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 (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.
Peak Periods
Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, check in times are set as 3pm unless by prior arrangement. Please also note that if you avail of the optional linen hire over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

The house itself is great, but the expensive linen service was very disappointing. I would recommend the house, it's a great setup, but bring your own linen as the linen provided was not clean and nor were the beds made up.
The house is huge and presented well.The only suggestions we would make is to add one more double bed in one of the bunk rooms. Some minor issues we found, the house should be aired out a few days before someone checks in, especially if it hasnt been used in the off season. There were 2 empty gas bottles for the bbq, those should be full if the bbq is a feature and more toilet paper needs to be provided. A bit more of a clean is also needed, dusty fans, oily over knobs and coffee machine. But apart from that the house is great! Very spacious for the kids to play in and for the adults to have a break. Decorated well.Decent parking space. 2km to smiths beach. I would definitely recommend for people to stay here. It was great!!!!!
