About the home

Indoor Areas

Bedroom 1 (with BIR) and Bedroom 2 (with free-standing clothes hanger & shelves) are positioned toward the front of the home, while Bedroom 3 (with WIR) sits further down the hall near the central Bathroom (with shower & toilet).

The hallway flows through to the Living Room (with an 85” Smart TV) and Office/Work from home area, thoughtfully tailored for remote workers with extremely fast WiFi, a large 48-inch widescreen, and a wall of QR codes offering fun local ideas and AI assistance. Adjacent is the Kitchen/Dining area, while a separate Toilet and fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer) add extra convenience for guests.

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—and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.
