We are in the process of upgrading the hot water system as it currently doesn’t allow the bath to be filled. Apologies! Please note the current system is very hot, please take care.

Mosquitos/insects

At certain times of the year, especially summer there are insects about. Suggestion: if you want to keep doors open in the evening, the secret is to have the outside lights brighter than the inside lights, as insects will tend to be attracted to the brightest light.

Mozzie coils can be found on the front veranda.

“Such a beautiful and peaceful airbnb! Check-in was super easy, and place was exactly as described. We rented this place out for the weekend for my dad’s birthday and our pets and found it to be perfect for the occasion. Having access to Kayak’s during the stay and some board games made it so fun as well! TV also came with Netflix. View was unbeatable. Only thing was that the tap water had a super yellow tinge to it, so we stuck with bottled water. Highly recommend!”
