Where fireplaces and outdoor fire pits are advertised, they are only available in winter and subject to local fire restrictions; some properties provide a starter pack of firewood, while others do not, so guests must review their check-in details to confirm what is supplied and ensure fires are fully extinguished and the area left clean after use.

Any reservation made within 5 days of arrival requires a photo of a credit card in the same full name as the primary guest, matching the provided ID. If the names do not match, the booking will be cancelled and funds returned. This policy is in place to protect our guests, our property owners, and the community.
Pre-Authorisation / Security Deposit: A security bond or pre-authorisation will be required to cover accidental damage, breakages, or extra cleaning costs.

The surrounding garden and lawns were very unkept. Lovely comfortable beds and nice clean linen, the BBQ was not as clean as it could be, the house was very spacious but no ceiling fans or air conditioning ( two small fans didn’t cut it) the dishwasher was full of dirty water, the kitchen was well appointed with all that we needed. There weren’t towel rails in the very small ensuite. On a whole it was a long way from LYXURY as advertised
