The house is fully equipped and perfect for 2 families. Bedroom configuration : 1x King bedroom and 1 Queen bedroom, both with ensuite bathroom, plus an additional two queen bedrooms, sharing a third bathroomand an additional powder room.
There is a rumpus room with Foxtel TV (limited channels), as well as books and board games for children and adults to enjoy.
The Sun Room, with a free-to-air TV, is great for relaxing in the afternoon with a book, or just a separate area for the adults.
The inside dining table easily seats eight for dinner. There are four stools along the spacious kitchen island bench. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped, including oven and dishwasher, overlooking the vineyard.
The large pantry has a shelf full of condiments that guests are welcome to use - spices, salt, pepper, oil etc. A central double-sided fireplace heats the entire house.
The huge alfresco area hosts an outdoor kitchen, complete with BBQ, beer fridge and sink. The dining table overlooks the pool, set in front of an amazing rural backdrop. The perfect spot to enjoy lazy long lunches or bbq dinners in the warmer months. There are sun lounges and umbrellas inside the glass-fenced pool area for your enjoyment. The verandah that overlooks the main lawn and vineyard has a day bed, and is a favourite spot to sit for an afternoon vino and tasting plate. The grassed area in front of the vineyard is perfect for a game of botchie, soccer or other games.
There is a table tennis table and pool table in the garage for even more fun and games. You will also find beach chairs, body boards, buckets and spades provided, so feel free to use them while out and about during your stay. There is a large trampoline, rope swings, climbing frame and basket ball hoop (BYO basketball) on the property for the kids.Enjoy exploring down by the dam year round, or stream (in cooler months) with good old-fashioned leaf boat races. **Children to be supervised at all times**
The property is set on 10 acres of bushland so there is plenty to explore. You may even be lucky enough to meet our resident kangaroos. You will not see any other houses or neighbours so you really will feel secluded. However, please be aware we do have neighbours and noise travels, so please be respectful in the evenings and if you are playing music outside, be mindful of the volume as the evening gets later. The laundry has a washing machine for your use, and a dryer in the garage, should you need it. There is a clothesline outside the laundry, as well as inside the garage. We keep the property stocked with handwash, body wash, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher pellets, washing power, tissues, toilet paper, tea, coffee and sugar.
Guests are free to use the entire house and garage, including games, beach gear and bikes. Guests are free to go where they want on the property except the large work shed away from the main house, which is locked and unavailable for guests. Please refrain from going near this shed and any machinery (which can be dangerous). The sauna is not for guest use.
Please BYO pool towels, unless hire towels have been previously arranged with your host for an additional fee. All other linen is provided by a professional hotel quality linen service.
An extra trundle bed is available for an extra fee of $25 per night. Please give as much notice as possible if required.
A travel cot and high chair is available to use at the property at no extra fee.
No outdoor fires to be lit at any time of year, under any circumstances.
Parents with young children should note there is an unfenced dam on the property so will need to be diligent. It is set away from the house. There is a grassed lawn with a fence between it, but not completely enclosed.
No adults permitted to sleep on top bunks.
Mid-stay cleans, and linen changes can be arranged for guests staying 12 nights or more for an extra fee. Please advise at time of booking if required.
Water is precious, please to limit water usage. The rainwater is filtered and perfectly ok, and delicious to drink.
The property has a security alarm (for which we will give you the code) and monitored security cameras. Please be assured that the cameras do not monitor the pool area.
As this is a large rural property, from time to time there will be maintenance during your stay (for vineyard; lawn mowing; pool) but no-one will come to the house. The pool maintenance man currently comes every 2nd Wednesday to clean the pool.
During March/April there may be grape picking - a date that we cannot choose as it is up to the wine gods as to when the grapes are ready for picking! We usually have a space of a few days to have them picked and try to organise this when there are no guests at the property. However, some guests have actually enjoyed witnessing the experience in the past!-
Maximum number of guests (adults and children combined) is 8 but no more than 6 adults per booking. This is a family home, and is not available for adult bookings (ie 21sts, 30th, 40ths). Strictly no parties or large group gatherings.
Strictly no leavers.
Strictly no pets allowed.
Rubbish: As this is a rural property there is no rubbish collection from the local council. Please dispose of all general rubbish in the large skip bins provided. There are 2 green bins with yellow lids by the main shed for your recyclables. The bins are emptied regularly, however if you noticed it is full, please let us know and we will have it emptied immediately.
