1 x Queen Bed with wardrobe
Both beds are dressed with high quality linen and doonas and have wall heaters and pedestal fans.
The lounge room has two comfortable couches, board games, Singstar Playstation and TV, Netflix and Foxtel. The split system and a wood fire is perfect for those crisp winter nights.
The en suite bathroom has a shower and toilet. The second bathroom has a shower over a bath and a separate toilet. We provide lovely soft high quality towels, and hand wash.
