Automatic eco compostable toilet which is a normal toilet experience - just no flushing! Separate modern and spacious bathroom (shower only). And for the daring - an outdoor hot water shower.
Two car accommodation under the house, plus loads of room for your boat, trailer, van or horse float on the property.
Your dogs are welcome, just note it's a rural property with barb wire fencing. Snakes may be on the property. No pets on furniture or the beds. We love our dog and want people to bring theirs. Please clean up after them.
Expansive wraparound deck, enjoy the breeze, sunset or starry nights from the outdoors or just relax on the hammocks. For the cooler months (or even the warmer ones) we have a large fire pit and outdoor sitting area made from large sandstone blocks.
Enjoy open plan living that is bright and airy with lots of windows to enjoy the breeze. No air-con or ceiling fans, free standing Vornado fans (eco air circulators) and the beautiful breeze atop the hill keeps you cool.
The well equipped modern kitchen has a gas burner stove and a modern oven. To support our eco ethos, kettle and toaster are stovetop and there is no dishwasher or microwave. Tea, coffee and basic cooking supplies are happily provided. Lots of tea towels for good old fashioned washing up = fun :). Fresh herbs are available for your use.
Two queen bedrooms and a comfy sofa couch (koala brand, queen size) in the lounge. While it sleeps six please be mindful it’s a small cottage, best suited for couples or small families with older children. Good quality linen and new beds, pillows and mattresses help with a good nights sleep.
The deck has a BBQ and an outdoor dining table. The hammocks are a great place to chill, read a book or stargaze.
