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. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed.

Guests who request to add optional linen within 7 days of check-in: We will attempt to coordinate the optional linen with our cleaner. In some cases this may not be possible (and Guests will need to bring their own optional linen). Where we can organise it, a $45 call out fee may apply (in addition to the per-bed charge) if the cleaner is required to make a special trip to the home to facilitate the last minute optional linen request.
