean and tidy guest \- Parking is available for two vehicles on site, and on street parking in abundance \- Security Bond may be required - details and costs will be provided upon confirming any booking.

The small kitchenette is located downstairs. With the main living area upstairs, we tried to minimize trips up & down the stairs.
