Things to Note:



**Important update for bookings from May onwards



A few changes are happening to the property, so we want to be upfront before you book. From May the home will be configured as a 3 bedroom home with 3 queen beds, plus 2 pull-out single trundle mattresses for an extra 2 guests if needed.



The bathroom is being upgraded, and the dining and lounge furniture will be refreshed.



There will also be a separate mobile home parked at the back of the property, with fencing. You will have the whole of the back yard and deck to yourself (apart from where the mobile home is parked). The owner may occasionally stay in the separate adjoining section of the property, though all areas are fully separate, private and self-contained.



Updated photos will be added soon so the listing reflects the new setup.
